I'm in the (if healthy) Very Good crowd. I have faith T. Smith and Collins will return healthy. I do have some concerns about the middle of the line, but, if they can all stay healthy and become a cohesive unit, I think they can be very good.

My view is along here.

Two very good offensive tackles that should be ready physically for an entire NFL season.

An offensive guard who is still in the top two for NFL interior linemen.

An offensive guard and center that both are serviceable as well as well as still developing.

My biggest concern is at backup center right now.

Otherwise, depth is pretty strong throughout this offensive line group,

You bet. I like stirring the pot. Flushes out all the homers. Dak aint the one to take us ot the promised land as much as you lust/love him/

I don’t lust over him. You have no credibility with me after that statement. You could have worded it differently, instead of being insulting.

I have been on record saying I am still trying to decide. Though I am more for than against. I want to see what happens and how he does this season.

I have no expectations at all !
For me it is just wait and see what happens.
Will tyron and lael play whole season? will they be injury free? will they be good again? no way to know.
Center is same thing.
Connor W. will he be the same or better or worse, I think he will continue to be a weak spot.

The offense needs to move the ball and score no matter who is playing, or how good they are playing.

Whatever. Lots of people here fawn over dak for more reasons than his ball playing.

A healthy o-line is good to dominant. Last years o-line was sub-par. As we all know it comes down to health and that’s hard to predict.

My expectation for the OL? Open holes for Zeke and Pollard and protect Dak allow him the time to find these outstanding weapons on the outside. If we can avoid the mass injuries along the OLine then I fully expect them to get the job done.

Will be taking note as to who is taking 2nd team snaps at center during TC.

I believe that were rated #2 in passing yards, but I don't consider that to be the best ranking by itself.

Everything in competition is 50% what you do and 50% relative. Like let’s say you’re the second best team to ever play, and you’re going into the Super Bowl. But if you just so happen to be playing the greatest team, then your accolades don’t matter too much.

So projecting Dallas something more specific than top 10 is also indirectly projecting many other offensive performances. Dallas could have a great year, but if A-Rod and Pat Mahomes explode into some kind of record-breaking stat chase à la McGwire-Sosa, then top 2 is really out of the question, know what I mean? I like to keep it optimistic, yet relatively broad. Not so assuming

With the offense I feel confident top 3. As long as Dak is in there.
