Ouch, not pretty. Hey things could work out fine. But we have a ton of experience telling us that a Jones led team typically does not work out fine.
I agree. I don't get why everyone watched our games last year and came away thinking Williams was horrible (he was) but that Biadasz was ok (he was not). He was a big part of why we got no movement up the middle and while "the numbers" say he didn't give up sacks he needs to be stronger in his base against the rush. Upgrade strongly needed there IMO. Maybe he takes a step forward, but I would have addressed center. Biadasz and Farniok doesn't make me confidentCenter is still my biggest concern.
Penalties MUST be reduced.
Smith only has an upside in replacing Williams.
Steele has a lot of game experience filling in for Collins, now knowing he is the starter, he has put in the work to be better.
Badiasz is the wild card here. Has he improved, as one thread stated, he looks bigger and in better shape so hopefully stronger. Will better LG play help his game, maybe. We will see how TC and any competition goes.
smith only has upside on Williams is absolutely false. There is absolutely a chance he is worse. This is a terrible take. Can he be better. Of course. He can also be worse.

Until Kellen calls his usual plays that call for Dak to hold the ball too long

Wow shocking revelations that we have serious questions on our O-line.
We all know that these are the problem areas and so do the coaches and the FO peeps.
Hence the drafting and signing of 4 players to come in and push for those jobs.
T Smith and Waletzko get all the buzz on here (and else where) mainly because of the situation with the other T Smith. Can one of them be our future starting LT? Either one or both, could end up being starters at either OT spot in the future. But for now Smith will obviously start at LG and that should be a huge upgrade over the Conners, and sooner rather than later. That should help Dak and co. immediately.
Waletzko is here to push Ball for the swing OT spot, both will want the job and that should make them put in the work to improve in order to get it. May the best man win.
But IMHO, the 2 guys who don't get much attention are probably just as important if not more so. Empey and Lindstrom are here to force Biadasz to be better or get out of the way. We must get stronger inside if we want to have any chance of success.
What ever happened to the great Farniok? He was supposed to win the job over Biadasz.
Now a couple of undrafted FA's are going to outplay Biadasz? Grasping at straws again.
How about giving a young player more than one year starting to get his feet under him in the NFL? Biadasz was nowhere as bad as some made him out to be last year. It was his first year healthy and starting a full year after college. First offseason healthy where he could train and improve instead of rehab.
This is a big year for Biadasz.
The Dallas o-line had the most penalties in the league. Also, it seemed as if the center had trouble getting the ball in Dak's hands.Those are the facts.They have an aging and fragile LT, a rookie at LG, a C that does not consistently put the ball in the same place on shotgun snaps and a RT that hasn't played a full season. No concern here.
Mr. Crucial on the offense has to be Zack Martin. Even more so than the QB and WR. He is the anchor of the ? on the team. WR's come in right after that.
The OL is critical to play calling and can really shrink a playbook quickly.
