Yeah, kind of what I have got. No one is inspiring great confidence. Farniok just was put back to C exclusively. Have barely heard Waletzko's name. Edoga probably has been the best of the reserves. Bass has not made a splash and have only heard one or two good things about Richard's. We need Martin back and good health all year.
Starting to realize why Philbin was fired.
I have no opinion on the first two because I don't know what they are saying but on the topic in general I totally agree. Every year this board and social media are full of comments assuming these young OL who have done nothing will step in and be quality NFL players. I'm not talking about picks like Tyler, I'm talking about UDFAs and late draft picks. The comments I read about Waletzko alone this offseason (just like Ball last year and 2 of the UDFA guys this year) were insane almost as if it's a sure thing he will be good. The guy played 1 offensive snap last year and was injured to boot. Now, I'm not saying they won't be good because they very well could be, but you can't assume it until you see it and you can't build a roster assuming they will be when you have our OL injury/hold out issues and may need 2 or 3 guys to step up.
Maybe it's strange to you because they're not tipping their hand they're playing guys in flex positions all training camp and whenever the regular season starts it's gonna be a different lineup for the depth chart that's serious I don't know why people don't understand this they're literally purposely using guys all over the line out of spots they normally wouldn't play so they get a little bit of a feel for it I think Walletzgo is the most likely swing T IMO
If you listen to anybody's opinion you might want to refer back to last offseason, when both this place, the social media, all the sports channels were saying that the Dallas Cowboys were not going to be a very good team for 22 because we had no depth and it was the worst offseason in the history of the Dallas Cowboys and somehow all that depth that they brought in actually worked out pretty damn well..
It’s not hard to understand. Edoga had been a bad T his whole career. He literally only stuck around the league because he was moved to guard.
Some of it was because it was a hot topic with the Cowboys focusing on offensive line in the draft, the same as they did defensive tackle this year.If you listen to anybody's opinion you might want to refer back to last offseason, when both this place, the social media, all the sports channels were saying that the Dallas Cowboys were not going to be a very good team for 22 because we had no depth and it was the worst offseason in the history of the Dallas Cowboys and somehow all that depth that they brought in actually worked out pretty damn well..
Do we need to do this every offseason make wild guesses and listen to every report coming out from everywhere when they're literally experimenting all across the line with players purposely playing out of position but whenever the actual season starts there's going to be a whole different lineup for the depth as far as each position goes..
just like people are talking about this guy right now chuma, he is not going to play much tackle, he'll play inside Wally is probably going to be the swing tackle.. They literally are purposely doing the flex thing with players all playing out of position just to get some experience there and this is what you get to see in practice because this is what they allow you to film and what they allow out but whenever they start closing practices to start putting in game plans, we will not see any of those because it will have real lineups and real strategies with guys you know practicing on how to pass guys off , blocking schemes, pulling...you're not going to see a lot of any of that what coming out of training camp. Wait till they get back to Dallas there's going to be less and less of these practice videos or reports coming out of anywhere because they're going to start getting ready for game one.
Again do I need to go pull up everyone here who said we had a historically bad offseason didn't have enough depth and somehow made it to the second round of the playoffs with a sad team apparently, we had one of the worst rosters in the history of football but won 12 games and made the 2nd round??
It seems many of us, including me, were wrong. Edoga seems to be working exclusively at Tackle, and is likely the Cowboys swing tackle in 2023.
So did all pro OG Brandon Scherf….mightily.
When I hear Brock Hoffman is getting first team reps at Guard it makes me more than a little nervous
Last season we had McGovern and later added Peters. Maybe we still do something to address our depth, but haven't yet.
dont believe it, Farniok is the swing g/c ..ive seen him play, Mcgovern and he are about the same IMO. its ok though believe camp reports and all these negative reports.. Again, same as last year historically bad offseason look out, we're gonna have a bad year, yup those were camp reports last year.....
Newsflash they were WRONG
It's a year to year league talking about the past and what it might be in the future is ridiculous let's line it up we've got a really good starting 5 if things start to have to be shuffled we'll find out but I find in real games lined up with real players you know having all the starters next to each other and losing one and plugging in just one backup usually you don't lose much as what you're seeing in training camp is a bunch of backups lined up next to each other playing as a group and it looks a lot worse..
You know that's where fans need to just stop take a step back it literally was not just losing Terrence Steele. we also had issues along the line with left guard being unhealthy and they started rotating left guard, we didn't even have tyron Smith for the first 10 games literally this year I believe our offense is starting out way ahead of where it was last year. as well, we had TylerB go down he had Ding later in the year that seemed to affect him.
why is that surprising that they're actually using their full complement of players that they brought into camp you know like 90 to give them reps and get them some practice I mean isn't that what training camp is doesn't Brock Hoffman deserve some training I mean it's called training do you not know what training means that means a lot of the dudes who don't need a lot of camp are not getting as many reps and the young kids and the first time on this team type players need the reps they're getting the reps. I mean if not for training camp and preseason how would these players ever get on the field? You guys are making a mountain out of a molehill with all this stuff yes it's training camp they're using multiple players in positions they're probably not going to see in the regular season they're trying them out everywhere..
I guess I view Edoga sort of like Ty Nsekehe two years ago. I seem to remember him having significant game time a few outings and doing solid, but not asked to do more.
Here . . . Here . . . I concur
It’s not camp fodder man it’s an actual announcement:dont believe it, Farniok is the swing g/c ..ive seen him play, Mcgovern and he are about the same IMO. its ok though believe camp reports and all these negative reports.. Again, same as last year historically bad offseason look out, we're gonna have a bad year, yup those were camp reports last year.....
