Summary

The Cowboys really underachieved defensively last season but still ranked 14th overall. The pass defense and pass rush were the biggest issues. The Cowboys ranked 23 against the pass and had 42 sacks, which is a decent total but more was expected from this highly touted unit. Dallas revamped the secondary for this season, though, drafting Morris Claiborne and signing Brandon Carr. Both should start and be an upgrade for the secondary. Dallas also hopes to get DeMarcus Ware playing at a high level once again. Ware is one of the more talented defensive players in the league but was a little quiet at times last season. If he gets going and the pass defense just becomes average, the Cowboys' defense will be scary. The special teams are just alright with Dez Bryant handling punts returns and Dwayne Harris likely serving as the kick returner. Bryant has big-play ability but tends to be erratic in this role.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
This is a fantasy defense with top-five potential. They are worth grabbing as a starter in hopes of a bit of a turnaround. The talent is there for big things from this unit. They have a lot of sack potential and interceptions should be up with Claiborne around.

Notes

Dallas Cowboys DE Kyle Wilber said he currently weighs 255 pounds and likely will not look to add any more weight. Wilber said the team wants him to keep his speed and do not think he needs to get any bigger to play defensive end. Wilber played at 243 pounds last season as an outside linebacker.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said the team will be moving LB Kyle Wilber to defensive end in the team's 4-3 defensive alignment. 'Kyle Wilber is going to start out as a defensive end for us, and one of the things we liked about him coming out as an outside linebacker and what his best trait was as a pass rusher,' Garrett said. 'We feel like the easiest transition for him will be to put his hand on the ground and be that pass rusher as opposed to the off the ball linebacker. We'll see how he adjusts to it and once we get on the field we'll make that determination going forward.'
