Jerry Jones not worried about offensive line

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he's ``not losing any sleep'' over Doug Free starting at right tackle on Sunday against the Commanders. Starter Marc Colombo broke his fibula last Sunday against Green Bay.
Dallas has a veteran line that has played together with very little turnover in personnel, but not much depth.
``I'm not happy because it was necessitated by an injury to Colombo,'' Jones said. ``I feel good that we have an offensive line that didn't require us to see how Free would play in games, which at the end of the day is the only way you really have a feel for how he's going to play.
Free, a fourth-round draft pick in 2007, has worked at both tackle spots. This will be his first start.
``There's a little of me that knows he's been at left tackle and he's going over to right tackle and because of his unique, quick feet and good feet, he may be a better left tackle than he is a right tackle,'' Jones said. ``This is what you have to do with offensive lines and that is to give you some flexibility there.''
Free went in when Colombo got injured against the Packers.
``Anxious is not the word for it, I thought he came in, gave a good accounting the other day and have confidence tht he will pay well. one of the reasons I have confidence is we have the hightest paid offensive line coach in the NFL with Hudson Houck.''

So far Cowboys Stadium has hosted pro, college and high school football games, several concerts, several soccer games and will add college basketball and the NBA All Star Game here in the not-too-distant future.
How about boxing?
It has been mentioned as a possible site for a potential fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather.
"We're in a sensitive time there and don't want to comment on that right now," owner and general manager Jerry Jones said. "But that's going to be - if it happens - that's going to be a great fight and we really with the visibility of our stadium and location , we really have our eye on the ball here is the best way to put it."
