Steele at LT

[superonyx]

Are you serious lmao. This the best we could come up with this week? Not only did he suck at RT we decide to move him to LT and protect Daks blindside? Yeah I feel for Dak today. Cowboys offensive line situation is terrible and he will of course get the blame. I mean a undrafted FA rookie protecting his blindside. I would of thought connor williams would of given that shot but for some reason the cowboys do not want him to move from the guard position which he gets thrown around in (aka too weak).

Seriously makes you wonder about Connor Williams ability. We all think he would be the natural tackle but the refusal to move him tells me he sucks as a tackle. Blind side Tackle is the most important position on the line. When you are playing Steele at LT instead of a Williams it says a lot.

Knight was better than Fleming in that game.

Can we get an exemption to allow 12 on offense and use 2 LTs...

 

[jblaze2004]

This is a crazy year. Only Week 2. We are without both starting tackles and the back swing tackle. lol Throw 2020 in the trash.

What could go wrong?

What issues?

Coaches prefer to avoid moving starters from other positions.

I'm certain that they don't want an inexperienced player next to Looney.

Maybe if they really sign Ron Leary to play OG they would consider CW at OT.

We don't even have the TE's to realistically use max protections today.

Honestly...……..if the Cowboys game plan today is NOT to get the ball out quickly in the passing game, then they will never do it.

Don't we still have Belldozer?

No harm in admitting things are dire. I thought you were going to try and talk me into the fact that our line is quality right now.

Im curious to see that good defense you described do their thing today.

Lol Archer all over the place

Cuz Looney is so good and all.

They seem to really like Steele a lot. I'm sure this is probably sooner than they wanted, but he might be that swing tackle we've been looking for.

i remember hearing teams favored Steele's athletic ability and length. Problems were his techniques, footwork and strength core and ability to
anchor were horrible.

- He struggled mightily at the Senior Bowl
- He struggled at Cowboys training camp.
- And he had his struggles last game too.

And its a reason why he went undrafted. But i heard Cowboys gave him a big bonus to sign with them as undrafted rookie.

From penthouse to outhouse in less than a month. Wow.

Big difference between the offseason and the regular season. The Cowboys have won a lot of games, division titles and even a few SB’s on paper.

 

[Teague31]

We will be lucky to keep this one close.

I'd recommend a one day ban for the OP. Send a message.

Cuz Looney is so good and all.

Do you even read the posts that you reply to?

I said they probably do not want an inexperienced player next to Looney.

That means because Looney is not that good.

I just read he was a standout at the Senior Bowl. Which source said he struggled?

Trying to figure this cat out!!!

Might be?

He is it whether we like it or not.

I would agree if we were talking about Z Martin. But when it’s a guy who played Tackle in college and has gotten his arse handed to him for 2 years now at guard, he doesn’t seem to be an immovable player.
