This new development has Cowboys Fans FIRED UP...

This new update has Cowboys fans fired up as we have a shocking reveal on a brand new roster change with depth chart updates and a lot of new things coming on the defense against the Green Bay Packers. Plus, Brian Schottenheimer and company reveal a major role in coming for a huge rookie. We talk about all of this here today on Cowboys Digest and break down whether or not the hoopla over the new depth chart is warranted or not. Welcome to Cowboys Digest, everybody. I'm Jay Sanderson.

Lots of stuff to get into, but before that, make sure you hit that subscribe button for daily coverage of the Dallas Cowboys, and it's 100% free to do so. We got a stream coming this Sunday, and I'm super excited about it. Let's get into the news, though, and we start with this. The Cowboys have revealed a new surprising depth chart ahead of their game versus the Packers, and it's kind of intriguing to see. So let's pop up the screenshot of this depth chart and take a look at some interesting things. The first thing is DeMarvion Overshawn is the starting linebacker. Dee Winters is the starting linebacker over Jay Sean Barham. Again, we don't know exactly how Overshawn is going to be cleared to play this weekend, but should he be cleared, he will be out there. Porter obviously now added to this one. Deron Bland, still a starting cornerback on this roster with Caleb Downs, with Joey Porter. I don't know how Kobe Durant is not the starter over that. That's one thing to know. But also something that is not really shown on here, but is something that needs to be talked about is Malachi Lawrence because he's still second string, but it's expected for him to have a big role in this upcoming week and in this upcoming day. Now, we know the Cowboys are in a spot where we can look at, you know, what we can see. And I'm excited to kind of look at what Malachi Lawrence, especially, you know, a rookie can do for this team in week number six.

