Their defense was middle of the pack last year.  Not horrible, but not one of the best.  

Ranked 8th in yards, 13th in points.

 

not to mention I am pretty sure they have improved their D from last year.

He's surprisingly really good out of the backfield.  IMO, that will be the biggest difference between him and Stewart.  McCaffrey is obviously our #1 receiving back, but we can still depend on Anderson in that regard too if need be.  Doubt we felt the same, or were as comfortable, with Stewart in that role.

His receiving skills force teams to at least think of the pass and not load the box. I think he complements CMC very well.

Dallas' defense finished #8 overall last year, but they had a very uneven season as a unit. Their offense and defense hardly ever synced at the same time last year.

In yards per game perhaps.  In points and yards per rush, they finished in the middle of the pack.  The were 15th in sacks.  They gave up more passing td's than all but five teams.  Opposing passer rating against them was 95.

They have tried to improve it.  Whether they did or not, well we will start finding out soon enough.  But their pass defense was pretty bad last year.

Some 2 back sets where CMC or CJ could run or receive will be interesting...perhaps that is what Norv is referring to w/ being creative...

Lol he might get 10 pass targets the entire season.

I hope he gets more tocues with the ones than in pre-season

I think he will be in more than preseason indicated; Norv has to keep something up his sleeve for the real games. Not only can he run hard, he's a hell of a receiver (i think I've heard check down mentioned once or twice this preseason), and one of the top backfield blockers. He's going to play a huge part in keeping Cam off the turf!

I don’t know if many people know this but Dallas had one of the best defenses in the NFL last year and basically has the same team as before.

 

very underrated defense and also a team that has one of the best running backs in the game. Add a QB that can run as well too that. Any team that can run the ball well and has a decent defense has a great chance to win every week. 

 

Do not sleep on the Cowboys!

Their secondary is arguably as bad as ours.

No, I think they should split time like we did w/ Double Trouble back in the day
