The Cowboys saw major improvements from OLB Anthony Spencer and CB Mike Jenkins in their third and second seasons, respectively, last year. And NT Jay Ratliff told Pro Football Weekly he thinks DE Stephen Bowen could be the next player to break out. "One thing about Stephen is he's a great rusher," Ratliff said. "But he's strong at the point of attack against the run, too, and you don't get to see that a lot because he has played a lot in the nickel (package). But Bowen is an all-around athlete and there's nothing he can't do, across the board, as a three-down (player). He's just a real talent. He's young, but he definitely has a big upside. Every year he gets better and better, so there's no doubt in my mind that this could be a breakout year for him." Source: Pro Football Weekly
If Rat say's he is a 3 down guy, then I guess Ive never seen him have to anchor. 35 hurries for a 3-4 DE is impressive, but on gameday he is too 1 dimensional for us fans to epxect more
