Despite the much deserved hand-wringing over the defensive line it is quite possible that the linebackers have been the weak link of the Cowboys defense over the first two games. The unit again struggled to get off blocks against the run and were beaten in coverage across the middle of the field by the Redskins tight ends. The coaching staff’s position on this group is clear as Sean Lee again played every defensive snap while Justin Durant and Anthony Hitchens rotated in next to him with Kyle Wilber and Andrew Gachkar sprinkled in for a few plays here and there.
