DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - Dallas Cowboys COO Stephen Jones joined the GBAG Nation to discuss the depth of the defensive line heading into this weekend's game vs the Chargers, plus much more.
Here were some of the highlights:
On what they've seen from Chauncey Golston in practice this week and his availability for Sunday:
“We’re getting really excited about him in terms of what he can bring to the table, not unlike we thought he could when we drafted him in the third round. I know (Cowboys defensive coordinator) Dan Quinn is getting fired up about using him. ... He’s certainly come a long way in a short period of time. He hadn't played football since college because we weren't able to get him in pads during camp (hamstring injury). He’s making big strides and we think he’s gonna make some huge contributions for us pretty early.”
Can Micah Parsons be a solution at defensive end with DeMarcus Lawrence's injury and Randy Gregory landing on the Reserve/COVID list?
"I think he can certainly help in those areas. At the same time, we've got good edge rushers. We mentioned Golston. (Dorance) Armstrong's going to get his chance now to step up and make some plays. Obviously, we signed (Tarell) Basham knowing he was going to help us with the edge rush. Some other guys are going to get opportunities as well. But I think we're going to do this as a group."
