Overshown should not start anymore

[Kevinicus]

Barham needs to be starting. He may have a lot to learn, but he seems to be the only LB with instincts and toughness.

 

[DanTanna]

His natural position is HEB.

 

[Risen Star]

It was such a weird choice to make him the primary green dot. He'd be the last guy I'd pick. You have to treat him like if you get anything out of him at all it's a bonus.

I’m over this guy.

He played poorly when he did play

He also made a bad decision and a cheap shot out of bounds hit.

And then he got hurt once again.

Time to move on.

Brother I disagree with only with only one thing. Seeing it live I too thought it was totally late. But after watching the replay I think it was a bad call. The player's left went out and then DMO hit him before the other foot hit the turf. Maybe it wasn't a bad call but definitely a ticky-tacky one.

He isn’t heavy enough for his height to play MLB, his pad level is too high and he’s too light, that’s how Skataboo trucked him. You can be 5’11 and 230 or you can be 6’3 and 250 but you can’t be 6’3 230 and play MLB

Agreed. Collinsworth acted like he was already on the bench, but the contact and the foot touching out were almost simultaneous.

Don't bench Overshown because of one bad game. But don't give him an automatic starting job because he's Overshown, either. Make him earn the snaps based on what Parker needs that week.

The key for Overshown is what you're asking him to do. Overshown is at his best when Dallas lets him play fast. Attack downhill, blitz, chase the QB, cover space with his athleticism. But against the Giants, the Cowboys needed linebackers who could consistently diagnose the underneath game and get to the perimeter. New York repeatedly created problems there.

Expect he wasnt good at covering in space. Basically all he was really good at was blitzing
