Dallas is more than fine in the secondary, especially at corner, for having a top defense. A ball hawking safety would be icing on the cake back there, but it's not a dire need. Chido and Woods are fine and improving players, Heath isn't a liability at least.
LB is pretty damn good, and in Marinelli's 4-3, LB is super important.
The DL could use another pass rusher and more reliable inside presence/pocket collapser. That could have been Irving if he could get his shit together.
But Drummond has a point: We don't create turnovers and we don't get off the field on third downs at an acceptable rate, relative to the rest of the NFL.
I have no idea why any of those things are the way they are. Our line, linebackers, and secondary all should be good enough to get turnovers at a higher rate than they are. Kris Richard comes from a place that generated good turnover numbers, too.
Maybe teams are playing us conservative because they don't fear Dak, they don't fear falling behind. But that still doesn't explain the third down struggles. Not sure what to make of that.
Statistically we are good, but again, we aren't pressing teams to need to score, because we can't score ourselves. Without it's own improvement, the defense would turn into a paper tiger a bit, if our offense got going. It would let us down by not getting off the field.
Not sure how to fix that.
