## Resource

The Dallas Cowboys defense was a disaster last season, ranking dead last in yards allowed and passing defense while surrendering franchise-record 59 touchdowns. After failing to fix their middle linebacker position with signings and trades that didn’t pan out, the team is rebuilding from scratch with a new scheme, trading for Dee Winters, drafting Jaishawn Barham, and hoping injured DeMarvion Overshown can stay healthy. Early practices show promise with Winters and Overshown leading reps, while Barham impresses coaches. But the real test comes when pads go on — and the whole defense hinges on who can control the middle. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
