You are not overthinking it. There will be several games missed by olinemen and their level of play will decline year after year. Tyron will miss several games and from what I have read, Collins may really decline.I’ve been going back and forth on the Parsons pick over Slater for a number of reasons.
I’m glad the front office saw the need for defensive playmakers, but the offensive line really scares me.
Tyron hasn’t played a full season since 2015, La’el has only played 2 full seasons in his 5 year career. Not to mention, Zach Martin getting banged up here and there. The other guys are still unproven.
We saw how pedestrian Zeke looked without those guys, and I think it has a trickle down effect on the entire unit.
Anyone else feeling the same, or am I overthinking this?
Great observation. When playing the better teams, the offense has not scored or been consistent and it has cost the team several wins.I would have to watch them again lol my memory isnt that good.
Our offense was not very good last year until we were way behind and other team was playing prevent .
And that to me is not a # 1 offense.
They only scored 17 in opening game , and our defense held rams to 20 points,so to me it was the offense that lost that game.
And the defense being totally putrid cost them even more games! Oops sorry sometimes I post stuff that makes sense no offense intendedGreat observation. When playing the better teams, the offense has not scored or been consistent and it has cost the team several wins.
my point is that it isnt just the defense that has cost them games, both offense and defense, and ST's have cost them wins, and then there is the coaching, play designs, and play calling.And the defense being totally putrid cost them even more games!

Im not concerned about the offensive line at all. As a matter of fact I think Dak has whats coming to him for being so freaking greedy!!!I’ve been going back and forth on the Parsons pick over Slater for a number of reasons.

Absolutely concerned, it got old and injury prone real quick. I guess the bright side is that if someone goes down this year, their backup got playing time last year.
Collins is a big question at RT. He’s making 1.5 mill in base this year.
jerry gave him that big contract in 2019. But he can get out of it after 2021 and take a 13 mill cap hit. That’s the problem.
Collins is due 10 mill in base each year in 2022-24. Not happening with a bad hip.
Biadasz, Steele, ConnorM, and Knight are all being paid peanuts.
if they drafted Slater, they admit their mistake with Collins and the big contract.
so when the hip goes, or he plays terrible, we get Steele as the starter.
What games? I need examples. I gave you examples.Cherry picking 3 games is cherry picking 3 games. What about the other games that got them into position? With a bottom 5 defense? Huh?
I always wanted to see Larry Allen play some snaps on DL...If Slater could be a two way player at DT and OG, then it would make sense for a team with the worst defense in team history to pick a OL.
Always concern for our O-line. It’s a matter of being fortunate enough to avoid the injury bug, and this is where depth comes in to play.I’ve been going back and forth on the Parsons pick over Slater for a number of reasons.

Because having the best OL in football for how many years took us to the promise land? People constantly talk about how great the Cowboys OL was in the last 10 years. WHO CARES.
Career 42 wins 27 losses with the most horrible defenses overall.What games? I need examples. I gave you examples.
When has Dak put us in any type of position with a bottom 5 defense? huh?
If you're going to refer to the 1-3 2020 season for Dak then save it and don't waste your time.
I'll wait.
Yawn.Career 42 wins 27 losses with the most horrible defenses overall.
I probably will be by game 6 after tyrons hurt again but not at the moment
Last season was a total meltdown . And I think the team is better than it appeared to be. The injury list is not normal in an abnormal season how can any team be fielding 4th string Olinemen?my point is that it isnt just the defense that has cost them games, both offense and defense, and ST's have cost them wins, and then there is the coaching, play designs, and play calling.
It isnt just one thing, and it isnt just the defense that has been bad.
