Cowboys Mailbag: Cowboys Second To Last In Turnovers?

Rob: I think it's just a matter of getting enough pressure, being aggressive and getting in the right position to make those types of plays. This defense is certainly capable; last year after four games the Cowboys had 11 takeaways (9 interceptions, 2 fumble recoveries) that led to seven scores. Here's what Wade Phillips said on Monday:
"They usually come in bunches but we just haven't had them. We started off really well last year, but it hasn't happened yet. But I think it will come. We have too many talented guys that have ball skills."

Mailbag: How will defense contain Mahomes? 

I'm loving this five-man front the Cowboys are utilizing. They stopped the Eagles run game and shut down Jalen Hurts, a quarterback who has been criticized for not being aggressive enough. But there's definitely no such criticism about the Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes, who is mobile and will sling it around with the best of them. Do you see the Cowboys doing anything different defensively to contain him?
