Tyler and Zach on how rookie OL are doing

[12+88=7]

I believe the OL will be the surprise unit this year. They will over perform expectations.

I believe the front office thinks this also. This is why they have downgraded the RB position. They believe any JAG can get the job done. This is where I disagree with them. With a stud RB Dallas can have a dominant running game, with a JAG, just a running game.

I am looking forward to seeing this unit perform this upcoming year.

They look good in the classroom and in shorts
BUT how will they do when the pads come on and the hitting starts?
Rating linemen this early in the offseason really is not valid

 

[big dog cowboy]

extremely impressed so far

Cowboys building the OL of the future. Guyton, Beebe, Thomas plus Richards, Ball, Bass, Hoffman. All young bucks who look like they can play in this league.

Sounds very encouraging.

can't wait to see the pads come on!

And, when you realize Tyler Smith and Cooper Beebe are only a month apart in age, that makes the potential even brighter.

+++CORRECTION+++ Beebe, Guyton, and Smith all just just turned 23.

Quit trying to distract us with this positive news. We are working very hard to remain negative

 

[Cowboyny]

If they can hit on Guyton, Beebe, their OL will be in excellent shape for the future and cost effective.

Good to read!

Not only the talent part, but the film study and dedication part.

Run blocking, they should dominate. Pass blocking will take a year.
Still TC, preseason, will tell a lot.
Teamwide
5 weeks
Can't wait

Easily the greatest post of your career!

They have competition this year with the turnover and should make for a fun camp. I expect we'll see a drop in LT play early on, but like you believe the interior and run blocking has the potential to be better.

Wish we invested more in the running game this offseason rather than banking on just selecting Brooks. Elliott is likely to occupy the majority of the carries and just tough to get excited about the potential of splash plays from RB.

As cynical as I've been since GB throttled us, I think this draft is going to be bountiful for us.

Yeah that's probably my biggest hang up right now. Of course we need DT help, but i imagine we can find someone to occupy space. At 3 tech, I'm hoping Osa has a career year seeking that contract.

Sounds very encouraging.

I agree......thanks for not posting, "que the negative posts"

If you're patient maybe we can get a chance to respond positively in the future

Of course, but I'll take Martin's endorsement nonetheless. It's a good start, and that's all we can ask for currently. Let's not pretend we haven't drafted complete morons and lazy players before. At least we can rule that out.

 

[Bullflop]

I see this season as one what might very well prove that a dominant OL is the key to offensive success. We drafted rookies that are quite likely to make that a notion that prevails for a good while. Yet, I'll be hoping that an additional RB will serve us well after the final cuts have been rendered.

 

[DoctorChicken]

I think there will be some growing pains with Guyton.

Beebe was probably the most plug-and-play interior linemen in the draft. I think he will instantly be as good as Biadasz.
