Cowboys are expecting to have LG Tyler Smith back for Thursday

[jaybird]

Here we go!!!!!

If i recall Jones had major surgery in the offseason. Not back to full strengh. And he was a LT. Me thinks he will replace Steele by mid season. Unless they want to keep him at Swing T. That would mean Steele is holding down the RT. But Steel needs to play better.

 

[zrinkill]

That will help.

Uh, no. Broderick Jones was responsible.

ST coaches fault for having him out there and probably not a lot of practice at it yet.
Has nothing to do with him playing RT.

Block the guy right in front of you.

How difficult is it?

Anderson just walked past him.

Teams overload one side and Nick Sorenson can't figure out how to get the guys to line up and block it. They flipped Steele over to the opposite side on the field goal blocking unit against the Texans and it still didn't matter. No matter who plays on the overloaded side someone gets through.

Terrible coaching. How Sorenson still has a job on this team escapes me.

Keep an eye on Beebe. Maybe Bass should be starting over Beebe.

You must not realize how good Beebe has been playing.

 

[beware_d-ware]

I'm ready to see the big dawg.

You're right. I don't.

I did see Sheldon Rankins throw him to the ground with one arm though.

But seriously. I have been watching him every game and too many times when he is not involved in a a combo block or double team, he finishes the play in the Cowboys backfield. I am not saying he is terrible. But watch him when he is matched up one on one and he struggles at times. Perhaps I am being critical but if they want to run the football, the C has to win his battles.

He has been pretty mediocre

He has graded 3rd worst, or 3rd best depending how you want to look at it.

Booker and Guyton have been the best.

I see many hammerin' on Jones. Cowboys have a pretty good track record of developing offensive linemen. Can we just give the guy a chance to be coached up????? I don't GAS about how many snaps or how many years in the league he has just give us time to put out mojo on the dude! Right now he is only a depth piece and Dallas is woefully short of OL depth. As a poster said above ... "who you gonna put in his place"? He is at least as good as Drew Shelton.

Lol

Through four games, PFF has him at a 69.0 overall grade, 6th among 32 qualified centers. His 73.4 run-blocking grade ranks 4th, while his 55.7 pass-blocking grade ranks 21st. He has allowed zero sacks, zero QB hits, and only four pressures, with no penalties.
