Josh Ball is a lost cause. changing positions after so many years is not a good sign

 

[CATCH17]

Interesting.

His body type screams tackle.

Surprising he hasn’t been any better than he has.

Knocking what out of the park? There haven't been any team activities
Nothing but rainbows and unicorns from Coach Mike

I hope Waletzko steps up and becomes a player,. At this point I'm not sure any of the backups from last year are even quality backups. Hope they prove to be

Some guys just don’t transition to the NFL. He was good enough at Marshall to at least make a decent career as depth

 

[Mr_437]

I don't hate it. Ball was good run blocking, but the athleticism of the DEs was beating him.

 

[charron]

Good i hope he plays Guard better.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Waletzko develops. We didn't see much of him last year, but I liked what I saw.

Didn't care for what I saw from Ball, so maybe guard gives him a chance to turn into decent depth.

You do know that last year was Ball's first real season after being chosen in the 2021 draft and missing his entire first season due to injury? A lot of fans are ready to give up on him after essentially one season. That's somewhat understandable because he had some tremendously bad outings during that season. But he's still just a young player trying to find his footing. Maybe he'll find it at guard.

Translate: We are hoping not to cut him. New OLine coach experiment.......

Translation: This is Josh Ball's last chance. He has to be a Swiss army knife to find a roster spot.

 

[JayFord]

Guard imo is much easier to play than tackle maybe hes like me....

I could knock it out the park at guard but put a speed rusher on me and i cant get out my stance fast enough to block him as a tackle

 

[Cowboyny]

It makes sense as he is further along as a run blocker, but struggles in pass protection.

 

[big dog cowboy]

This is good news. But in a week that will be filled with all kinds of misinformation I'm not sure how serious to take it.

I do know the Cowboys were very high on Waletzko last year.

I don't think he's good. Simply put, his body type might be there, but between what's in the ears and just lack of skill, I just think he's not what we need. I think replacing him is the right move.

Exactly Broaddus

The Cowboys are screaming that they don’t want to take a guard with a premium pick.

PS?

It could be the opposite. I think they know Ball isn't a legitimate option. It's just a situation of having to let him play out the training camp things.
