Any UFA to help O-line? La'el Collins?

[Blackthorn]

I hate to hit the panic button for the O-line depth, however I am a little more than nervous after looking at the tape of what the team put on the field. Compound the fact the rbs don't block near as well as Zeke. I don't feel good moving forward. Would it be crazy to sign La'el Collins as a swing guard or tackle? Thoughts?

That washed garbage piece would do absolutely nothing on this team. Don’t we have enough trash in the building? Why add more?

When you replace 1 guy they should be in good shape, when you replace 3 it's a problem. That wasn't an ideal situation and should be a rare occurrence.

Come on on, now. You know we like our guys.

I mean I didn't think the OL was terrible. We ran the ball really well and yeah, there was some pressure on Dak but overall, I didn't come out of that game thinking holy hell our OL is awful.

I was somewhat surprised they didn't move Tyler out to LT.............. and maybe if Martin came back but Tyron was still out they'd move Bass to LG and let Tyler play LT.

someone made this about Dak fast

Who knows what kind of shape he's in, but he'd be a good PS player to have.

 

[Tabascocat]

Would rather they look for linebackers…….

Dallas took a 12m dead cap hit to walk away. Cincinnati took a 3.6m dead cap to walk away. No one has sniffed in his direction in a couple of weeks. At this stage is he really any better than what we have here? Best to just keep walking!

I have no idea, I can only assume, but I have to believe Collins is done or else someone would have picked him up by now. Guy had some pretty serious hip issues which can be extremely tough to come back from.

I think the bigger question is who do you get rid of to make room for another OL? I get that the current reserves are not exactly Larry Allen and Nate Newton, but I came away from the Arizona game a lot more confident in the OL depth than I was. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to upgrade from a Hoffman or Bass if an upgrade is truly there for the taking, I'm just not sure a true upgrade is really there unless you want to start giving up draft picks in the trade market.

And what exactly will Collins bring to the Cowboys?

 

[KDM256]

Judging by his body transformation, I would have thought DJ Fluker would have been picked up by a team thus far but no one has pulled the trigger other than giving him workouts.

It's Crazy, do we really need a guy who failed drug tests, attempted to bribe a sample collectior, who missed a season because of a minor fender bender and a questionable work ethic...NO THANKS!!

a headache!

He can bribe the refs to call less penalties

 

[speedkilz88]

I read that he's still injured.

The entire team is putrid, not just Dak

I don't remember 3 being out at such a last minute way.

 

[Carson]

He passed his physical last week and is now cleared

It was weird. Biadisz I think was the only one mentioned during the week and they said he "should be" good to go. The other 2 were just last minute scratches.
