Rob: I think it's just a matter of getting enough pressure, being aggressive and getting in the right position to make those types of plays. This defense is certainly capable; last year after four games the Cowboys had 11 takeaways (9 interceptions, 2 fumble recoveries) that led to seven scores. Here's what Wade Phillips said on Monday:
"They usually come in bunches but we just haven't had them. We started off really well last year, but it hasn't happened yet. But I think it will come. We have too many talented guys that have ball skills." 
Mailbag: Worried about impact of new staff?
Many folks are optimistic in their outlook for the 2025 season, and most of that appears to be based on players maintaining their health. But what about the fact that this is an almost entirely new coaching staff with assistants who are both new to the NFL and to their positional responsibilities? In my opinion, that nearly subtracts two wins from any projections of the final record for 2025. Too pessimistic?Â
