The Dallas Cowboys have wrapped up the twelve practices allowed during the offseason. Only six of them were open to the media, but there was still a lot for us all to digest. The front page writers here at BTB were soaking in every bit of information we could, and we all came away with our own impressions. As we enter the “dead zone” until the start of training camp, here are what several of us saw as the most significant things to be gleaned.
Tom Ryle: The apparent decision to make La'el Collins the starting right tackle.
Up until OTAs got started, the official line from the front office was that they liked Collins at left guard, and were planning on keeping him there. But that apparently changed once Doug Free retired. And just as surprising, Collins seems to be making the change with little problem, although his college background certainly helps. Now he seems to be all but locked in at tackle, and the team has been trying out various solutions at guard. My bet is that the team will give Jonathan Cooper first crack at winning the job after working him a lot at center to have some flexibility. But with the three Pro Bowl talents already in place on the line, don't expect that to be a major problem for the team once camp rolls around.
