I love hearing the news on Smith and Collins, it's not a guarantee that they will both have pro bowl seasons but it's encouraging. Add to that Dak's positive recovery news and I'm optimistic that this offense can prove troublesome for just about anyone.

Good to hear about Smith and Collins. Maybe it will stop some of the we need OL stuff. :laugh:

I saw two mock drafts today, both of them had us taking an OL at 10. Different players but both mocks had us taking OL. I will be very disappointed if any Offensive position is selected at 10 and double disappointed if it is an OL on top of that. We do not NEED an OL drafted high, after the 4th, take one then if you want but don't waste picks before the 5th on an OL.

McCarthy doesn't see the defensive scheme looking significantly different from last year?

I pretty sure that "the work they are doing now" doesn't even include low impact contact. He's basically saying they look good throwing around a therapy ball and taking intensely hot whirlpool baths.

Tyron has missed a third of all regular season games over the past 5 seasons. The great ones always had the gift of durability. Larry Allen started all 16 games in 10 of his 14 seasons including 4 of the last 5. Even Flozell Adams started all 16 games in 10 if his 12 seasons including his last five seasons. Since coming to the Cowboys Marc Columbo started every game of the season in 5 out of 6 years.

If you were to take the average of the left tackles performance last season you would have to weigh in Tyron's 2 starts, 9 by Brandon Knight and 5 by Cam Erving.

The Cowboys don't just need Tyron Smith to come back. They need the elite, lead-by-example, set-the-tone Tyron Smith coming back and staying healthy during what we all hope is a 19 game season. I would rather have a 2nd tier player start all 16 games than a 1st tier Tyron start 10 followed by a 4th tier backup.

Telling us that Tyron looks great was less about honest, objective analysis and more about following instructions from someone selling tickets. It's a relevant statement before the first playoff gamer, not the first minicamp.

So many guys on Twitter that cover the Cowboys have turned into utter aholes

It's like they think they can't be wrong and theirs is the only opinion that counts. Talk about self entitled

You know which guy's I speak of

well seeing how much of a mess the O-line was last year I cant argue taking an OT. The only thing worse than the O-line was the defense. Which Im hoping they draft a defensive player but I can understand taking OT

You don't draft a top 10 pick to back up in case of injury. You use that pick a starter. We just redid all the contracts for the OL, so they are your starters. You signed one of the best swing tackles in the league in FA, you got 2 young OT that got a lot of experience last year and did OK, not great by any means but OK. If you want to bring in competition fine, do that, use a pick or two late or some UDFA.. using a top pick on the OL is a waste of a pick.
