The hype of Jaishawn Barham

[Stash]

Barham was a 4 star recruit off ball linebacker out of high school. Started as a true freshman at Maryland. After two years he transferred to Michigan and again played off ball linebacker. It wasn't until last year that he was moved to the outside as a pass rusher.

Barham doing good as a rookie in camp is a good sign, however doesn't mean it translates this year to the real game. Does mean he as a future though. Remember last year Malachi Lawrence in camp kept being reported as unblockable and ended up not getting many sacks in the real game.

I bought into the Malachi Lawrence during last year’s training camp and I swore I’d never do it again.

 

[STELLAR]

So far, from everything I've heard, he looks to be very promising. Now, let's go out and get a proven commodity to add to the LB corps, and we're good to go.

 

[pitt33]

Certainly off to a good start for the young man.

Hope he breaks the Michigan drafted player curse.

 

[fivetwos]

He's the second coming of Purple Drank himself, Rolando McClain.

Ha that guy. Could be a good comp. Ro could really play when he wanted to. If Barham has anything near his ability with a normal brain, we should be in nice shape.

 

[Risen Star]

Certainly off to a good start for the young man.

Hope he breaks the Michigan drafted player curse.

[Acceptablename]

that type of thinking is so foolish

Plus the "pump the brakes" mantra , meaning what, curb your enthusiasm? Why

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

that type of thinking is so foolish

They think fan excitement is gonna stop development. It’s silly.

 

[SlammedZero]

I’m not sure how Malachi Lawrence could have had any reports in camp last year when he was just drafted a couple months ago

That messed with me for a hot second. I was thinking to myself, "Wait, did that much time pass already? Am I in a timeslip?"

 

[Bobhaze]

Good to hear. Hope is always good.

But I’m going to wait until they start actually tackling against real opponents before making bold statements about a rookie 3rd rounder.

I’m not tapping the brakes - it’s just we aren’t even in the car yet.

I know.

1 out of 5?

I understand your point. The Cowboys haven’t been lucky with Michigan players but the rest of the league has done pretty well. Some players doing well within last few years:

• Aidan Hutchison
• Brandon Graham
• Jake Moody
• Blake Corum
• Our own Rashon Gary
• Nico Collins

I know I’m leaving some out.

Of course. I was talking about recently - last few years.

Always tough "endorsing" or favoring a player let alone a rookie during off season/ pre-season.

He's another I've read good things about and hoping it's true.

But...we shall see, when the pads get tested a bit more.

Can you call someone a “beast” who hasn’t played a down of NFL football yet? Asking for a friend.

Yes, did the same with Parsons.

He was a beast in college. There is tape of him smacking OGs at the line of scrimmage to blow up run plays.

 

[HungryLion]

I don’t think the cowboys current defensive system is going to have much of a TRUE MLB. There’s only going to be 3 Lb’s on the field for like 15-20% of the snaps.

The rest of the time there’s gonna be 2 Lb’s on the field. And they’re also going to move down into 5 man fronts fairly often while in nickel as well.

Barham fits the role perfectly. He really does.
