Nsekhe hospitalized heart ailment out for Sunday’s Chargers game as at least depth. So now we are down 2 tackles & the best DE on the team .

Steele & Smith ….then Farniok who’s versatile not sure if he’s more interior center guard depth then it’s Brandon Knight in the picture. Be nice if Josh Ball sent in a post card anything to let us know he may get a snap or two sometime in 2022.

Josh Ball is on short term IR and not available for the next two games. He sprained his ankle about 6 weeks ago. I think the team was just stashing him on IR for a roster spot for someone else. My guess is he is ready to play game 4 if the team needs him.

Farniok looked decent at OT and C in the preseason. Cowboys might have a nice backup with him pretty soon. He will need some tim probably.

Good thing the team did not trade Knight. They tried but didn't get what they wanted, I guess. Need all the depth one can get on the OL.

The PS only has 3 OL - Alarcon (Guard), Aviante Collins (T), and Braylon Jones (guard). I suspect one of those 3 might get called up this week.

let’s face it Collins is not someone the Cowboys can see holding down one end of the line for the near future and Smith while only 30 is in Yr 11 , yikes.
Josh Ball if he’s got anything is in a perfect spot once he’s off IR to show this pick was not a waste.

I think Ball, Farniok, and Steele will do just fine going forward.

Farniok is an interior player.

The OT depth chart was:
Smith
La'el
Nsekhe
Steele
Knight
Zack Martin
Ball

Farniok played both center and OT in the preseason games if I remember correctly. I did not remember seeing him play any guard.

Steele did a fine job
Martin was a beast as usual
Smith gave up one sacks but played pretty well
It’s so much easier to help a tackle than a guard and the decision people questioned about not moving Martin to tackle seems like they made the right move
Martin is where he needs to be and Steele, with some help will be fine at RT
It doesn’t get much harder than Bosa

I like Biadez at center he’s mauling digging in the dirt doing it to keep Dak upright . Dallas may have hit on another Wisconsin center .

He is gonna be a good player
People seen him get pushed back by Vea and think he can’t play
But he’s only gonna get better
