Why is Terence Steele still starting?

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

My boy’s friend who lives in another state, especially last 2 games just text me “Steele”, that is all he says, I tell him yes and we gave him an extension, make it make sense!

 

[nalam]

a one word reply on why:
GM

(Stupid ) GM

 

[JayFord]

Who else we putting over there?

Do we have a 2nd round pick this year? Im not sure but if we do use it to fill his position

The Jones plan may be sooner rather than later.

I wish he could get some meaningful snaps.

Broderick Jones should be ready to replace him after our ten day layoff. I mean, why trade for BJ if you're not going to see what he brings to the table.

I was thinking the same. At that point it may be time to make the switch. Maybe some time on the bench will help. He’s a liability right now and it’s not getting any better. Arguably worse

 

[Aggie87]

He starts because Jerry thinks his name is cool.

...that's as logical an explanation as any.

This is entering Chaz Green territory. No one can start over him? I'm flabbergasted at how bad he looks at times, like he doesn't belong on any team, let alone as a starter.

OTOH Guyton starting to look consistent and like a genuine starting LT in the NFL. I appreciate how much he worked his way up from looking terrible when he was drafted until now.

Because you didn’t suit up. Their OT depth is that bad.

We have a first, 2nd, 4th and 7th, don’t have a 3rd,5th or 6th in next draft. So 4 picks unless something else happens.

His conditioning was awful. He wasn’t even able to do any exercise until April and wasn’t able to have contact until August.

At the end of training camp his strength and weight were not where they need to be.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Jones can’t be any worse than that guy.

Said that lol. Honestly, we traded for him. Steele sucks. Let's put Jones in there.

 

[blueblood70]

he and 87 needs to be demoted..

 

[starfan1]

The Texans pass rushers are really good.

Also many of the pressures were due to coverage, especially in the first half.

Steele really hasn't been the team's biggest problem.

I think he is on the offensive side of the ball but that’s just me

Thanks!

Someone tell Jerry second round find a starter at Tackle…..might take a lil research because good tackles go high…but find one that can take over that role

Steele played well today. Yes, he got beaten a few times by Will Anderson. That happens to every starting OT in the league. I thought today, against one of the very best, Steele put in some very good work.

 

[Chuck 54]

Jones can’t be any worse than that guy.

You didn’t see the DE in Dak’s lap on the last play last week when Jones was in?

 

[erod]

Can we please try Broderick Jones on Thursday instead? Surely, he can't be worse.

He is.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

The front office haven’t legitimately tried to replace him. That’s why.

Theyve used some late round picks
On tackles hoping to get lucky. It hasn’t worked.

Realistically they are gonna have to shell out FA $ to get one or use some real draft capital like a first or second round pick to replace him.

Trading a third round pick for Broderick Jones sounded like a legit effort to replace him. Don't know what they are waiting for to give Jones a try because he'd have to try to be worse.

 

[exciter]

At this point, would giving Broderick Jones the opportunity be any worse than Steele?

Jones came in for that 3rd down in the end zone vs the Ravens after Steele got poked in the eye.
Schottenheimer told Dak to throw the ball away.
What's that tell you about their confidence in Jones after a couple of weeks of practice?

I don't think he's quite Chaz Green, but at this point they have to try something different. Maybe they can try rotating linemen during the game and open the competition. I just don't think there's a lot to like about the backup tackle room right now. I would give Jones a look though.
