Lining a rookie up at LT next to a guy that was so bad last season that he couldn't beat out Connor Williams for a starting job next to a C who is at the very best "average"...
Gonna be a long year, kids.
Idk man...I've seen some bad o-line play in recent years up this way. It can't be that bad. You've just been spoiled.
Dallas had probably the best line in Football for a few years there. Now the mainstays like Tyron are getting older & are breaking down. It happens.
My biggest gripe would be cutting La'el Collins. Didn't seem to be a necessity. Just a way to save money.
It was mostly about money - there were other issues (like availability - he hasn't gotten vaxxed).
But what I find "amusing" is how Cowboys fans (like my BIL - for example) are screaming that "Cowboys
HAVE to do something
NOW" when that should have happened months ago. The Joneses let Collins go, they knew Williams was going to go, they
ABSOLUTELY know that Tyron Smith hasn't played half the games in the last 3 seasons... and all the sudden we have to do "something"?
Trust me Jack... this line hasn't been good for a few years now. And you can pinpoint the exact moment when things went south. It was when Travis Frederick & Guillain–Barré syndrome became acquainted. Dude was a rock in the middle. They haven't replaced him yet.
