Meet the Cowboys new massive offensive line

[CCBoy]

No, many teams will have their starting 5 much of the season. Maybe a player goes out for a few plays. Or a half a game, or a game. But all are back the next week.

They do not use a different line up each week, like Dallas did, or seemed to do.

21 to 24 for all starters but Steele.

You guys tell yourselves whatever you need to.

The Athletic: Cowboys pick up the best guard in the draft. B+

A mountain of a man, Booker is the most physically dominant run-blocking offensive lineman in this class. There are issues with his quickness and movement skills, but nothing too overwhelming. He’s likely only a guard in the NFL — but potentially a terrific one, powerful enough to help both the center and tackle playing next to him.
Dallas has done a nice job evaluating talent along the offensive line in recent years, and Booker should be able to make an impact quickly. He started as a true freshman at Alabama and grew into a leader. This might feel like a reach for some, especially given Booker’s positional limitation — and with players including Warren and Jalon Walker on the board — but Booker is the best guard in the draft.

Looks the same as last year except replaced a Hall of Famer with a rookie.

Zack Martin was hurt and a liability last year. His worst year as a pro by far. I thought the OLine looked better when he finally went on IR.

We are already at that point and have been since the Commanders drafted a QB.

Good thing we drafted a Guard.

Two-year starter and team captain with elite physical traits. Booker is a downhill run blocker with average explosiveness into first contact, but he utilizes his size and power to overtake defenders in the second phase of the block. He can play too far out over his toes but that’s correctable. Booker is an average athlete in protection but makes up for it with technique and football intelligence to defend against twists. He’s tough, smart and a top leader. The traits, football character and play strength will make him a good starter for a downhill, power-based attack.

Booker figures to make an immediate impact as a Cowboy, projecting to slide in as their starting right guard. While wide receiver may have been a more significant need, there’s no denying Booker will be an upgrade over the internal starting options they currently have on their roster in Brock Hoffman and T.J. Bass.

this was my initial feeling too, but zack wasn't zack and was more of a liability honestly. so getting a stud in his place, along with beebe improving and the line could be pretty special quickly. still not the way i'd have gone, but they've been telling us all off season what they want their identity to be and they're implementing it.

Geez no wonder Dak can't find his receivers. Guy is gonna need stilts to see over this line

A bunch of other young players got a year older.
Steele is a year further away from injury.

Not the same as last year.

This kid was the team Captain at Bama, a major program, and dominated just about everyone he faced in the SEC,and college ball. I'll take it and consider ourselves lucky.

cowboys congregation says DAMN☆RIGHT....and amen.

Awesome

Nah he already slow enough lol. We need to replace Steele.

He hasn't been a HOFer for 3 years.

 

[ErikWilliamsHeadSlap]

Yeah, there's always something to criticize if someone is really determined to find fault with it. It fits you to a "T". Congrats for being the devoted soul who's so determined to serve that purpose. A shining example of being supportive, you're not. Is there anything that makes you happy? Very unlikely!

He thinks Shedeur is the answer to all of our problems. That's what we're dealing with here.

looooooooooool

 

[gtb1943]

With the free agent contracts the depth for this offensive line is already a strength. Injury be damned this season!!

dumb post.

 

[ErikWilliamsHeadSlap]

It’s insane to watch this loser fanbase be excited about wasting the 12th pick on an unimportant position that we didn’t need.

The only thing this team doesnt need is kicker.

 

[gtb1943]

Not sure what this comment is implying. At one point the Hall of Famer was a rookie as well. That is the starting point for all careers. In fact anyone we would have picked at that spot, even the player you wanted, would have been a rookie.

The Hall of Famer was all Pro his Rookie Year

I remember BP saying he always wanted to draft team captains.
