What will the Cowboys do at offensive tackle?

[rambo2]

Make your predictions. I think that they will sign Eric Fisher.

Absolutely nothing, because they like their guys.

Lol, I highly doubt that.

Lol, I highly doubt that.

Well, they better hurry up, before some other team has an injury and there is competition to sign the slim pickings that are left.

 

[fivetwos]

Lol, I highly doubt that.

I don't know that they will.

I think they see the first backup option to Tyron as Steele to LT.

Option 2 is Tyler to LT and Farinok/McG to LG.

An option for RT could be Martin, with Farinok/McG at RG.

One of Ball or Waletzko will be kept around as well.

Just don't see it as a foregone conclusion that they bring in a veteran tackle barring injury.

Overused, getting old and not accurately used to begin with. Obviously the team doesn't stay exactly the same every year. At OT Collins is gone, for example.

That said, the fact we are this deep into TC without signing another OT makes the odds higher that we won't sign someone new, but you never know if they might pick up someone else's roster cut

If Tyron is out, for any length of time, it doesn't matter who they put there, we're in trouble.

I'm at that same place, even though I'm not the biggest fan of that plan.

The way they could be viewing it is that Steele-Tyler Smith-Biadasz-McGovern-Martin is better than anything any backup OT can add to the lineup if Tyron is out. Same at RT: Is McGovern/Farniok at RG and Martin at RT better than available backup OTs?

If that's the plan than both Ball and Waletzko could be kept (although Waletzko might be shifted to short-term IR after making the initial 53).

A familiar refrain every year.

Good to see ya Sassy ....... how you doing buddy?

It's just an inside joke at this point (except when it's true) . But I think it's funny, so I will use it whenever the opportunity even remotely presents itself. It's like "CHAMPIONSHIP!"

Read that the Pats might trade Isaiah Wynn

He wants to be paid next year. Would be a one year rental

Yep....I'm saying it from what I think they may be thinking.

My 53 right now looks different than I thought it would based on the preseason. Defense is so deep, I'm for keeping 27 on that side of the ball.

QB Prescott, Grier
RB Elliott, Pollard, Davis
TE Schultz, Ferguson, Hendershot
WR Lamb, Brown, Fehoko, Tolbert, Houston. Turpin (Gallup-PUP), (Washington-IR)
OT Smith, Steele, Ball, (Waletzko-IR)
C Biadasz, Farniok
OG Smith, Martin, McGovern

DE Lawrence, Fowler, Williams, Armstrong, Basham
DT Gallimore, Odgihizuwa, Bohanna, Watkins, Golston, Hill
LB Parsons, LVE, Barr, Cox, Gifford
CB Diggs, Brown, Lewis, Joseph, Bland, Goodwin
S Kearse, Hooker, Wilson, Bell, Mukuamu

LS McQuaide
P Anger
K Maher

We would need to cut a player to get Washington to short-term IR, and I'd make it the kicker. Hopefully, we're going to be looking to claim a kicker anyway. Could also sign another tackle if we put Waletzko on short-term IR.

PS would include DiNucci, Ridgeway, Harper, Brandon Smith. Lindstrom ...

Make your predictions. I think that they will sign Eric Fisher.

My first thought was:
Trying to get Dak killed!

 

[JustChip]

Nothing wrong with that as long as the trade compensation isn’t outrageous.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

What will the Cowboys do at offensive tackle? The bare minimal until the poo hits the fan.

 

[jazzcat22]

For now they will wait until after Friday’s game. Then will look at the waivers to see if any player, and not just at OT that they can get to help the team.

Remember Dallas is 24th in the pecking order to get a claimed player.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Make your predictions. I think that they will sign Eric Fisher.

my feeling is we are going to trade Hill, as much as I may want to keep him. they are show casing him by playing him a lot in preseason, and probably to trade for a swing tackle.
