Dallas Cowboys linebackers drew heavy fan ire after Week 1 as Liufau, who shined in the preseason, played only six defensive snaps but graded as the unit’s top performer on those plays. Meanwhile, Kenneth Murray handled every snap but posted a notably low grade, fueling questions about the staff’s snap distribution.

With Overshown out early and veterans struggling, Sanborn and Clark still logged 40+ reps while Liufau sat. The discord over usage underscores a broader: can the Cowboys unlock a potentially explosive LB corps by cadence shifts, Liufau’s development, and Overshown’s return?
