Cowboys 2024 rookie report: Rookie class did very little in Week 17

Dallas Cowboys 2024 rookie report: Rookies did very little in Week 17 -  Blogging The Boys

The final road game of the 2024 season for the Dallas Cowboys had an end result that was an embarrassing defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles. Injuries played a part but so did poor performances. But how did the rookies do during the Week 17 loss?

OT Tyler Guyton

Chuma Edoga once again started at left tackle last week. But Tyler Guyton did come in and take over the position and played a total of 32 snaps on offense. The pass blocking by Guyton was actually pretty good. He played 17 passing sets and allowed zero pressures and zero sacks. The run blocking, however, still looked a little clunky and had issues helping pave the way on outside runs for Rico Dowdle. It’s certainly an area for development this season for Guyton after he had the same problem in Week 16.

DE Marshawn Kneeland

Marshawn Kneeland played 27 snaps on defense in rotation and was largely silent. He had no pressures or sacks, and only managed record one tackle. Kneeland has made one tackle in the last three games.

C Cooper Beebe

Cooper Beebe played all 62 snaps on offense last week and had to deal with the unrelenting pressure from the interior of the Eagles defensive line. He allowed one pressure but managed to keep clean in terms of sacks. His one weakness was once again in run blocking and struggled with the competition.

LB Marist Liufau

Marist Liufau played as the starting Will linebacker and was in on 62 total snaps. It was one of Liufau’s quietest games since exploding onto the scene in recent weeks. He managed only one pressure and three tackles but he also whiffed on one tackle attempt making it a subpar game for the young linebacker.

CB Caelen Carson

Injured reserve

WR Ryan Flournoy

Ryan Flournoy played 13 snaps on offense and was targeted twice making one reception for three yards. The majority of his work came on special teams.

T Nathan Thomas

Injured reserve

TE Brevyn Spann-Ford

Brevyn Spann-Ford played only nine snaps and was in to play as an extra blocker in the run game. Much like the majority of the offense, Ford struggled to be consistent on his limited snaps. He added seven snaps on special teams.
