The Dallas Cowboys should enter training camp with cautious optimism at linebacker

At this time two years ago it was a real question: Just how good could the Dallas Cowboys linebackers become?

The Cowboys were coming off of their magical 2018 season where Amari Cooper saved the day on offense and Leighton Vander Esch howled to life on defense. To make matters more impressive, next to then-rookie LVE the Cowboys looked to be big winners on the huge gamble that they’d taken on Jaylon Smith two years earlier out of Notre Dame. What a time.

As we all know things fell apart rather quickly for the Cowboys, especially in the middle of the defense.
