According to The 33rd Team, the Cowboys\u2019 defense generated pressure on 42.4 percent of their opponents\u2019 dropbacks (pre-MNF\/SNF), second only behind the Pittsburgh Steelers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Generating pressure is still crucial for a defense\u2019s success, but getting to the quarterback is how defenders get big paydays in this league. Dallas decided to trade away one of the best sack artists, Micah Parsons, so when the Cowboys only recorded one sack against Philadelphia, it\u2019s reasonable to question whether Dallas\u2019s strategy of utilizing a variety of pass rushers can effectively compensate for the production lost due to Parsons\u2019 departure.<\/p>\n<p>For context, during his time in Dallas, Parsons faced the Eagles seven times and recorded five sacks in those matchups. Philadelphia boasts one of the best left and right tackle tandems in the league, so any lack of production in Week 1 could likely be attributed to the challenging matchup for Dallas\u2019 young pass rushers.<\/p>\n<p>Defensive end Sam Williams wants the questions about Parsons to stop since he\u2019s no longer with the team.<\/p>\n<div>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI feel like everybody is really tired of that question.\u201d Williams said during media availability the day after the season opener. \u201cMicah is gone. So, I feel like we should stop bringing up his name. He\u2019s on Green Bay. You should ask about the Cowboys and worry about what we got in the locker room\u2026.Micah is always gonna be part of the family, especially in the D-line room. But other than that, that\u2019s his business. \u2026 I\u2019m worried about me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>Williams is right. It\u2019s time to stop asking questions about a former teammate who\u2019s no longer around. However, the Dallas defensive line still needs to show they can make up for some of Parsons\u2019 production, or his shadow will continue to linger. Thankfully, Williams and the rest of the defensive end crew have a matchup on Sunday against the New York Giants that offers an opportunity to get started on that.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Giants offensive line struggled against the Washington Commanders to open the season, allowing a ton of pressure on Russell Wilson. The Commanders generated 22 pressures across 45 dropbacks in their Week 1 victory over the Giants, per NFL Pro. That was five more pressures than Washington had in a game all of last season. Dorance Armstrong had a career-high nine pressures alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Armstrong is a solid player, but Dante Fowler, Sam Williams, Marshawn Kneeland, and Donovan Ezeiruaku have the potential to match or even exceed his level of production. Not to mention the Giants will be without starting left tackle Andrew Thomas for the second week in a row. James Hudson, who is Thomas\u2019 replacement at left tackle, surrendered six pressures, which tied for second most among all offensive linemen for Week 1 per Pro Football Focus. The Cowboys could circle that matchup as one they\u2019d like to attack all game.<\/p>\n<p>If the Cowboys\u2019 edge rushers can combine for at least four sacks, the perception of the group should change, and Parsons\u2019 name should start to fade from the conversation, or at least until Week 4 when the Green Bay Packers come to town.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cowboys pass rush has been the subject of a lot of attention lately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32617,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dallas-cowboys"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
