If you asked someone who has never watched a down of football in their lives what the Cowboys need to improve on, I am almost certain they would scream “PASS RUSH.”
Well, the Cowboys are trying to do so, and have signed former Texas A&M stud defensive end Damontre Moore.
Add another to the list of Cowboys deals: defensive end Damontre Moore, a former third-round pick, has agreed to… https://t.co/4szgZInq32

Moore, who was once first team All-SEC and considered a first/second round pick, has had a disappointing NFL career riddled with injuries and some off the field troubles. Needing some defensive end depth/help, the Cowboys are giving Moore another chance to get it right. Dallas worked out Moore last summer, but did not sign him.
The odds are, this signing will amount to nothing. Damontre Moore hasn’t given anyone anything yet professionally, and it’s a long shot he will do so now. If he can put it all together, though, he has the athleticism to bring a high upside to the Cowboys defensive line.
Since his rookie year with the New York Giants in 2013, Damontre Moore has just 10 sacks and 77 tackles. Hopefully, he can improve on those numbers in 2017 for the Cowboys.
Some shade on the Demarcus Ware rumors perhaps. If Dallas can’t get better at RDE, I think Lawrence is moving back over there for 2017. I don’t know enough about Jaylon Smith’s game yet, but assume that if he’s fully recovered you’d use him a lot in the blitz packages. That could help the rush situation.
If moore, had his head on straight, this could be the steal of this years free agency. Moore has the upside, it’s just a matter, has the light bulb came on yet.
I think the real question isn’t the light bulb, but the maturity. It’s his immaturity that’s been his downfall.
