Cowboys to work out veteran OT George Fant

[DuncanIso]

Swing Tackle?

Played LT and RT.

 

[Stash]

I think they’re looking for some veteran insurance policies to shore up a few positions they may be less comfortable with.

Time to Waletsgo of Matt. That experiment hasn’t worked out.

And I think they may have a handshake deal in place for Stephon Gilmore to return to shore up the cornerback depth chart until everyone gets healthy.

Anything that keeps knocking Waletzko down on the depth chart is good with me. This team seemed to have gone from a "churn the bottom of the depth chart" mentality to a "freeze the bottom of the depth chart" mentality over the last number of years

Insurance

Fant is a decent, but not great player. Exactly the kind of guy that we need in case one of the starters is injured or underperforms.

The Dallas Cowboys have a habit of stockpiling offensive linemen, so the team will continue that trend by working out a veteran with 75 games of starting experience following mandatory minicamp.

The Dallas Cowboys have made a habit of stockpiling offensive linemen throughout the years, and it has paid off with some of the most impressive units in the NFL throughout the years. This season, they are doing it again.

Following the conclusion of mandatory minicamp, the team is looking to add bodies for training camp that can help put in some solid reps and potentially surprise the coaching staff enough to earn a spot on the roster.

Churn baby churn.

Same here. The guy is too tall, too awkward, and not strong enough. Three years hasn’t changed that.

I hope they do sign Fant. He’s a good athlete that’s improved during his transition from basketball to football and has been solid when he’s played.

I think he’d make a good swing tackle option and a fallback option if Guyton flames out.

Elevate the level competing in camp. Strong move when putting slots on a microscope.

Fant would push Asim Richards and Matt Waletzko, who has been injured for three seasons but came in with some credability.

It starts there otherwise.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

I would like him as a swing tackle. Give Asim Richards more time to develop into that role.

 

[Mr_437]

If Fant is brought to Camp he would be a welcomed addition as a measuring stick of where young guys like Asim, Nathan, and Cornelius are. It would be great if Coach Riley n Adams were able to develop young backup OTs because it's been a while.

 

[buybuydandavis]

I’ve been assuming Asim was the guy….do we not have a swing tackle this whole time?

Asim always passes the eyeball test when he plays.
I wanted him to get more of a chance here. Bet he ends up starting elsewhere.

Maybe they want a veteran to teach the young guys some stuff but it sure seams like the OL is set. I would think the only competition is at RT. They drafted a lot of OL. It could be that the rookies need time to build strength and it’s a long season so if you get 4-8 games out of a vet, that’s a couple months the rookies can grow and it would be nice if they only have to play half a season the first year.
