PFF: Cowboys rookie RG T.J. Bass has not allowed a single pressure on 58 preseason snaps

[DasTex]

Waletzko to IR for shoulder issue?

Honestly feeling the o-line depth not as bad a first thought.

Center maybe being the exception.
Guard - Bass, Ball, T. Smith
Center - Hoffman, Farniok
Tackle - Richards, Waletzo, Farniok, *Peters (would sign over Waletzo)

Hoffman has been bad. Waletzko wasn't near as bad as some made him out to be in the first game, but he was in the second. Farniok doesn't play tackle. He's a C/G and appears to be better at C.

For what its worth, The last depth chart the team released had Hoffman as the back-up center

It did, but Farniok got the start in this one and played better than Hoffman did in the previous game. Hoffman has not looked great at guard or center this preseason.

Go light at LB and give him a spot of the 53. They can find guys like Cox and Jefferson on the street if they get hit with injuries. Probably better

If you have OL that could develop into playable players, you try to hold on to them

we are already light at LB. I think with Loss of Stephens, we keep three TEs and go heavier on OL depth, which we know we are going to need. I would forgo keeping someone like Gholston to keep more OL depth

The long snapper might be a good one. I believe he's vested so he's not subject to waivers. The kicker can be claimed.

You're right. Forgot he's relatively new to the NFL, even though he's older.

CJ Goodwin is another candidate.

Just keep them both.

Basically have to keep Farniok as your backup center, unfortunately, but if you keep 10 it's just a debate between Waletzko and Edoga.

Smith - Smith - Biadasz - Martin - Steele

Bass, Ball, Richards, Farniok, Edoga/Wally

Yeah keep them both. Isn’t Waletzko out for the year?

Waletzko and Edoga are both currently injured. Waletzko injury may ruin any chance he has at an NFL career (shoulder)

So the decision should be easy enough

Keep the promising OLineman

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

Not that I have seen. Maybe he ends up on IR.

Even if he is injured, they probably have to bring in another tackle anyway. I doubt they want to enter the season with him as the swing T.

Why cut thrm? We have far worse guys on the offensive line who can go:

Bass has been my pet cat since they picked him up. Maybe before they signed him . . . can't remember because I'm old and my brain is already stuffed full of so much I don't try to remember the small stuff. But I like Bass. He's a football player. Bet he'd be he11 in a pit drill (yeah, not legal).

I think he has a much higher ceiling that most of the other seconds and 3rds. My guess, unless he just lays a deuce (not a pun although it would be a good one and I'm saving it for later) in the next PS game he's a lock for the 53 .

And everyone ragging on Ball are relying on what we saw last year when they played him at tackle. Dude's just not athletic enough to go outside but put him on the inside and he can maul . . . "Ball can maul" . . . another good one y'all can pull out of the bag especially on game day threads. He played pretty good against the Seachickens.

I'm with whoever said above that our OL depth is declaring itself and it ain't as bad as a lot of folks thought. And on that note I've been seeing all these Chicken Little "The Sky is Falling" threads concerning the OL and all the "Backups are krap" type threads. Would y'all just calm the heck down (if you're already calm just disregard)! There's no, zero, naught, nada chemistry when your plugging and playing a buncha new guys, second and third stringers, UDFA's in there especially against 1st teamers that do have some chemistry. We gonna be alright! Bank on it . . . lock it!

Line is gonna be good and if we have to plug in one of these backup we'll be alright. I'm ready for some football, boys !

GO COWBOYS !

what TE gets cut for us to try to go with just 3 TEs ?

....looks like A-B plans are out. ..

..I'll keep my eye for this fella Vs Raiders.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

I bet Bass has had an easy time with that!!

Except it is preseason snaps against opposing teams.

 

[CWR]

Really!! Nice. We need offensive linemen. Hope we keep him and cut Ball

That's a no brainer.

You'd cut a good run stopping DL with versatility for one of these backup OL? Interesting.

 

[gimmesix]

CJ Goodwin is another candidate.

Him and Malik Jefferson, instead of keeping six traditional LBs. I think those players are the moving parts to keep some of these players that we don't want to risk to waivers or to get some moved over to IR, since they have to make the roster first (which I think is a stupid rule).

 

[quickccc]

I would've liked to have seen TJ Bass at both LG as well as RG..

To see Bass vs OL starters,.. rather than scrubs that won't likely even be on mere practice squads

But maybe OL coach Solari thinks that's too much
for a rookie and better to let them settled/learn at one position.
