IRVING, Texas -- On Friday, we offered up a look at the offensive players on the Dallas Cowboys' 90-man roster. On Monday, here is a look at the defense and special teams.
By drafting Ezekiel Elliott in the first round, the Cowboys have effectively said their best defense is a tremendous offense. They want to limit the snaps for the defense with a controlling ground game, but there has to be points that come with the running game. It worked well in 2014 and the Cowboys want it to work well in 2016.
