Cowboys Defense: “Star” Needed in the Middle

If there was one thing clear about the 2017 Dallas Cowboys, it’s that there was a glaring hole in the middle of their defensive line. Good against the run in some games, they got downright gashed in others, and overall left many in Cowboys Nation feeling like the team needs to upgrade in the middle of the …
