It’s time to move La’el Collins back to his natural position, Left Tackle since he’s Left Handed.

Time to move Williams back to OT, his natural position.

Let Looney and Xavier battle it out for left guard, I prefer Looney.. Too bad McGovern is injured because he would be part of this conversation as well..

It won’t happen but it should. Fleming was a turnstile last night in limited action.. They better put a TE over there to help Fleming and a RB...

Fleming is serviceable.

how hard is it to sit all game, then have to block Davenport in an all out blitz situation

He has a week to get it together but to answer your question he was fresh last night, that was abysmal...

It would probably be better to move Collins to LT and Williams to RT, but I don't think they want to shuffle guys around. I don't even remember if they've practiced Williams at RT.

What really blows is Tyron struggled early last year and then started playing at a near all-pro level once Alexander was fired.

This year the talk was him having arguably the best training camp of any player (completely mauled Quinn all of training camp) and he played excellent the first 4 games before this fluke injury. He basically started this year where he left off last year.

Ankle/medial sprain or something similar wouldn't be the end of the world. Cowboys have 3 games and then a bye week so he could only miss 3 games but get a full 5 weeks of rest (Giants vs Cowboys is exactly 5 weeks from Monday).

No excuses. We should still beat the packers, at home with Davante Adams out with turf toe.

Ah yeah thats huge if he is out.

That Valdez Scantling has a ton of talent though and he flashes a lot.

Adams gets open all day and makes big plays. He is Rogers goal line goto guy along with the TE.

Exactly, last night's game was more about the Saints DL playing well than the Cowboys OL playing poorly.

And the biggest element of OL play is continuity, you will only take a step back by moving 60% of your OL around with two of those positions the guy has never played in a game before.

LOL. Klay Thompson played in the 2018 NBA Finals with a high ankle sprain.


So what? This isn't the NBA play offs nor is it the super bowl next week...it's early in the season and if we want to have a healthier o-line going into the playoffs he needs to take whatever time he needs to get healthy.

Tyron was getting beaten like a rented mule last night before the injury.

Troubling.

Guarantee this won’t be a Chaz Green sub. No, nobody is Tyron, but we can manage.

I saw no rollouts called on offense unless Dak was having to due to the pass rush.

Time to regroup!

i'm hearing Mickey spag described it as "medium " sprain ankle.

Dunno what's difference between medium vs mild . immediate Xrays were negative.

Lower down on the ankle...less severe. They'll baby the injury so to not complicate any line issues on down the schedule. There are three games and then a bye week. Get by Green Bay, and then nurse him out...

There's an Amber Alert out for Chaz Green. He went missing around 10 o'clock last night and was last seen in a Cedric the Entertainer disguise in a 96 Camry.
