Dallas Cowboys rookie LB Jaishawn Barham is taking over as the LEADER of the Cowboys defense after the injury to DeMarvion Overshown! Barham will start at MIKE linebacker and wear the GREEN DOT for the Cowboys, giving him the responsibility of communicating Christian Parker’s defensive calls. But did Dallas make the RIGHT choice — or should rookie star Caleb Downs have been given that responsibility? Jace Andrews breaks down the latest Cowboys news and rumors. DeMarvion Overshown’s hamstring injury leaves a major hole in the Cowboys defense, and Brian Schottenheimer has officially turned to Jaishawn Barham. The rookie linebacker will have a massive responsibility as Dallas looks to improve its defensive communication and execution. But is Barham ready for that role? We discuss the decision to give Jaishawn Barham the green dot and whether Caleb Downs could have been another option to become one of the leaders of the Cowboys defense. Downs has already shown his versatility and football IQ early in his NFL career, so should Christian Parker and the Cowboys consider giving him an even bigger role? PLUS: There are MAJOR FIELD CONDITION CONCERNS ahead of Cowboys vs. Ravens in Week 3! The Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens are scheduled to play at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but recent criticism surrounding the condition of the grass has created questions about player safety ahead of the NFL’s first game in Rio. Could the NFL have a problem on its hands before Cowboys vs. Ravens? We discuss the concerns surrounding the Maracanã Stadium field, what soccer players have said about the playing surface and why the NFL will be closely monitoring the situation before Dak Prescott, Lamar Jackson and two of the league’s biggest teams take the field in Brazil.--- Cowboys Digest is a YouTube Channel that covers all the latest news, trades, reports, and rumors regarding the Dallas Cowboys.
