What is so special about Osa Odighizuwa?

[DallasDW00ds0n]

I don’t see it. I barely notice the guy is even playing every week but I haven’t seen one play where he makes a significant contribution.

This FO has always hyped this guy but he’s a part of the problem that’s been plaguing this franchise for the past decade on defense.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I 100% get what you are saying.

But he has a lot of company on that defense with nothing special.

 

[AyeAtey]

He should be a DE.

 

[HungryLion]

That’s the neat thing. There’s nothing special about him. He is a below average run defender and ok pass rusher.

Yet the cowboys FO decided to overpay him.

 

[Captain-Crash]

a name that nobody can spell or pronounce, other than that, nothing. shrugs.......

 

[Tabascocat]

Someone who has been exposed with no Micah next to him.

His contract is special.

 

[kumizi]

Osa and Kenny Clark are average starters. Not the problem but they're not gonna carry a defensive unit.

 

[Coogiguy03]

He should be a DE.

On another team

Because he was one of theirs that makes a few stops on the run

I mean I don’t know. I’m not gonna even blow smoke. I just haven’t seen it this year. He’s never been a guy to wow you with stats but now I just don’t see it.

 

[RS12]

Not a thing. 20 million a year contracts are for difference makers. He isn't. Disappears around this time annually like clock work. Carolina was on their third string guard today as well. And I don't care if he got the going rate. Let some other team have him

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

JAG

 

[atlantacowboy]

Osa has been the anchor of some bad run defenses, and nothing has changed. He's basically an average NFL DT that Jerry overpaid bc we prefer players we know to those we don't know. Kenny Clark has been disappointing. I really thought he would shore up the run defense. I don't see him on the 2026 cowboys.

The defense needs a complete overhaul.

Ha!

Nothing but his position.

Osa is a nice rotational type. It's actually blatantly obvious. It's the fans who can't/refuse to evaluate players that don't see it. They don't listen to anyone, or they'd already know.

 

[3rdEyewarrior]

Play him at d end and start tioa.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

We may be the only team in the league that starts JAGs at literally every defensive position.

If I wanted to, I could name at least one special player on every other defense in the league.

Had a ton of convos this season about him. Overrated by fans.
