Looks Like It Will Be Free

Although it’s a quiet day here at Valley Ranch, the rumblings from the hallways suggest the Cowboys will indeed look to Doug Free to replace Marc Colombo at right tackle.
Maybe that’s not a huge surprise, but Wade Phillips wasn’t very committal to anything on Monday regarding the right tackle spot. He just said they were still evaluating and he might say something similar on Wednesday, and then Thursday and Friday, too.
But one inside source said Free is expected to start, for no other reason than the Cowboys simply need to see what he’s got.
The other alternative was possibly sliding Leonard Davis over to right tackle and then playing either Montrae Holland or Cory Procter at right guard. There is something to the theory of putting your best five linemen on the field.
Then again, how do we know Free isn’t one of them?
