This leaves corner perhaps the biggest question heading into training camp. Reggie Robinson will most likely back-up Awuzie with Canady now out for the season. If Diggs or Worley beat out Brown, then Brown will move to nickle corner and push Lewis to fifth corner. The sleeper of the group will be Daryl Worley and could step in on the outside should Brown and Diggs not be the guy. That means Jourdan Lewis will be the fourth corner. I think they will try Anthony Brown and Trevon Diggs on the opposite side of the field to start. We all know Chidobe Awuzie is one of your two starting outside corners.

They could give some playing time to Donovan Wilson, Darian Thompson and Luther Kirk, but Woods and HaHa should be your best two safeties of the group.
Xavier Woods and HaHa Clinton-Dix are your two starting safeties right away. The safeties are pretty predictable right away as well. The Cowboys have some decent depth if everyone is reinstated and healthy, then include the rookies should be okay. If Randy Gregory is reinstated and Aldon Smith looks remotely like he did before he left football, then one of the two of them could push Crawford by the end of camp. The front four will probably start off with Demarcus Lawrence, Dontari Poe, Gerald McCoy, and Tyrone Crawford. Justin March and Joe Thomas are probably your two depth guys, but I don’t see either of them pushing the top three.ĭefensive line is fairly predictable as well if we are looking at it genuinely. The depth behind them is probably up for debate. Sean Lee, Jaylon Smith, and Leighton Vander Esch are pretty well entrenched. What we do know is that the starting linebackers are pretty much set baring any health issues. Injuries, COVID, etc, can all change things quickly. This is just how I see the Cowboys starting defense through training camp. Keep in mind this is for training camp and perhaps the first game, but could change by the end of the season. That makes predicting what the starting group will look like difficult, but interesting. A new coaching staff with a new scheme will likely change some things up and allow players to play to different strengths.
With the Dallas Cowboys about to start training camp, the defensive starters will be something most people will watch with anticipation. With the Dallas Cowboys training camp about to get under way, the starting defense could look predictable at some positions, and different in others.
