So, Barham, the third-round rookie from Michigan, has been outstanding

He leaves camp today a- and to great concern
I know if you’re sitting there in Chihuahua, Mexico, you’re going, “Oh, no.”
It turns out it’s a groin
Cowboys don’t think it’s too serious
Are we getting a little too caught up like we so often do as, oh, it’s, it’s just, it’s, it’s everything’s beautiful with the Cowboys, and Barham is gonna be the next stud?
‘Cause the Cowboys at this early stage, Mauricio, they, they’re believers in what he’s doing
I will say we’re not getting caught up, and the biggest reason why, to me, Fish, is it feels like there’s a very clear defensive package where the Cowboys just visualize Daeshun Barham being the guy

Now, I, I don’t think he’s gonna be starting at edge rusher or inside linebacker full time, but whenever the Cowboys wanna go into that defensive package, that defensive look, where you’ve got one of the inside linebackers walking down to the line of scrimmage, they It just feels like they want him to be that guy
So I’m, I’m buying all of the Daeshun Barham stock
Yeah, you’re onto something in terms of what his role might be
And you know, he might I mean, eventually you’d like him to be a starter
But he can do things as an inside linebacker that Dee Winters can’t do

Dee Winters can run to the ball and make tackles, but he can’t walk up to the line of scrimmage and, and rush the passer
And then, and they knew that Barham could do that, ’cause he did it in college
Now they’re discovering that he can drop into coverage and do some things there
So this is a multipurpose guy, and, and he’s certainly got some dog about him, too
So thumbs up on him
Hopefully, he’ll maybe miss a couple days at the most with the groin
