Projected 2024 offensive line now looks like this: Tyler Guyton at left tackle, Tyler Smith at left guard, Cooper "The Keg" Beebe at center, Zack Martin at right guard and Terence Steele at right tackle. That's a front five that has as much upside as any in the entire NFL Going Forward..
This has Jimmy Johnson Written All Over It..
Great Wall of Dallas" line of the early-to-mid '90s as the most dominant in franchise history. The 1995 Super Bowl front boasted Hall of Fame guard Larry Allen, left tackle Mark Tuinei, guard Nate Newton and center Ray Donaldson.
Guys,We Need a Name For This OL
1. Boom Of Explosion
Serioously i dont see the handwriting of Jimmy here. Jimmy of course build a great OL, but he did not invest a lot of resources. He rather implemented a great program to bring players along. And it seems that he had great scouts.
For example, in 1992 our OL/our initial investements was/were:
LT: Mark Tunei, undrafted free agent
LG Nate Newton: undrafted free agent, signed by DC as a FA for backup role
C: Mark Stepnoiski, drafted 3rd round, pick no 57
RG: John Gesek, drafted 10th round 265 overall, aquired by DC via trade for a 5th round pick on 3.Sept.1990, didnt start until 5th game of 1990
RT: Erik Williams, 1991 drafted 3rd round, pick 70 overall
So not one player picked higher than 3rd round, no. 57.
This FO now had to invest 3 first round picks to give us a line were we can hope that it will be a good one.
And this is not the first time. Since the Garrett era we invested high draft picks on a constant basis to build a competitive OL.
Thats just bad drafting and an ridiculous spending of draft resources. Sorry for the reality check.
