A look at the Cowboys defensive line, who is a sure-thing, and who needs to step up and help?

The NFL is a pass-happy league now, and if you can't pressure the quarterback you better be ready to win a ton of shootouts. The Cowboys have been failing along the defensive line recently, finishing last year with only 31 sacks.
