This year, I&#8217;ve been taking a step forward and stopping the run.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been reading a lot of stuff on Dallas stopping the run, so having the opportunity to come here and help those guys out of that and just help turn this thing around is going to be unbelievable for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>More:<\/strong>\u00a0Quinnen Williams has interesting comments on Cowboys trade<\/p>\n<h2>Can Williams fix horror run defense?<\/h2>\n<p>Well, he won&#8217;t make it worse.<\/p>\n<p>Allowing 143 yards per game on the ground ranks the Cowboys 29th in the NFL, and that has been a long-standing problem over the years. Dallas just gets steamrolled.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, there have been times where the run defense has been good, but against the top teams, the Cowboys get gashed. Williams, along with linebacker Logan Wilson, in theory, should help with that.<\/p>\n<p>With Dallas on its bye week, Williams will get two weeks to learn Matt Eberflus&#8217; defense and fully immerse himself in the playbook so when it comes to taking on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11, he can hit the ground running.<\/p>\n<p>Many have scoffed at the trade, but to fix a defense that has so many holes, you have to start somewhere\u00a0\u2014so why not start with an All-Pro defensive tackle with skins on the wall who is a game wrecker?<\/p>\n<h2>More Cowboys news:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Cowboys get monster injury update on defensive quartet<\/li>\n<li>Brian Schottenheimer gives brutal &#8216;no where close&#8217; message after Cardinals loss<\/li>\n<li>Brian Schottenheimer praises Cowboys for being &#8216;aggressive, but smart&#8217; on trade deadline day<\/li>\n<li>Cowboys have interesting response to Mazi Smith trade<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Williams wants his play to do the talking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":117333,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-117330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
