Cowboys News: Analytics rising, defensive storylines, how the Gilmore trade aged

All the details about the star-studded Dallas defense, another addition to the Cowboys analytics team and more in the News and Notes. | From @cdburnett7

The Dallas Cowboys may have their best roster in the Dak Prescott era, and a lot of it has to do with Dan Quinn and the defense. This could be the closest thing to the Doomsday defense in some time.

A large reason for this is the young talent on the unit. While players like edge rusher Micah Parsons and cornerback Trevon Diggs are the stars, Sam Williams is a breakout waiting to happen on the defensive line. The unit is even deeper, but how will the snaps be split over so many players this season? How they will be deployed is another key factor, as Dan Quinn continues to evolve.

Dallas continued their efforts to add analytics geeks to the staff. More on the data evolution, a 7/11 reference from the Cowboys’ stars and how the Cowboys won the Stephon Gilmore trade in the latest News and Notes.
