Since the embarrassing loss to the Green Bay Packers, all we have heard from Cowboys Nation is how the Dallas Cowboys can’t stop the run.
Aaron Jones and the Packers ran through the Cowboys’ defense like a hot knife through butter back in January. The Cowboys’ actions this offseason have not done much to convince the fanbase they are willing to fix it.
Their solution to fix the rush defense was to draft a 7th round player from Auburn and refuse to sign Johnathan Hankins back to the team. Sprinkle in some undrafted free agents, and their efforts were complete.
Just last week, they signed Jordan Phillips, but he surprised us by revealing that he was not signed to play the 1-tech position along the defensive line. Instead, he provides mass to the 3-tech position behind Osa Odighizuwa.
At the conclusion of camp in Oxnard, California, the Dallas Cowboys announced the signing of another defensive tackle, Linval Joseph. He is a familiar face to DC Mike Zimmer, and will certainly come in specifically to play the 1-tech position.
