The Dallas Cowboys made a bold move last year. They traded away Micah Parsons to Green Bay. It shocked the fan base. But owner Jerry Jones says it was the only way to fix the team. He believes the defense needed a total overhaul. The plan is working so far.
Jones explains the big move
Jones called Parsons a “great player” during a recent talk. He said the star’s talent made the deal possible. Without that value, the trade never happens. According to reports, Jones stated the deal worked because of Parsons’ ability. The owner noted the team revamped the entire unit. He wants pressure from the middle. That is not an accident. That is the new plan. The front office wanted to change the attitude. They need stronger run defense inside. The focus is on the middle of the field.
Rookies get a look soon
The preseason is here. Fans want to see the new starters play. Two first-round picks are ready for action. Caleb Downs and Malachi Lawrence will see the field. Per reports.com’s Josh Sanchez, Tommy Yarrish reports both could get “a little bit” of run. The team wants to test them early. Both players have been impressive in camp. They are expected to help this season. The coaching staff expects them to play a little bit. The first preseason game is coming up fast. It will show if the rookies can handle the NFL speed.
Undrafted star shines bright
Not all the news is about the big names. A small guy is making waves too. Camden Brown is an undrafted free agent from Georgia Southern. He is playing like a starter in camp. He earned snaps with the first-team offense. He even caught a pass from Dak Prescott. This is a big deal for a rookie. He might win the fifth wide receiver spot. The team is cutting down to 53 players soon. Brown is rising fast. He shows the depth the team needs.
The defense looks different now. Jerry Jones says the interior rush is the key. He feels good about the direction. The owner praised the new level of competition. He noted that the team is getting better. I believe Guyton is performing at the competitive level we anticipated for him. That’s a plus. That’s a plus, he said. The plan is clear. Get pressure from the inside. Stop the run. Let the young guys grow. The Cowboys are ready to fight.
