Kenneth Murray to wear green dot over Sanborn?

I thought somebody had said Sanborn was the most instinctually gifted LB of the whole LB room and it was a given that he'd play middle with the dot? Along with his past Eberflus connection...
 
This team has been clearly awful vs the run for going on a decade now and they continue to do everything to fix it except whats actually necessary.

Mazi is probably a bust and they refuse to accept that. Even if he isn’t, they aren’t deep enough there by any reach. But Jerry is like….I gave a big contract and used a first rounder…I want my ROI.

Then it’s tears and shock in January.

Murray will eventually learn this up front and close when a guard has a head of steam headed right at him because no one up front is worth a crap vs the run.

Honestly what good is having six pass rushers when the other team doesnt have to pass because they have a lead and can run it at will?
I've had these exact same discussions here.
It's like, why do the better running teams need to pass against Dallas when they don't even have to?

And here we are.
AGAIN.
And a bunch of passrushers who still can't stop the run are pissed again too.
LOL

Cowboys!
 
He graded out in the middle of the pack in coverage and one of the worst in the NFL against the run. 185 out 189 LB's again the run
Damn!!! Say it ain't so, with Simmons n Sweat in front of Murray things should be a little easier. Fast forward to the present, I find it irresponsible to make a claim about stopping the run when Dallas struggled and you yourself was trash last season.

On topic, Kenneth Murray is the highest paid, highest pedigree, and is the most depended on to solid. Sounds like Sanborn will leave the field in passing situations if this structure holds up. However, it's OTAs and Sanborn could be green dot by TC, also if San Man n Murray are the two LBs on the field at all times it won't really matter.
 
Ah, I've only watched some of his plays. He has the ability to play the run. I've seen examples. Great athlete, but he's been a marginal player thus far.

RAS is 9.88.
On the film I watched , Murray looked like he was good at diagnosing where the ball was going on run plays .Murray simply ran right into the opponents back field and tackled the ball carrier for a loss.The guy looks super athletic he has tremendous straight line speed. If Dallas can get some good play from the nose tackle position,I look for Murray to have some tackles behind the line of scrimmage this season.
 
There are only one or two decent LBs available in free agency. Kyzir White being the best.

I’d be surprised if the Cowboys make a move though. As we can see, they are high on both Murray and Sanborn so, without a really good option, I imagine they let it play out.
This^^^ I'm thinking Sanborn gets the edge.
 
I mean there’s a lot of unknowns but a lot of potential.
Sanborn
Stewart
Murray
Liufau
Clark
Buddy Jounson

I imagine with all of our pass rushers Micah will be apart of this group to.

Johnson Clark & Stewart get you 7-10 and run over . Now Barron the UDFA he probably has a shot at ST and depth at LB .
 
I've heard people here say they feel really good about the LB room and I can't, for the life of me, understand why. Liufau looks like he could be a good player and I really like what I saw from Overshown but he's out at least half the season presumably. Outside of that? Sanborn because he knows the system? This guy?
It's called having a positive attitude and not throwing in the towel before the fight starts. Some like to be negative and whine about things they can't change....fans being fans.....takes all kinds
