Episode 230: The Cowboys are closing in on roster cutdown day, but first Bryan Broaddus and Voch Lombardi revisit the Caleb Downs debate after Gavin Dawson questioned whether the rookie safety can hold up in man coverage. Voch explains why the criticism needs more context, how Christian Parker can protect Downs from bad matchups, and why Dallas still landed one of the best players in the draft at No. 11.

Then it’s time to build the Cowboys’ 53. Bryan and Voch work position by position through the roster and make the tough calls: Camden Brown vs. Jonathan Mingo, Michael Trigg vs. Luke Schoonmaker, concerns at offensive tackle, a crowded defensive front, linebacker depth and some difficult decisions in the secondary. By the end, they have their 53 — even if it means letting some talented young players walk.
