While Liufau is busy being Overshown, who is going to fill that void and become the next Liufau?

The best scenario would have been to have them both to open the 2025 season.

If the Cowboys can only fill voids left by injured players then how can they improve? They must now find another LB of at least equal talent by dedicating resources they could have used for additional talent elsewhere just to get back to where they were before.

It’s ironic guys like Buddy Johnson and Damone Clark should see action last 4 games . This is all about who do you want to go to camp next year what’s your draft strategy .

Before this terrible injury I thought the Cowboys should go LB round 2 after DT round one . It’s critical to add a starting LB to next yrs mix in the off-season .

Liufau is a very very good player, he plays behind Kendricks, when we have Overshown and Liufau and whomever else we get as starters it will be oof the chain, if Kendricks was not here Liufau would be starting

Overshown probably won’t see the field until 26 and it’s questionable if Kendrick’s is back . The LB room needs Draft & FA help

With our needs on the DL RB and WR we need FA signings. Now LB is one as well.
Overshown will not be back next year; and frankly he might never be the same again. So counting on him is a bad idea.
We do not know how much Kendricks has left so counting on him next season is not advisable. SO we need TWO good starter quality players right now. Even if they have Parsons more at LB.
BUT I just know BIg and LIttle Enos will be off on the yacht again for most of FA and then dumpster dive like they do every year

Zack Baun Eagles is a FA in 2025 . Jerry needs to go after him . A mock draft had Campbell of Bama and Stutsman from OK going to Dallas , those three plus Liufau would be great .

He can't hold Overshowns jock strap.
HE is not that bad at all. He is young a a big problem at Notre Dame was they kept moving him around; never letting him settle in one position. So he needs more development time.

Get Zack Baun FA Eagles plus draft 2 LB’s in April add to Liufau . I wasn’t crazy about a Kendrick’s return but you really could use him in 2025 under these circumstances .

Can't wait to see this young buck get more reps and get better these last few games.


i'm glad to see the guys getting more reps as well but he is not Overshown...he may be able to fill the void...maybe he can flash BUT he does not have that natural speed, cut and instinct as DO..

I hope he does show as his increased reps.

simple his snaps increased a lot, well as say he moved to more OLB weakside type more , but as he spelled Kendricks, he will not now maybe Vigil does that.. might like to see Buddy? weve lost so many DE, Lbers and DBS, i cant remember who might still be available.. Attrition much like 2020 is hard to overcome..

At least we know he's smart.

Play back the botched punt and you can see Liufau running down the field waving his arms for people to get away from the ball.
..ahh, .. interesting. I didnt catch that.

Liufau will be good in his own right, but there is only one Overshown. A shame that Overshown is now lost. Possibly for good.
Oh calm down. Players regular come back from this sort of injury and the report from the surgery was that there were no complications like nerve damage

Liufau needs to step up and show he was worth that 3rd round pick.

I wanted DAL to draft Tyrice Knight (LB-UTEP)

Picked by SEA in the 4th, Knight just earned the Rookie of the Week honor.

DAL needs that from Liufau
