Taking A Closer Look At The Offensive Line On The Dallas Cowboys
http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2017...ith-zach-martin-travis-frederick-lael-collins




The Great Wall of Dallas entered last season with a ton of pressure because it was their responsibility to set the tone for their new rookie backfield. Tyron Smith, Zack Martin and Travis Frederick are superstars and arguably in the top two of their respected positions in the National Football League.

Tyron Smith: Left Tackle

Let's keep this simple. Tyron Smith is the best of the best and fortunately is locked up until 2023. He is the ultimate piece to complement a young and rising Dak Prescott and Zeke Elliott.

Ronald Leary: Left Guard

Ronald Leary has been in this position before. Before the 2016 season, he held out during the offseason program and OTAs while he requested a trade. Fortunately, the Cowboys did not bite on a number of offers and it paid dividends, particularly because La'el Collins got injured. His emergence as a formidable piece to an already superstar offensive line makes Leary particularly appealing to NFL teams. At 27, he is a solid guard and will be a hot commodity around the league as he enters this offseason as a true unrestricted free agent. While the Cowboys may attempt to keep him, he will receive generous offers elsewhere and will not return to Dallas next season...

Stash you are right that the article is short on insight and repeats what we all know that Leary is likely to leave for greener pastures.
The writer could have done some research and speculation on the RT position with Free and the oft injured backup tackle and also the
new need for a quality backup guard/center need. All in all, much more could have been explored which renders the article fluff.

Stash, this is the very stage of the evaluation process that the team is at...and they themselves, will be moving on to outside sources when they have evaluated their own. If one doesn't like Free, that is his evaluation. But to down a directional action because it doesn't yet confront a hypothesis that is not yet on the table...isn't exactly fair to the article and why it was presented in the first place.

Hey, if one has inside information about stock market info, by all means share that with us all...

I'm talking about the quality of the writing and the article. I don't think it says much of anything nor do I think it says much of anything well.

We should bring back LA to replace Leary:



LA was the original "Beast Mode" :laugh:
