The Story in 60 Seconds

Levi Dombro of The Landry Hat argues that Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Elijah Garcia deserves an increased snap share at the expense of veteran Kenny Clark. After joining Dallas via the practice squad following Jonathan Bullard's injury, Garcia has logged 83 defensive snaps since Week 4, recording a sack, four pressures, 10 tackles, and six stops over the last three games.

Dombro contends that Garcia offers significantly higher per-snap impact compared to Clark, who has registered 15 pressures and one sack across 209 pass-rush snaps. With Quinnen Williams and Otito Ogbonnia performing well, Dombro suggests Dallas should prioritize a youth movement by expanding Garcia's role along the defensive interior.