So this depth chart being put out there is definitely something that was warranted. But at the same time, you're in a good position in the NFC East. You're really only a game back of the New York Giants in some ways. I know that it looks a little harder with the Ming-3 1-1, and you would have hoped that it could be all a 3-2 record for them and a 2-3 record for the Washington Commanders, but it is what it is. You're about a game and a half in theory if you really want to go to it. But now you have to go in here, and you've got to face against a pretty decent Packers team. They've looked pretty solid over the past couple of weeks. I still believe they are not as good as what meets the eye. there's going to be no Micah Parsons and it's a big time because you have the Eagles right after them on Monday night the next week now all this to be said I want to bring up Malachi Lawrence again because he is going to get a bigger opportunity and more snaps coming for him as Brian Schottenheimer and Christian Parker have both agreed that we are going to see more of him in these coming weeks and coming days here's what Shotty said about him saying quote he's played very well I think he's starting to show the flash and the acceleration and the ability to rush the passer that we knew we were getting when we drafted him i think he had a very good game against Tampa Bay and you'll see him get more opportunities okay so more opportunities in coming he has one sack and 12 tackles in this season and he's continuing to get praise across the board and i'm excited to kind of see what we can get out of him i think that it hasn't really been documented enough how good he has actually been when he's you know given the opportunity and so that's something that he's finally going to get a full slate of snaps here in week number six he had 27 against Tampa Bay with his first career sack three pressures and one pass defended so I think that's a really really big thing and like I said on the depth chart it's not something that is easily seen but being in that secondary slot it's kind of interesting that we see him in that outside linebacker position on long side or alongside Donovan Azuraku given what we've seen in the effort from Rashawn Gary I wouldn't You'd be shocked if, you know, we see Malachi and Donovan Azuraku, you know, out there sometimes. I think it's something that is very much a possibility because, again, Rashawn's good, but he's not going to put forth the effort that you need to, you know, get the sacks. Then what's the point of having him out there? That's where we go to another report here from Malachi Lawrence saying he's first in line to get more snaps. I like what he said about it, too, when he was asked about kind of, you know, in line and how the first round pick was getting into a good spot. Obviously, there's a bunch of personnel changes this week for the Dallas Cowboys defense. Here's what he had the quote on saying. I think it's a sign that I've been developing pretty good. Just growing every day, getting 1% better every day. Even though it sounds cliche, it's been true. I'm just taking advantage of my opportunities when they are giving. And he's got an opportunity to do something on the edge for the Dallas Cowboys. Again, I know that Ezraku has played pretty solid this year. Arguably been one of the better defensive players on the Cowboys defense for Christian Parker, but I still have yet to see Rashawn Gary be the guy that we wanted to trade for the guy that we expected when we traded for him from the Green Bay Packers. So all that to be said, this defensive line should be better. And if it means Malachi Lawrence getting more outside linebacker snaps, edge rushing snaps, then you got to feel pretty confident that he can go out there and perform to a pretty, pretty good level. So again, time will tell in terms of what we can see out of this but i i do think that in a lot of ways this is a huge thing and i want to go to a comment real quick just because i like putting up some more comments in here but i'm going to highlight this one from gerald stone saying is it me or does it seem we bring in good players and when they play for the cowboys their level of play drops dramatically i'm not sure what the problem is but appears to be the D-line in addition looks like last year's D-line shredded cheese each each week so i don't hold my breath that any of these awesome players can come and excel it rarely happens you got a good point i mean Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark, Rashawn Gary they're all not playing to what we think they should be and uh you know who knows now the veteran pass rusher uh is something that is going to be intriguing because Rashawn Gary for a long time really never faced competition sometimes i mean you think about him and you know Green Bay i guess when you had uh the i guess last year he was there with um with the rest of the edge rushers they had on that side and you know now this time he's got Azuraku alongside him he's got Malachi Lawrence And so I think when you look at Micah Parsons and him last year and the kind of output that they were able to do, it's a little intriguing to see that. But the pass rush is something you've got to fix, right? It's very much a problem. Five sacks in five games. With the defensive line you have, Obonia has been the best defensive lineman you have. That's not what should happen. Otito, Obonia should not be your best defensive lineman. Yeah, obviously Lawrence has more chances. I don't think the Packers' offensive line is all that. This should be a game where you get to the quarterback, where you force Jordan Love to go out there and be in a good spot. And, you know, if not, maybe you're putting in Von Miller more out there. Maybe you see him get some opportunities in the outside linebacker spot. I mean, he's ultimately like a coach, it seems like. But there's got to be something to do here with the Cowboys to fix what has been going on. And again, Green Bay will be the option to test what we have. And it's an urgent time. I think we know that. I think that Brian Schottenheimer knows it. And it's going to be something that is a fluid thing. But for the first time, it felt like this week when Schottenheimer spoke to the media and when Christian Parker spoke to the media, it felt like their jobs were actually on the line. It felt like they felt like this was a win-now type week. And here's what Schottenheimer said about Parker and kind of the accountability, saying Christian Parker's our DC and everything, all decisions will run through him. We're supporting him. I support him. I believe strongly in the guy. I do. I think the guy's an incredible football coach. We have to coach better. We got to play better. I think our players will be the first ones to say that there's things that they need to do better. There's things I need to do better. And so no one is sitting here pointing the fingers at Christian Parker. Maybe they're not pointing the fingers at Christian Parker, but it's definitely not where I expected for the Cowboys to be. If you'd have told me that the Giants were leading the division at 3-1-1, I would have told you you're insane. The Cowboys are right there with them. But instead, they're not. They're not. You flip the game versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, you're in first place right now. All you have to do, win one dang game. And it's not like this season has been a whole problematic thing, And yet you win one game, your first, in the NFC East. And Jalen Hurts, you know, prayers to him. Hope he feels better with his, you know, blood clots, it seems. But he's not going to be out there for a while. So now the Eagles are in a tough spot as well. But you still have to go out there and win. In terms of Christian Parker and the DC, moving up to the press box. Nothing has been finalized yet, as we found out today from Nick Harris and from Brian Schottenheimer specifically, kind of saying it. But I think Parker should move. I really do. And here's a comment from Busch Garden fans, a guy who's always on our stream, saying Cringe Parker, he's moving to the booth finally, according to Mike Leslie. Now it seems like it's not. Now he seems like he's going to freaking coach on the freaking sideline again. So it's a frustrating thing. I would wish they would just stick to something, and they don't. But let me know what you think about Malachi Lawrence in the comments section. Do you think he should get more snaps? A, give him major snaps. Do you think you should increase it gradually, or do you think you should keep the veteran rotation of Rashawn Gary, Von Miller, Ezekiel, and then Lawrence gets like 25 snaps? Let me know in the comments section of today's show. We'll keep you updated with all we know, and we appreciate you watching. For now though, guys, peace out.
