.... Leighton Vander Esch ... While he
did miss snaps [last 3 regular season
games in 2022] due to a concerning
neck injury, it was that inactivity when
maybe the Cowboys realized his true
impact.

A statistic back in December ... showed
a troubling downturn in the defensive
success rate for the Cowboys without
their inside 'backer on the field.

With LVE, the Cowboys' defense had a
65% success rate against the run com-
pared to 47.3% without him last season.

.... And for a Cowboys defense that has
struggled to stop the run in years past,
bringing back the ex-Boise State 1st-
round draft pick was a no-brainer, espe-
cially when he took a team-friendly 2-
year $8 million deal.

The Cowboys have their anchor in LVE,
but they don't know who will play along-
side him. ... the Cowboys ... used their
3rd-round pick to draft Texas's DeMar-
vion Overshown in hopes of developing
him into the replacement [for Anthony
Barr].

If Overshown isn't ready yet, that leaves
it to 2nd-year LB Damone Clark & Jabril
Cox, 2021 4th-round draft pick who has
rarely been seen (thus far).
