Three big questions going into next season at offensive line

jwitten82 · Mar 17, 2022

So far we're heading into next season with 3 big question marks at LG, C, and RT.
While Steele did a good job at stepping in when Collins went out, he has to prove he can consistently do it
McGovern and Biadasz were both disappointing.
We can address it during the draft, but it's gonna be interesting to watch. Last year our line gave up 33 sacks. Zack Martin and Tyron Smith will be 32 this season.

Remember when all the know it alls wanted McGovern over Williams…good times… :muttley:

I think Biadasz can improve and will be the likely starting C next year
Steele can do just as good as Collins - with Ball possibly stepping up his game
McGovern - probably should have traded him when teams were interested - I didn't like what I saw from him
Issac Alarcon - I know, I know - but get this man some cake and let's not give up on him yet

Not too many FA's that will be an upgrade - so draft or bust at this point

Hope we have better back-up QB's than Rush and Bailey Zappe who we will probably pick up in the 4th or 5th round.

And Smith cannot play all 17. But they did tag a TE that can't block, so there is that.

as the Cowboys see it, a possible LG hole, that's if they have moved off McGovern, C and RT we're good

They can address one OL position in the draft at best, and with Gregory leaving they need to address DE too - and WR. Normally teams want to fill their biggest needs in free agency then go into the draft looking for BPA. Dallas will need to address serious gaps in their roster in the draft and that's how you wind up with Taco Charlton.

JIMMYBUFFETT · Mar 17, 2022

I don't think there's any question. They are gonna play Steele at RT, Martin at RG, Biadasz at C, draft Z. Johnson or K. Green to play LG and T. Smith at LT. Far fetched plan where you're asking two current players to take big steps in the off season and a rookie to start but I think it's exactly what their plan is. It's a crappy plan full of projections and what ifs but their plan none the less.

They are in a process of a rebuild. Already have 1 new starter, 1 expected at LG and might see another future starter added.

I think they should've addressed the weaknesses in FA and try to make something work with Collins. I don't think it's a smart idea to rebuild your oline in the second year of your franchise qbs 4 year contract, rookies don't usually perform like Martin did when he came in

Kingofholland · Mar 17, 2022

There's a lot of free agent offensive linemen out there if the Cowboys are interested.

cowboysfan99 · Mar 17, 2022

Don't worry. We'll use our first round pick on a WR for the third time in four years. That should help.

Need a shot of youth.
