How would you go in to the season? This is different from what do you think the Cowboys will do? Going in, knowing what you know about the players on the O-line. Who would be your offensive line, going in to the starting season?

Mine..

Smith, Costa, Frederick, Arkin, Free

That's looking a lot better now... Don't you think?
 
No possibility of Costa over Leary at Guard. Costa is not even practicing at Guard most days.
 
I hate to nitpick, but there are at least 10 other threads about this... Did we really need another one?

I said that would be my way; not the coaches way... We all know I don't always agree with Garrett.
 
I have no clue who should start at RG, but Smith-Leary-Frederick-x-Free seems pretty locked in at this point.
 
Leary was much better than both Arkin and Costa in the game.
 
Smith, Leary, the Beard, Bern, Free

I am hoping that during the next month of preseason games we see Arkin improve to a point where Bernadeau is able to be demoted to a depth players' role. I have my doubts about him but I also don't think much of Berny from what I saw last season.

If Livings can get healthy, I'd put him in over Bernadeau. It'd be nice if David Arkin can change my mind in the preseason.

There is no combination that is quality but this is the best scenario, IMO.

That's pretty much where I'm at too. But right now I just don't trust Arkin not getting abused by power when the real games start. Tired of seeing that out of our OL.

It seemed like everyone was getting abused last year. That's one reason to be happy about Fredbeard and Leary; they aren't so vulnerable to the bull rush and power moves.

You saw an instant improvement with Fred and Leary in there. Now it was only one game and a preseason game at that, but I don't expect those two guys to have those kinds of issues like Costa and Arkin.
