Problem with running right, the gnats stacked the box to the right and there will be lots of 3rd and long.

Isn't there are rule about that, unless its bereavement, birth of a child type of situation, if a person practices a little he is questionable, if he does not practice it is doubtful.
No, it's just supposed to be that "Questionable" is 50-50 to play, "Doubtful" is I forget but 75-80% unlikely. If guys are questionable but practicing on a limited basis on Friday, they almost always play. If they're questionable and not practicing Friday, they rarely play.

They better start Chuma or Bass. I love Richards as a tackle but he was getting absolutely handled by 3rd stringers in preseason as a guard.

I guess the reasoning is Bass played right side all summer and Richards played left side. Bass is probably the better option long term but asking him to switch sides and be ready in three days is unrealistic. So they will likely start Richards at LG assuming Tyler Smith is out.

If one of them are out, but the other can play, play well and play the entire game. Then I am
Not too worried about it because I think they can overcome.

If they’re both out. It could get ugly on offense. But I would still have faith the cowboys can win because the cowboys defense is very capable of getting turnovers and limiting the giants offense.

Let's see the wisdom of Mike Solari.

:popcorn:
Do you think that will solve the problem if Tyrone or Tyler can't go? What I was afraid might happen may happen with the oline. And then what did Jerry and company do? They went and drafted a tight end that could have problems from an injury in the past. I'm telling you, the management of this franchise is lousy indeed if this happens.

It’s a bit wishful thinking to believe that missing your starting LG and starting LT won’t make much of a difference.
They’re better at pass protection my point is the back up some better blocking getting after the defense. Wishful thinking no it’s just with the squad differences . The preseason was about running. And that’s what they did it with the backups.

Shhh......careful rightfully criticizing this front office. The excuse-laden attackful fanatics are on the prowl.

Yeah, losing both starting tackles is no big deal LOL

There is being a blind homer and then there is being Whirlwin
Never said it was no big deal, don’t be so dramatic. I said it shouldn’t matter that much in the run game.
