It only took one half for Cowboys fans to see prime Jets-level Quinnen Williams

The NY Jets saw former All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner lead the Indianapolis Colts to an overtime win in his debut with his new team, and they can now turn their attention to Quinnen Williams as he makes his debut with the Dallas Cowboys.

Going up against a Las Vegas Raiders offensive line that has set themselves apart as one of the worst in the league, Williams has been feasting. Cowboys fans hoping the former All-Pro would turn back the clock after being reunited with defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton were not let down by what could only be described as a dominant first half.

On his first four drives as a Cowboys defensive player, Williams managed to record five pressures and 1.5 sacks of Geno Smith. The Raiders' offensive line is as bad as any in the league, and Williams has been taking full advantage of their struggles in this area.

The Raiders doubled Williams on four of his first 13 pass rush snaps in the game, and he's still been able to get home despite the fact Dallas' pass rush room isn't one of the better ones in the NFC. In other words, Williams looks just as good as he did with the Jets.

Due to the way Williams was being used in the Jets' defensive scheme, he was being used more as a run-stuffer than an interior pass rusher. Dallas seems more inclined to turn Williams loose up the middle, which is exactly the threat this defense has been lacking this season.

Even with Kenny Clark putting together a disappointing season, the pairing of Williams and Clark together might be effective enough to change the scope of the Dallas defense. Going against a practice squad Raiders offensive line is certainly helping things out as well.

This trade has the potential to be one of the great win-win deals in recent NFL history. A bad Dallas defense gets a player they have needed in the worst way for multiple seasons, while the Jets may not end up with four 2026 NFL Draft picks in the Top 50 thanks to Dallas' second-round pick.

The Jets have their picks, and Williams will have the chance to play meaningful football in November and December in his prime. This move to the Cowboys might be enough to help Williams get the national media love his play has always warranted.
