conner williams isn't playing as badly as many seem to think. not last year, and not so far this year. he's going to make a lot of people change their minds by midseason.

So Tyron is going to miss 3 or 4 games after being a game time decision last week? I thought so. Now Lawrence will miss 4 games probably too, even though there is nothing physically wrong with him according to Jerry.

Not sure how you exclude Martin and Collins in that mix.

Those two are much more of a given.

Williams at LT is a more interesting situation which I agree with trying, but the staff apparently doesnt agree, plus he simply doesn't look like a LT.
Williams plays and is built like a backup-rotational player. I hope McGovern is healthy and able to man the LG spot later this season.

i would hope Collins, Badazzz, Williams and McGovern are our young foundation for the future of this OL.

i very well mentioned Collins,..you apparently just were flat our Not paying attention..

Yet Again , " i hope Collins, Badazzz and McGovern are our "young" foundation for the future of this OL. " ............

- Martin and Tyrone will be in their 30's before the year is over, and Tyrone's health status seems to be clearly indicating he is not the durable figure at this time, and we just have to be prepared that he doesn't do a sudden retirement ala Travis Fredricks ,..and be prepared up for such emergency.

Thing is offense is in no position to try and control the clock. They gotta get their scores however which way they can. Defense just gotta nut up this game.......I'm not saying shut them down but get off the field on 3rd down and get a turnover or two.
I tend to agree. Dak is better when playing with an aggressive mindset. When holding back and playing ultra conservative the offense tends to bog down. That doesn't mean they have to be stupid or reckless with what they do, but if they want it to work they have to have some faith in their offense to make plays rather then send the message that the offense isn't capable. Besides, the O-Line isn't what it once was, and it isn't realistic to think the run game can excel without an aggressive passing attack to complement it.

I agree. If they need to run a quicker tempo so be it. It will probably hurt the defense but at this point its more important to score touchdowns than it is to control the clock. What this team can't do is run Zeke into punts. Its a waste of time.

I really agree there.

I also think someone will give him a second contract well above and beyond what Dallas will or should.

In the navy, i was seriously underpaid. Now i overpay myself. 365 days of paid vacation is nice.
Yeah, but you suck at your job.

Actually, I'm guessing you are very qualified to do nothing. Probably very proficient as well.

What I got from that article is Stephen Jones has a fat neck. He might want to consult the team dietician.

2 players currently overpaid

Smith is around 10 mil each year, this year and next, though we restructured this year to clear cap space. That's a good deal for a top 5 LT.

DLaw was a bad deal from day one. Paid like an elite player, while at best was ever just very good.
