Proof the entire sports media are as bored as we are this time of year. Believing Kaiir Elam is the key to the season when we have so many other question marks has to be apex of grasping for a storyline to write about in early July.

No doubt the Cowboys need to find a CB to play while Diggs is out, but I can name 3 other players who might be even more important than Elam after giving it 2 seconds of thought.

How about Tyler Guyton, for one? Mazi Smith, anyone? Dak? I am pretty sure Booker needs to live up to his 1st round hype too. RB?

Yep, one player two player , key the whole season. And here I thought it was a team game. With three phases, offense, defense, special teams.

Predictions of which positions will be weak and which ones will be strong are almost always wrong.

Some unexpected players will over-achieve expectation at a predicted weak position and there are often injuries at a position expected to be strong.

i'm valuing the LT role more than OG interior, .

Asim Richard would have to have an off the chart impressive entire summer to have me think differently about NOT considering moving Tyler out to LT.
But i do think it would be neccessary to have Tyler takes some "emergency Plan B" reps in camps in spots & occasions in training camp to be better prepared should
moving him to emergency LT a possibility.

Plus what if Asim himself gets injured in camp ..or in games where he is backing up an " injured " Guyton ?

And .i don't think it is a guarantee that it will be TJ Bass immediately filling in for a moved out Tyler Smith, the club may be more incline to trust vet swing man Mike Hoffman
to man the the LG backup than a Bass.

was Asim that bad when he filled in last season???

Remember..

The Bills gave up on him.

good players don’t get jettisoned.

Really? That’s the key? If so they are screwed.

Sure they do. It happens all the time.

Watch the games!

Watch the games!

Games I saw he looked better than Guyton, didn't look bad enough to not play if needed

We have to count upon our current depth (what little we have) to hold the fort until we get more healthy ...

- i'll go further to say Plan B is to prepare as if a Diggs may not even make it back full health, or suffer another setback again ..

- i have my reserves about Digg's long term plan based off his current medical status but that's down the future road.

- i wonder what is the deal with CB Stephone Gilmore and the wait.. but maybe this club does not think the 35 year old CB ( yes,, he'll be age 35 in Sept)
has anything left , or why wait until other NFL teams nab him ? ...

- Wouldn't we want Gilly here & early to learn this new Eberflus defense ?
yet why is the 35 yr vet CB still on the streets if he is any worth value ?

First of all Gilmore has been in this league long enough a veteran like him has played every defense but maybe you ought to go back and just Google it and you'll find out they work together with the Colts His DC with the Colts I don't know for how long a period was eberfluus.

So I don't think that matters at all I don't know if they're planning on bringing him in but he would have no problem fitting in right away whenever they do again 'cause he's a veteran that's played in every defense but he's also played but the exact DC we've had...

He’s not the key. The health at QB is the biggest key. But he could be a very impactful piece
