Less Martin, who do we have backing up our o-line

[Cowboy Brian]

Serious question... plus a banged up Smith, not a good situation.

Funny how what people saw as this teams biggest strength coming into the season is arguably our weakest right now.

Backups are Adam Redmond (G/C) and Cameron Fleming (OT).

Plus, Cowboys have rookie T Jake Campos, 6'7", from Iowa State and 3rd year G Cody Wichmann, 6'5", from Fresno State in the Practice Squad whom they could move up into the 53 in case of another injury/emergency.

I think they even like Redmond. And Fleming can play.

I wonder if they like him enough to be the presumptive backup center next year. We could trade Looney, who has shown he is a credible starter.

Yes, he can. He's done well for us in spot relief.
Off the original topic, but it seems that the FO has done well of late with the backups on either side of the line.

We're deep but we want to sit two guys who would play if we had to have this win. They're probably active and serve as the backups this week.

We've been playing light on the oline for years. We used to keep 9 or 10. Even with our issues, we've only got 8 now.

Starters + Williams, Fleming, Redmond. I wonder who would get the call if we needed another guard after Williams, Fleming or Redmond. Or, do they bring Martin back in.

Besides the penalties, I thought Tyron was moving pretty smoothly last week. He can play if need be. Fleming can play guard too. I think we're fine.

Sorry, BBDD, but Looney is a keeper. He's playing worthy of a Pro Bowl this whole season.

Yeah, dude has stepped up.

 

[Bullflop]

I read on (ahem) another website that it'll likely be Connor Williams replacing Martin. It surprised me a bit but we'll see.

 

[Teague31]

Too bad that guy we got from KC went on IR like 48 hours after we traded for him

I wouldn’t trade looney
I like the proven player over potential
And looney is a FA after next year
Keep him and see if the kid can develope
We will know next camp if we are gonna need a backup center or a starter

 

[CF74]

Fleming likely plays LT, Williams likely plays RG..

I’m tempted to move lefty Collins to LT and either stick Williams or Fleming at RT, possibly Redmond at RG in one of those scenarios...

I hope Ehinger can come back from IR soon

Are there any updates on him? I have to think Martin plays after this week though, he is as tough as any player in the NFL.

Agree that Looney has been serviceable and so glad we had him as Fred's backup
Pro bowl? Absolutely not

I searched him on Twitter and don't see any updates for him or Datone Jones unfortunately

He’s a tough dude
He probably will want to play but he’s never been really healthy all season
I’d rest him just to get him as close to 100% as I could
He probably won’t be 100% till the off season

Connor William (G), Redmond G/C, Flemming T. Improved situation over 2017
