Do The Dallas Cowboys Have a MAJOR Problem at Linebacker?! + Jaishawn Barham Injured | The Stack

Episode 38: In this episode of The Stack, broadcast from the final day of training camp in Oxnard, California, hosts Bryan Broaddus, Zach Wolchuk , and Iisha Morrison offer a detailed assessment of the team's defensive units and potential roster bubble battles. The crew opens with encouraging developments in the secondary, highlighting DaRon Bland’s impressive recovery and return to form, alongside strong performances from Kobe Durant and several depth safeties. However, the mood shifts to concern when examining the linebacker group, where health issues—specifically a lingering groin injury to rookie Jaishawn Barham and missed time for DeMarvion Overshown—leave the position dangerously thin. This depth crisis prompts a lively debate on whether front-office executives Will McClay and Jerry Jones must intervene and sign a veteran free agent, such as Bobby Wagner, to shore up the middle of the defense before week one.   Beyond the linebackers, the panel addresses growing frustration surrounding the safety unit's starting rotation and dives into the heated roster math standardly facing training camps. While the hosts express annoyance over top safeties missing valuable team practice reps, they acknowledge that second-string standouts like Julius Wood are seizing the opportunity to push for a permanent 53-man roster spot. The episode concludes with a spirited discussion on the tight end room, where the hosts passionately reject the idea of carrying four tight ends into the regular season. Pointing out blocking flaws and technique issues among developmental players like Michael Trigg, the team argues that extra roster spots would be far better spent preserving defensive depth than overstocking at tight end.
