    Before the season started, it seemed like the Dallas Cowboys lost another member of
    their defense with every passing minute, putting them on pace to be one of the worst in NFL
    history.
    Instead, they have the 12th rated
    defense by the game charters at Pro Football
    Focus heading into Week 7 and are at the top
    of the NFC East with the Eagles with a 5-1
    record. The reason is linebacker Justin Du-
    rant.
    Durant, a second-round draft pick in
    2007, signed with the Cowboys in 2013 but
    groin and hamstring injuries limited him to
    just six starts in 10 games. This season, he
    has again been hampered by injury (he missed
    two games) but is leading Dallas in tackles (19
    solo and 12 assists) while becoming the teams
    No. 1 run stopper. His 12 stops against the
    run are tied for best on the team with inside
    linebacker Rolando McClain and tied for sev-
    enth most overall among linebackers playing in a 4-3 scheme.

    Much has been made about the addition of middle linebacker Rolando McClain. But the
    glue of the Cowboys linebacker corps this season has been Justin Durant.
    Dallas starting weak-side linebacker played all 63 defensive snaps Sunday against the
    Giants and showed up all over the feld. He had a team-high tying eight tackles. But the way he
    played in the fourth quarter helped put the Giants away.
    Hes a terrifc linebacker. Everybody is seeing it right now, Cowboys defensive coordina-
    tor Rod Marinelli said. He is our captain. Hes a heck of a ball player. Hes aware, heady, fts our
    system to a T.
    Durant was involved in both of the Cowboys fourth-quarter fumble recoveries. Durant
    recovered a fumble by Giants tight end Larry Donnell early in the fourth quarter that led to
    a touchdown. Durant then forced a Donnell fumble in the fnal minute that was recovered by
    Henry Melton to seal the victory.
    Oh man, hes playing remarkable, Cowboys safety Barry Church said of Durant. Hes
    everywhere. I didnt know he was that fast but hes all over the place.
    And after the Cowboys moved to 6-1 on Sunday, Durant showed some leadership.
    We had a bad game, Durant said. We didnt play our game. I felt like we gave up a lot of
    stuff. A couple of those plays were defnitely on me. I have to clean up what Im doing and get
    my eyes right. We have a lot of stuff to get better at.
