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.

Dallas Cowboys OLs David Arkin and Harland Gunn struggled with their snaps so much in practice Tuesday, Aug. 7, that head coach Jason Garrett had to insert C Phil Costa to work with the third team just so the unit could run plays. Still, executive vice president Stephen Jones downplayed any fears in the event Costa goes down with an injury. 'Center? We feel like we are going to be fine there,' Jones said. 'Arkin, I've noticed days he's had a little problem with the snaps. At some point, we will put the ball in (OG Mackenzy) Bernadeau's hands. He's (played center) before. It's not totally foreign to him.'

Dallas Cowboys OG David Arkin said he spent the offseason building his strength up - something that was lacking last season. 'I feel like I was able to get in the weight room with Mike Woicik and really work a lot and get stronger,' Arkin said. 'I felt like that was a little bit of a problem for me, my anchor strength, and I feel like I've gotten a lot better with that.'
