McGovern is a back-up, he's not NFL starting caliber.
he’s under contract for one more year.
we basically wasted him.

Funny thing is. Fixing the oline is the only thing they have been consistently good at for the majority of the last 25 years.After their shoddy OL lost them a super bowl, the chiefs decided to fix the OL and did it in one offseason.
Signed a high end guard (Thuney)
Traded first for a LT (Brown)
Used 2nd on a center (Humphrey)
Used 3rd on a guard (Smith)
just like that’s weakness was turned into a strength and will be for the next 3-4 years. This is the type of front office work the cowboys are incapable of doing.
What not just sign the Bucs OC. He is a free agent and considered a top 5 OC...Yeah let’s offer our first round pick for Marpet and the Bucs second round draft choice. Then use those two 2nd round picks for a center and offensive line depth. Seems improbable but that is similar to what KC did to improve their line. The Ravens made one of the worst trades in NFL history considering how bad their line was this past season. All for a second first round pick for a wide receiver that talent is of someone you can get later in the draft. If the Cowboys made that horrible trade we would be getting panned.
No, the key was getting extreme talent to play like it. So, yes, it was coaching, but it was coaching and talent.The Cowboys of the 90s only had one 1st rounder. The rest were 3rd or later round picks; some even undrafted. Their key was their Oline Coach.
Cowboys keep using costly 1st round picks on Olinemen. How has that worked out over the years, plus against the salary cap?
Get a much better Oline Coach who knows how to improve this Oline.
Yes, Burrow does this.agreed, they just have an elite QB who can mask that deficiency.

Extreme talent which the Cowboys used from the mid-to-late-to-undrafted Olinemen the Cowboys from the 90s used thanks to their excellent Oline Coach.No, the key was getting extreme talent to play like it. So, yes, it was coaching, but it was coaching and talent.
What no multiple 1st rounders on the off-line???After their shoddy OL lost them a super bowl, the chiefs decided to fix the OL and did it in one offseason.

Actually (correcting myself), no 1st rounder drafted out of that group of the 90s, not 3-4+ like today's Cowboys have drafted but fail to accomplish much with. It ultimately comes down to coaching.

More than that, we need to change how we run the ball. Need a coach in here to instruct KMo.The cowboys OL grades well inside the top 10 by most accounts. Really about top 5-6. That includes Williams who was better than most think though he probably won't be back.
What the cowboys need is a new OL coach and then be willing to use pollard as a primary runner and let Zeke be the short yardage and blocker in the backfield more.

Did they win? I heard they lost.What no multiple 1st rounders on the off-line???
How can teams win only with playmakers?
It is. There are still things I like about KMO, but it's blatantly apparent that he was not ready to be OC. He has some great ideas, but man does he need some help. Advice.Yep, we need an adjacent OC that will 'teach' kellen on the job .
its getting insane . but its true .
