And, at the end of the day, we ended up with Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark when we couldn\u2019t stop the run so that was pretty good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">\u201cFor us to elevate as far as defensive-wise, I think we\u2019re missing a pass rusher to get to the QB. I felt like that\u2019s what we were missing, but overall as a team and as a unit we could be better to hold up our end of the bargain,\u201d he added. \u201cBut Micah is my man, he knows that. That\u2019s my brother and brotherly love is never lost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cowboys<\/p>\n<p class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-article-cta-social-module__3beff secondaryRoman secondaryRoman-20 text-center text-gray-dark\">Be the smartest Cowboys fan.
