It was evident that Mike Zimmer had the Los Angeles Rams' offense figured out in the preseason opener, and Markquese Bell says the Dallas Cowboys' defense is primed.

The preseason will serve as a key evaluation tool for the Dallas Cowboys as several position battles begin to flesh out who deserves a spot on the team's final roster for 2024.

It wasn't perfect for the Cowboys' third-round pick, but Cooper Beebe's debut was as strong as anybody would have hoped.

When assessing the situation at safety in Dallas, the Cowboys have to be pleased with where things stand heading into 2024, especially as compared to many years past. 

In two years, Markquese Bell has gone from an undrafted free agent to a productive defensive contributor. Now, he could get the chance to have an even bigger role in Mike Zimmer's defense.

With Leighton Vander Esch being done for the season, Markquese Bell is ready to fulfill the linebacker responsibilities that he has excelled with the rest of the season.

Leighton Vander Esch is officially lost for the season, and possibly more, which means the Cowboys have a lot of questions at LB; but ones they've already begun answering

Juanyeh Thomas and Markquese Bell worked through similar circumstances as rookies to earn their way on the field for the Cowboys in 2023, and they've hit the ground running.

It's now clear that Jayron Kearse won't get his wish for No. 0 but, following lots of roster movement and a trade, he'll come very close to it with his new jersey for 2023.

With DeMarvion Overshown lost for the season, an opportunity for a hybrid safety to spin down to the second level is needed, and McCarthy sees it being an answer to thin depth at linebacker.

The loss of DeMarvion Overshown throws a wrench in the Cowboys' defensive plans, but not one that they don't already have an emergency plan for, and his name is Markquese Bell.

Despite DeMarvion Overshown's injury being a big hit to an already thin linebacker room, Stephen Jones said on Tuesday that the deep safety room may be able to help out.

The team will be without an impact safety and a key depth piece for the next few weeks, but Malik Hooker is confident in the abilities of Markquese Bell and other young talent.

The Cowboys haven't always had this much talent and depth at safety, but with three experienced vets and some young playmakers behind them, it's a solid group from top to bottom.

The re-signing of Donovan Wilson proves the Cowboys have changed their outlook on how valuable impact safeties truly are, but it's still important to spark competition this April.

The Cowboys had their eyes on Markquese Bell since last April when he was one of their 30 visits to The Star. Signed as a rookie free agent, Bell waited his turn last year but could be ready for a big jump in 2023.

Donovan Wilson is invaluable in what he provides the Cowboys defense, but as Dallas tries to get a deal done on the pending free agent, they have to keep their eyes open.

Having now signed an extension to remain in Dallas for the foreseeable future, Quinn and the Cowboys front office have built something eye-opening at safety; and in just two seasons.

This game might not count for most of the team, but it was the final chance for many young players to prove themselves. Here are five guys who helped themselves.
