Cowboys OLB Victor Butler has continued to impress and almost certainly will have an expanded role this season. He was used sparingly as a nickel rusher as a rookie and flashed early but faded a little bit down the stretch with more reps. The thinking is that Butler is much better-prepared to handle a bigger role now, giving a breather to either Anthony Spencer or DeMarcus Ware, as a pass-rush specialist. Source: Pro Football Weekly
