Roster Competition Can Build a Winner for Cowboys

...Another thing Garrett preaches is competition, something the Cowboys have done a great job of building in the last few years. In 2017, the depth of the team is outstanding and there will be competition all over the field.
Now, the offense looks pretty much set, but there will be competition in training camp. Starting spots at left guard and right tackle will be up for grabs, with La’el Collins, Chaz Green, Jonathan Cooper and Byron Bell trying to lock down two starting roles. These will be some of the best battles this summer and it should make each player better. Those who don’t start will have worked hard to secure a valuable role as a backup, hopefully without much drop-off.
However, those are not the only places on offense where there will be competition. Backup running back seems set with Darren McFadden and Alfred Morris but that is not necessarily true. The Cowboys drafted Ryan Switzer and added Jahad Thomas out of Temple as a rookie free agent, to battle for a place on the roster. McFadden isn’t the model of health and Morris seemed to fall out of favor with the team late last year, so neither is safe behind Ezekiel Elliott. There will be a fight for carries...
