Cowboys news: Dan Quinn believes in “strength in numbers” on defense

Dan Quinn doesn’t mind playing a lot of people for significant snaps on defense, showing that Dallas has depth this year.

The number stood at 29 through the first three games.

Last Sunday, Cowboys rookie defensive tackle Austin Faoliu played 10 defensive snaps against the Carolina Panthers, pushing the figure to a clean 30. Thirty different players have taken at least one defensive snap for the Cowboys in their first four games.

Safety Darian Thompson, out since a Week 1 hamstring injury, sits at one snap. Cornerbacks Trevon Diggs and Anthony Brown share the team lead at 175.
