How are you feeling about the Cowboys rookie class right now?
It’s back-to-back wins for the Dallas Cowboys, and they took out a divisional rival on Thanksgiving for the second year in a row. There was a lot on the line for Dallas that needed their first home win and they got it in style. How did the rookie class help score victory? Let’s dive in.
OT Tyler Guyton
Guyton started at left tackle and played in the first quarter before leaving the game early. He never returned and it’s reported he has a high ankle sprain. Chuma Edoga replaced Guyton and is the main candidate to take over the position in Guyton’s absence. Edoga played the rest of the game and allowed only two pressures and zero sacks.

C Cooper Beebe
Beebe had some issues against the New York Giants that primarily sends its pass rush inside. He managed to stay clean and allow zero pressures but where Beebe really had problems was in the run blocking. Thankfully the Giants defense couldn’t contain Rico Dowdle who went for over 100 yards on the ground, but Beebe clearly has some work to do in run blocking.
LB Marist Liufau
Liufau played eight snaps on defense. He got in the Giants backfield twice putting pressure on Drew Lock. Other than that he was doing his secondary role on special teams.
CB Caelen Carson
Injured reserve
WR Ryan Flournoy

T Nathan Thomas
Injured reserve
TE Brevyn Spann-Ford
Ford wasn’t targeted at all in the passing game, but he did help in the run game as an extra blocker. Ford played 31 snaps against the Giants and 20 of those snaps was as an extra blocker. He made one very good tackle on special teams as Dallas looked to pile the pressure on as the game developed.
