"For two years in a row, the Bengals' offense has had to pick up the slack for their defense, and they have lost a lot of games because they were never at the same level. For Dallas, you wonder when the dam breaks and an offensive player has a candid conversation with the media like Chase did, throwing the defense under the bus."
"I was one of the very few left who still held out hope for Mazi Smith to become the player the front office envisioned when they drafted him in the first round. Three defensive coordinators later, and no one has been able to unlock his potential. With the Cowboys struggling to stop the run at an alarming rate, acquiring a player who's three years into a rookie contract or a veteran who's been around for multiple seasons"
The Cowboys and Bengals rank among the NFL's worst defenses despite having talented offenses. Ja'Marr Chase expressed frustration with his team's defense after a loss, and similar frustration could surface in Dallas. Brian Schottenheimer signaled that changes are coming and emphasized preserving culture. Mazi Smith, a first-round pick, has not developed through three defensive coordinators. The Cowboys struggle to stop the run at an alarming rate. The team should pursue upgrades along the interior defensive line, either a player entering year three of a rookie contract or a seasoned veteran. Potential targets mentioned include Harrison Phillips, Bryan Bresee, Calais Campbell, and T'Vondre Sweat.
