O-line could look a lot different after bye week
By Tim MacMahon | ESPNDallas.com

IRVING, Texas -- The Cowboys’ offensive line could look a lot different after next week’s bye.

Offensive coordinator Bill Callahan said he is hopeful that Monday night’s matchup with the Bears would be the last game that Phil Costa misses due to back problems that have bothered him since training camp. Once Costa has recovered, there could be an interesting conversation among the coaching staff about whether Costa or Ryan Cook should start at center.

There could also be a change made at right guard, a topic Callahan and head coach Jason Garrett danced around but didn’t deny Wednesday. The Cowboys have the option of replacing struggling Mackenzy Bernadeau with Derrick Dockery, a veteran with 113 career starts.

I thought the guy did a pretty good job last year upon his return.

And this is coming from a guy who was SCREAMING for him to be released in the first place!

When faced with life without football, the light came on for him and he became a much improved and more focused player.

I'm hopeful that the same is happening with Jeff Otah and we can take a look at him as a RT possibility.

What about Costa at center and Cook at right guard?

Does that mean he can replace Bernie and Free?

About a month ago, he clearly outperformed the two cheaper scrubs we ended up signing...

Sounds like the most sensible change....if any.

Trade for someone, surprise us jeRraaa

Replacing cook with costa would be stupid unless they move cook to RG. Costa Cook might be better than cook MAC

If these idiots don't get their act together we need to make a trade.

No one is going to trade a good OL right now. We are who we are this season, just gotta hope we get better
