Josh Ball
One of the few disappointments with the draft class was the injury to Josh Ball.
- It is highly likely that without the DV, if Ball had stayed at Florida State, he would have been a 1st round pick.
Steele played RT in college and is much better at RT than LT.
La'el played LT in college, but never appeared to have LT type athleticism.
Josh Ball's body type and style remind me of multi-time All Pro Joe Thomas.
- Both about 6-7 but with thick lower bodies more like an OG.
- Ball appears to have studied Joe Thomas.
- JT was known to have an unorthodox pass blocking style referred to as a shot put style.
- Ball and Joe Thomas both play with a nasty, punch you in the mouth style.
- Obviously, Josh Ball will have to stay out of trouble or all the athletic ability in the world won't matter.
Would have been better to kick CW to tackle, put LC at guard and keep Steel where he was able to play his best. Collins wasn't athletic enough for RT much less attempt to play LT yesterday. At least I think it would have been our best bet to give Dak a cleaner pocket and a little more push up the middle for runs. I hope these coaches figure something out soon.
Obviously I'm beyond stoked that we drafted Parsons, but oh man do I sometimes wish we had taken Slater instead. Tyron Smith started in the NFL at age 20 and he's got too many miles.
La’el looked fat and slow more like a guard than tackle I don’t think he’d do well at LT.

That’s why I keep LC and move him back to LG. He could be very good inside.Collins gonna get cut this off-season.
no way they pay him 30 million over 2022-24.
Steele is making 900k.
they also have to decide on our LG, who is UFA soon.
yawn. So the National Enquirer is your source of news as well?Something is wrong with this dude.
Football doesn't seem that important to him. The decision making, the weight issues, etc. Gotta keep a sharp eye on him.
That sounds like a complete mess.
Too many moving parts on a unit that was playing at elite level.
Should have kept Steele at RT and played Nsehke or Lael at LT.
A SINGLE change on an OL that was humming.
Coaches were overthinking this and domino effect of OL becoming a sieve trickled down to every other skills position.
She would likely disagree in an attempt to provoke me. Her method of making some $$$.I believe Josh Ball's ex would completely agree with you on this analysis!
I don’t know what LT prospects were still available when Dallas’s draft position came up, but I would have no problem with them picking an OT instead of a project CB that only had close to a dozen games worth of college experience .we are lucky Steele has played so well at RT.
We needed help in the draft. Our 2nd round pick should have been on a T.
At this point, CW’s LT skills have probably diminished quite a bit from the level that he was at when he was drafted. There is some major flaw with CW’s skills at the OT position. CW has now went through several coaches that was not willing to even try him at the OT positions. Collins has a first round OT grade when he entered the draft, but his off-field rumors killed his draft position. Collins is a mauler, but Dallas has had mauling LT before, like Flozell Adams. Collins may not play well at the LT position, but it would be much easier to give him help at LT rather than having multiple positions that would need help from the TE or RB positions.Not really that much moving. CW is a better LT than LC. LC is a mauler with bad agility needed for LT, hell he was getting beat while at RT in this last game. Kicking him inside would allow him to maul without getting exposed while shoring up the inside. Keeping steel at RT where he's playing well next to Martin is a us. The only unknown would be CW at LT but many have speculated he'd do ok here, he certainly has the agility to kick out and take the edge players wide.
Didn’t you say we should have taken slater over parsons?we are lucky Steele has played so well at RT.

Yes indeed. This was a horrible coaching decision.That sounds like a complete mess.
