The Dallas Cowboys have always relied on their strong offensive line, which has featured standout players in the past. However, this year we will see changes as Tyron Smith and Tyler Biadasz have departed in free agency.

Tyron Smith has joined the New York Jets to protect Aaron Rodgers, while Tyler Biadasz has followed former defensive coordinator Dan Quinn to the Washington Commanders. As a result, the Cowboys have two key positions to fill and have opted to address these vacancies through the draft and in-house solutions rather than free agency.

We will gain a better understanding of their plans for the offensive line during OTA's and training camp.

Let's take a closer look at the potential starters on the offensive line and how they will contribute to protecting Dak Prescott and the team this season.

(GREAT write up about each position in this part of the article!)

Is the offensive line a strength or weakness?

Opinions on the offensive line will vary, and that's the beauty of football – its unpredictability. I think the o-line might face some challenges, especially with two rookies possibly starting at left tackle and center.

The seasoned veterans will likely help lighten the load for the rookies while handling the opposing defensive linemen.

I believe the line will turn out to be a strong asset for the team.

The combination of experience and fresh talent on the line should prove advantageous, and we'll likely see the payoff of their hard work towards the end of the season.

Expect the running game to flourish this year and the passing game to remain top-tier in the league. The media might have mixed opinions, but ultimately, this offensive line has the potential to be among the league's elite.

Revamped yes but we won't know if they got better until they play in a game.

Guyton is inexperienced on the left side and he was less than average run blocking.
Cooper is inexperienced playing center. Hoffman had 1 start vs a terrible arizona team last year but he looked ok just need to see more.

Steel couldn't possibly play worse so I expect him to be at least a little better.

Zeke will help in pass blocking....probably why they brought him back. As long as doesn't play center! Lol

Need to throw the ball to set up the run. Not the other way around. We are not going to fool teams with play action passes.

Tyler smith might be able to play LT, just a thought if Guyton isn’t the guy. Beebe can play LG. C and RT are ? Also Martin will retire soon. They need Guyton to pan out

If Guyton isn't ready week one, the lineup could be Tyler-Beebe-Hoffman-Bass-Steele.

Great post, Big Dog. I agree this season we will see a resurgence of our OL dominance that will last for a few years. It's a good year for Zeke to return as a Cowboys rock carrier.

I think they try some experimenting the 1st week or so in TC. Not that they don't already have a plan. But to get players some snaps at different positions.
