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

May 17 01:02 pm
Dallas Cowboys OT Tyron Smith agreed to pay his parents in installments after signing a four-year, $12.5 million deal in 2011 after being drafted ninth overall in the first round. Smith's family harassed him for more financial gain after he helped them out, and physical threats lead Smith to file a protective order against his parents last summer to keep them from coming in contact with him. Smith's family, including his brother and sisters, continually demanded money from him and also took more than $1 million from him. 'There was money missing, but I just don't know where it went,' Smith said. 'There were times I would check my statements and it wouldn't make sense and I hadn't authorized it at all. I just felt betrayed and I was like, 'Who can I trust?''

Dallas Cowboys OT Tyron Smith said he would like to add 10 pounds this offseason and play at 315 pounds during the season. 'I just want to be a better run-blocker and be stronger and more physical,' Smith said. 'There were times last year where I felt like I was too fast and I was a little off-balanced. I just basically want to add a little weight and stay there, be fast and strong at the same time.'
