I will say this about Steel

[CoachD]

Man he sucked for most of the last year and I thought that he was going to be the next Chaz Green, however, he did get a ton of experience and playing time and believe it or not he did improve. Now personally I think the Cowboys are much better off with McGovern at guard and Zack Martin at right tackle for the next 5 games but Coach Jones is going to go in a different direction.

 

[JBS]

He also sucked in preseason

..Yep, McGovern earned his ticket Vs Bucs. Salute the man.

No, McCarthy and the staff are going in a different direction. Hopefully playing with the rest of the starters makes him look a little better and we help him out a bit. None of the backups looked good in preseason really but McGovern seemed to do fine with the rest of the starters.

Meh, it was PS. I don't care how he looked. I do care about how he does Sunday. I think he will be better than most think.
However, he will be gaged on going up against Bosa. Bosa can make most decent OT's look like what some will think Steel will look like.

Tough challenge for any OT. I do hope they decide to move Martin out there until Collins returns.

I can say he sucks

LOL at anyone who doesn't think Jerry influences the coaching decisions. MM only has the title.

Yea, can't say among Ty, Knight and Steele they all sort of looked bad against backups at times.

Hopefully, he's better than last year.

This or bring in a better option via trade ( 6th or 7th pick ), another team practice squad or free agent.

Disappointed in a couple of things: 1) why is Ty Nsekhe on the roster if he isn't a swing tackle? Is he injured and we aren't aware of it? 2) does this coaching staff (primarily Coach Jerry, McCarthy and Philbon) believe in the mantra "play your best 5 OL"? If so, is McGovern not considered better than Steele or Nsekhe?

Lol at anyone who thinks Jerry influences the coaching decisions. Show me proof. Oh, you have none? Ok then.

Zack at RG also helps Biadasz. Dak being right handed can also see and anticipate pressure from that side.

Coach Steele up, and give him help on Sunday and see what we can do. If he struggles— put Nsekhe in. If he can’t handle it— break the glass and move Zack out there.

I have no problem with them trying their backups out there until they show they can’t do their job. OL get better with age and experience— let’s see what the kid does with the opportunity

I think he’s our new LG in 2022.
