The OL looked like it got beat routinely. Can Holland help?

I can't evaluate, especially with the views given on tv.

I would remove Proctor and gamble on Holland.

I wouldn't worry about his run blocking since we don't use zone schemes. What I would worry about is his pass protecting. Specifically, blitz recognition.

I think that alone is why Proctor started against the Skins.

If Dallas insists on running to its left, starting Holland certainly can't hurt.

Yes, he can.

Have you watched Proctor? I think I could do better than him by just standing still. There is a reason we rushed Kosier back to soon. Proctor blows chunks.

I agree, but I bet there is a reason Holland didn't start against the Skins. That reason is probably because they suspected Proctor could do a better job than what Holland is currently capable of.

if thats the case than thats a 5th round draft pick down the drain.

It's early. While some don't consider the offensive line a skill position, it is. I think he has the ability and the size to replace Koiser, but give him time. Remember, he started from scratch. The Broncos run a completely different scheme than the Cowboys do. (zone blocking)

Proctor knows the offense and thats why he started.

I dunno... can he play defense?

At 322lbs, I'm sure he could park his butt in the middle of the defensive line. Of course, we already have Ratliff manning that position and doing a fine job.

Yes, he can. And even Wade said he would play against the Commanders. Teh rpbolem is, the game-plan just sucked and they didn't end up using him. Dallas is running to the right like a raging bull, but they sucked running to the left...
