Talkin’ Cowboys: Red Light on the Green Dot

About this episode

The hosts discuss impressions from Rookie Minicamp and the Cowboys' linebacker situation.

Kyle Youmans, Patrik Walker, and Josh Rodriguez react to Rookie Minicamp, including early impressions of Jaishawn Barham at MIKE linebacker and what the “green dot” decision could look like moving forward. The crew also discuss coaching takeaways from Brian Schottenheimer and Christian Parker, and whether the linebacker room is truly ready — plus identifying the Cowboys’ second-biggest roster need.
