Matt Mosley, co-host of The Afternoon Show with Cowlishaw and Mosley weekdays from 3 to 6 p.m. on KESN-FM 103.3, ESPN Radio, answered questions in a live chat Friday. Here are some highlights:

Question: Who is the most important player on the defensive side of the ball right now for the Cowboys?

Mosley: I think Sean Lee is the most important player on the defense. If he can stay healthy, he gives you at least one elite type player. And I would have Orlando Scandrick right there with him. He's a fearless guy who gives the defense somewhat of an identity. May be the most respected guy on that side of the ball.

Question: Do you think the Cowboys not parting ways with Rolando McClain sends a bad message to the team that could come back and bite Jason Garrett?

Mosley: I think Jerry Jones has made it clear it's not as simple as just parting ways. The players probably realize it's highly unlikely he joins them on the field again. That's all that really matters.

Question: Do you think the Cowboys have enough on their squad right now to generate enough of a pass rush to win games?

Mosley: No, I think it's pretty clear they need some help. But this is where you lean heavily on Rod Marinelli. There will be a rally cry to do it like you did it 2014 with a bunch of nondescript folks up front. Tyrone Crawford needs to be really good and live up to his contract. The rush needs to come from the middle. Other teams do it that way. You might need to bring an extra player at times. I think Scandrick's really good at that.
