Matt Eberflus Singles Out Cowboys Defender That He Must Play More​

https://sportdfw.com/matt-eberflus-singles-out-cowboys-defender-that-he-must-play-more-01k6jzktpv29

Veteran pass rusher James Houston flashed a few times last Sunday night. It seems as though Houston's flashes didn't only catch the eyes of Cowboys fans, but coaches, too.​
​
On Thursday, defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus praised Houston. Eberflus said, “We probably should give him more,” according to ESPN's Todd Archer.​

Something many have been saying since preseason, Eberflus finally realizes ...
 
I think he definitely deserves more snaps, but I’m curious if it will have the Dante Fowler affect where you get diminishing returns the more he sees the field.
I think that's exactly what's gonna happen the more snaps the more exposed he'd get. But at the same time I say ****. Might as well. It's not like no one behind him or in front of him is doing better.

Your concerns are definitely valid as the Cowboys have had a lot of flashy players over the years lose that flash the moment they started getting more playing time.

I think at this point though you give him a chance and see what happens.

If he disappears the more he plays, then you know what you have with him at least.

Houston heard a Who!

All I can go off of is seeing him make plays damn near anytime hes on the field. I think the guys a special talent, but it may be he needs to be kept fresh.

Man, he is sharp. Maybe by mid-season he will play some man coverage and actually try to sack the qb.

I guess we don't know until that happens, but with the limited sample size he definitely deserves more.

Well, Fowler hasn't looked good from the start this year no matter how many snaps he's received. Houston has actually looked good in the few snaps he's gotten.

Fowler has been a disappointment so far. I expected him to be a liability against the run because he always has been, but he's not providing much as a pass rush. I'd rather see EZ and Houston.
