The Dallas Cowboys just got a glimpse of life with their new star.
DT Quinnen Williams had a debut for the ages, and while the Las Vegas Raiders don't have the best offensive line by any means, it was still an encouraging sign. Per PFF, the former New York Jet finished the game with seven pressures, 1.5 sacks and a 21.4 percent pass rush win rate. However, as good as he was, he knew it was going to take much more than just him to turn the Cowboys' season around.
Following the win, Williams put his teammates on notice by stating that it would take a collective effort to take care of business.
"I don't think one guy could change anything," Williams said, per the Cowboys' website. "I think the team itself, the guys around you, all eleven on the field, the coaching staff, in general, makes the difference. One man don't [change] nothing. This is not golf. It's not tennis. Everybody on his team has to do the job. Everybody in this organization has to do a job to the best of their ability to win games."
The Cowboys added Williams to the mix to fix their perennial woes against the run. They held the Raiders to just 27 rushing yards, and while that might not be sustainable, it was certainly an encouraging sign. Brian Schottenheimer's team is now 4-5-1 for the season and can still make a late-season push for the playoffs, so long as everybody else also steps up like their new star.
