Cowboys news: CeeDee Lamb, DeMarvion Overshown part of key matchups in Week 8
https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/202...rshown-dak-prescott-dalvin-cook-micah-parsons5) CeeDee Lamb vs. Deommodore Lenoir - The criticism around CeeDee Lamb’s performance this season has centered around his lack of efficiency. Where his numbers have taken a steep drop in multiple areas like catch percentage, yards per target, and more. This week, he should see Deommodore Lenoir more than any other cornerback in the San Francisco secondary. A player who has struggled at times throughout his career with allowing the big play but has not done so as much this season. Lamb’s efficiency is down, Lenoirs is up. Should be an interesting battle.
4) Demarvion Overshown vs. George Kittle - Even if Eric Kendricks is available for the Cowboys linebacker room, Demarvion Overshown will be tabbed with doing multiple things for this defense. Sometimes, that’ll be blitzing off the second level and aiding in run support by running downhill. On other occasions, he’ll be asked to drop into coverage and help blanket on of the best tight ends in the game. Kittle made Dallas pay in the redzone with three touchdown grabs last season. Overshown will be a big part of not letting that happen again.
3) Jourdan Lewis vs. Ricky Pearsall - Like the Lamb and Lenoir matchup, Jourdan Lewis and Ricky Pearsall will become very familiar with each other this Sunday. Pearsall will carry the load for this passing game that could be without three or four of their top targets because of injury. He has worked his way back, in miraculous fashion, from a gunshot wound suffered earlier in the season from a robbery attempt and will be needed to show his first-round skillset in a big way this weekend.
