More doom and gloom from Erod. By all accounts, Fred is well on his way, if not already, to 100%. Martin is just having back spasms and with rest will be fine in a week at most. Connor’s injury was out on June 11 and well on his way to recovery. By all accounts, including his own, Tryon has never felt better or looked better in years. Why do you post this ****?
:clap:

I’m not. I’m from Beeville. Just have a place in Rockport or use to until Harvey. Still have the land, but the house was destroyed. Born and raised in Beeville and once I graduated from A. C. Jones, I joined the Marines and spent 20+ years defending our great country. Even when deployed in time zones outside the realm of most peoples conscious, I always watched the Cowboys. I missed one here and there due to circumstances, but always caught the replay. I remember one year I was in the boonies in a country I can’t name when the start of the season started. Me and one of my buddies bought a black and white TV and jury rigged into our satellite signal just to catch the opening day game live on AFRTS at 2am. Good times. Once retired, moved back to Texas. Where else?
Dangit! I take back almost all of the bad things I said about you! Salud!

One of my best friends has a place in Rockport. He was also in the military back in the late 60s and early 70s. He's from Oklahoma so you probably wouldn't like him. I can barely put up with him....

I happened to catch Connor Williams being interviewed by San Antonio's Greg Simmons yesterday and was absolutely shocked by his increased weight and muscular development. He looks like a totally different guy from what he was as a rookie. Looking forward to seeing what he can do at LG when the preseason games start. He must have been extremely active in the weight room during the offseason! :)

No one will remember the OL struggles, all they'll say is "It was an All-Pro line!".
Just like last year.
Corso, there’s some truth to that. People have been so spoiled with our O line that if they aren’t 2016 they are trash. We could lose 2 starters and still have a top 10 O line, it’s our biggest strength with starters and back ups.

Zack Martin is getting an MRI on his lower bac today according to The Fan.

Connor McGovern is going to be out several weeks with a pectoral muscle injury.

Travis Frederick is slowly regaining his strength and form. Looney is taking a lot of reps at center.

Tyron had his history of back issues.

Going to be a dicey training camp up front. Hope this doesn't bleed into the season too much.
They will make sure they are good to go by week 1. This is slot of precaution after last year. Martin is fine and Tyron and Fredbeard know there jobs and will be ready to roll.

Be honest.
Pure conjecture about Fred. Show me where it's been said he's close to 100%.
Tyron has been battling injuries the last 3 years, missed 3 games each of the last 2 years. Of course he's going to say he's never felt better, what else could he say? Back issues rarely get better.
It's not gloom & doom, it's called reality.
When you beat your personal bests in different lifts, like Fred has said he’s done, you’re 100%. Tyron has never said before that he’s never felt better, never. Yes, it’s doom and gloom but I understand some people live that way.

He just needs reps to get back in his groove and get his game stamina up. The power is back plus some. He and Martin and Tyron are gonna be limited to save for the season.

Martin's MRI showed not problems. Just standard procedure when a player has a sore back.

McGovern was likely going to be a game day inactive.

Frederick is fine and has been in top form in the weight room for some time now. He is back to his peak weight room numbers. Garrett is always cautious with veterans in training camp.

Tyron is the biggest injury concern on the entire team, IMO. They have options at OG or RT but if Fleming has to play LT for more than a game or two then that's a big problem.

erod, too early to sound the Injury Alarm and if you look around what's going on in Cowboys camp is going on in all of them. These guys get a hangnail and coaching staff is going to get a MRI and put them in bubble wrap.

Martin, Smith and Yosemite are vets and probably wish they were not in camp, I can remember OL hating camp worse than any players. And this is a little of a blessing in disguise, they know what they have in those players. This gives them even more reps to find the all important best backups to go into the season with because backup OL are only second to the backup QB in importance.

I'm just saying @Rockport all my buddies from that area are real chill/laid back. You're always so wound up and uptight on here. Relax man!
Lol!!! I live on a ranch in South Texas and have a second home on South Padre Island. Believe me, I'm not uptight. Just having a little fun. Salud!!!
