Cowboys elevate Brock Hoffman and Sean Harlow to active roster

[America's Cowboy]

If you are thinking Farniok, I would agree that he is a better option than Hoffman, but something tells me he left on bad terms and is not coming back. IMO, considering what they had on their roster, they should have made a spot for him on the 53. I would feel a lot better about the OL today if Farniok was playing than I do about Hoffman.

The Cowboys mistake was not ensuring they had a decent backup at Center even if they wanted to let Farniok go. But consider this, if they wanted to sign a quality backup at C, then they would have to make a spot for him on the 53 man roster. They obviously did not want to do that which is why they cut Farniok in the first place.

100% agreed. Certainly sounds that's exactly what the front office was thinking. Huge mistake leaving the backup Center position empty. Hoffman is going to get tested by Cardinals NT Leki Fotu (6'5", 335 lbs). Fotu is big, strong and has gotten better the past 2+ years.

Stay earnest!

I understand your point about practice, lol I know it was sarcasm, at least I hope it was

So Richards, Bass, Hoffman, Harlow, Steele? Super Bowl!!!!

This is one of those, yes injuries happen.

But losing your CB (big plays) and C (bad snaps, fumbles, sacks) is a recipe for disaster

Hoffman is absolute poop and was by far the worst OL during camp.

Not doom and gloom that we will lose. But this could make this a much closer game

And this is where that horrible decision to let Farniok go....comes back to bite us.

If Biadasz doesn’t go, what is that? 25 straight without all 5 starters playing at the same time?

It has been a very bad stretch of OL health. Hopefully it does not become too much to overcome. Looks like Biadasz and Martin are out with Tyron being a game time decision. This could spell trouble.

Not great but if you're potentially missing Biadasz, Martin and Tyron, that's extremely dicey regardless of the opponent. Let's not forget that Steele while healthy doesn't look quite like himself yet.

That sucks

3-4 front. Starting DE Watkins (former cowboy is out).

Two guys who will give us trouble are Dennis Gardeck and Victor Dimukeje. Don’t sleep on Zaven Collins as well. Very solid 4-5 linebackers.

Secondary is just decent. Big downgrade without Budda Baker. They can play … but they aren’t the Jets

Thanks
