It was a close battle to see who was the best offensive lineman in practice. In the one-on-one drills, both Tyron Smith and Zack Martin were outstanding. Both are so technique-sound it's difficult for the defender to gain any type of an advantage. The combination of hands and footwork along with their upper body power neutralizes rushers instantly. It's difficult for a defender to get them off balance or overextended, which is how the good pass rushers win.
Maliek Collins was a beast inside until he suffered a hip flexor injury that doesn't appear to be serious at this time. During play action period, he showed some nice quickness in closing down the line to shut down the hole before Ezekiel Elliott had a chance to get through. He later got up the field on a boot by Dak Prescott, which forced Prescott wide to have to make a tough throw to Geoff Swaim --who had the ball glance off his hands and fall incomplete.
