What OC/RG combo do you want next year

[big dog cowboy]

The Cowboys probably can get Steele to take a pay cut.

It should be addressed. Clearly he is overpaid.

Again, Mike is usually pretty reserved in his praise for rookies, but he's really talked up Beebe when asked about him.

I think the team is very happy with how he's coming along. He'll be very good next year.

Steele is a great run blocker but struggles with quickness... What if we kicked him inside to RG? I think he could be pretty damned good inside honestly. Guyton to RT, Tyler Smith to LT (he looked great there in spot duty and at this point if he can be a pro bowl LT and not just guard we need to do it).

Beebe, Hoffman and Bass duke it out for LG and C. Probably Hoffman at C and Beebe at LG.

A month ago I think Steele to G was a good conversation to have. I think you have enough guys on the interior stepping up to not take on a project like that though….especially given that you probably have to commit starter money to Hoffman to keep him around.

Beebe is so overrated by this board. Hopefully by next season he can be an average center. It’s frightening to me that the Cowboys started running the ball better when Martin was injured. Nobody seems to want to say it but Martin was the issue with our line not Steele. The key to the line nowadays is chemistry. Hopefully the Cowboys will let the current line develop together.

Martin should have been traded last year when he decided to sit it out for a new deal.

Come on brother the only thing Jerry is trading are 4th round picks.

What is Jerry going to say? ”Uh, we changed our mind. We would rather not pay you what we agreed to pay you.” And Steele’s going to say “Uh, ok, pay me less”. Why would any player agree to that? And what would the NFLPA think about it? The Cowboys cannot “get Steele to take a pay cut”.

Hint.....he's staying at C
The only real question is RG.......Hoffman or Bass

BTW.....Steele critics need to accept he isn't going anywhere until maybe 2026. LOL....he is in just his 2nd year of 2023 new contract extension

Maybe he wants to do what's best for the team.

It's too early to decide on a combination for next year these young guys have to go through an off-season of weight training putting on their man weight and developing.
There are a few things that I am very sure of one is we need some absolute stability at the center position.

We were at the height of our power when we had Travis Frederick at center and have not addressed his retirement properly since.
That said we invested draft picks and these Young bucks guyton and BB need to pan out and be developed not go to other teams like Connor McGovern who has a better than average chance of being in the super bowl this year.

The best teams like the Chiefs and I don't believe I'm saying this but the Lions dominance and stability at center.

We certainly should have enough people at this point to field a really competitive offensive line the fact that we have as sacrificed our season for Zack Martin I will never understand but there's no reason why we can't have a dominant offensive line with the personnel we have now if they are developed properly.

Beebe gets no movement @ C........and people complained about Biadiaz. Weird how we can start running the football once Bass comes into the game.

LT- Smith
LG- Beebe
C- Hoffman
RG-Bass
RT-Guyton

Not once have we tried this combination.....Yet I bet it would be our best combination.

Let these guys have a training camp under a new offensive line. Coach, and then I'll let you know.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

BeeBee at center. They drafted him to play it and he beat out the other two options.

Hoffman or Bass can play the RG spot. I think Bass might be the better option but gotta love that nasty streak of Hoffman.

For some reason the term flexibility has become a bad word. But truth is with BeeBee, Hoffman and Bass you have good choices for OGs or OC even if you have to shuffle the line due to injury.

Martin was not the Martin we knew. He should have retired last year. This year he was playing hurt and was just not the same and it hurt the run game.

They should still be open to drafting an OG or OT if a decent one falls to them at some point.

CooperBB was All American / All Conf.

They still have to get Hoffman signed to a new deal also.

I am not trying to crap on the kid but some on the board and in the media act like we drafted the second coming of Frederick. Bebe has a long way to go. We are about to get a look at the center we passed over in this draft and I am telling you at the end of this game Jerry will get massacred with questions about trading down and missing on Graham Barton. Yes I would take him over Bebe and Guyton. Best example of taking the best player over two players.

They wouldn't have taken interior lineman in the 1st. They wanted a tackle.

Barton isnt any better than Beebe. He is a penalty machine and has given up more pressures than Beebe has. He hasnt been any better as a run blocker either. Barton's rookie year has been underwhelming considering how high he was taken and how old he is

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

Smith-Beebe-Hoffman-Bass-Guyton

agree.

This is our best chance of MAYBE having an average oLine...which is the best we can hope for.

Beats the alternative

 

[NDGAEDE]

I've always believed Beebe was drafted to replace Zack, and they played him at C this year simply to get the best 5 on the field.

Bass is good as a backup, but in the starting role, I think he's a pretty big liability.
