The best asset of this team all season. I love this O-Line

I love this bar!(sorry, had to)

Seriously, Free is the vet leader and he's the only one not shown in the picture. Kind of ironic. They really look up to him. He should be commended for what he's done since getting a salary reduction a couple years ago. Props to DF!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the cheesy game reference im about to make but they look like the COGs from Gears of War..

 

[big dog cowboy]

Imagine what they will be like by the season opener next year.

Me too. And I'd like to keep it going and going. Work out deals for Free and Leary and add a young tackle and guard in the draft. Continue to invest in the next Great Wall.

 

[Carolina Cowboy]

Yup, now let's just get rid of Free so we can fix this damn thing.

 

[visionary]

Love to hear this
This is partly why my most important signings of the off season would be Leary and Free to keep this OL together without breaking the bank

 

[Stryker44]

Its shocking how the Dallas OL got good at run blocking overnight it seems

If free stays for a cap friendly deal no problem. otherwise, draft his replacement. This entire draft should be on defense, but i wouldnt mind a OT in the 3rd round

I feel that. Totally jacked and ready to curb-stomp some locusts (eagles) haha

We were effective last year murray was at 5 ypc, we just relied on the pass wayyyy too much....obv martin helped along w the development of the rest of the young guys and improved play of free.

Hopefully over the next couple of seasons they can build a D-Line the same way they've built this O-line.

Then Dallas would have something truly special going on.

I like how Tyron called Zack a kid like he's an old man or something.

They might not be very far away from having a really good DL.

Crawford and Melton are a really good combo at the 3-tech and together in some passing situations. (Hopefully they work something out to keep Melton).
D-Law has the potential to really improve the DE spot.
Mincey seems like he would be a better fit moving over to the Strong Side DE spot with D-Law becoming the starting Weak Side DE.
Josh Brent has the potential to really improve the 1-tech spot over Nick Hayden.

They might just need to add one quality DE next season to really push it over the top and that player doesn't necessarily have to be an instant starter.

Yes. It started jelling with Frederick and Leary, but both players naturally showed room for improvement. It's clear they have improved this year and Martin has stepped in like an old pro to complete the process.

Huh? Its not broken! What are you talking about??

The luck we've had with respect to the acquisitions and development of the OL has definitely taken a dramatic turn from the tough luck we've had in the past to exactly the polar opposite for the past couple of years. I'm extremely pleased with the way things have turned out with them. Their chemistry really is an added gift.

Free has been very good.

I see it as good scouting and prudent drafting. When the BPA is an OL, you take him.
