Do you think our OL will hold up in Week 1

There so many unknowns, it's hard to know what will happen, but this article certainly seems overconfident. The premise seems to be that since 3 of our OL starters are injured, it will be easy for their DL, but our backups at LT and LG may well be better than the original starters.

One place where I think we're likely to see some struggles from Moton and Van Roten is in picking up stunts. I definitely expect the Cowboys to test them with some stunts and a few blitzes to that side. On the other hand, I think we're well equipped to counter that with extra blockers and quick passes. When we've elected to chip with a back or tight end this preseason, the results have been pretty good. And with CMC, Anderson, Samuel, and Moore, we've got 4 really good options to take a screen or quick pass and turn it into a big play. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Yeah, missing "starters" doesn't necessarily mean much if those guys suck. Especially with a head coach like Rivera who has failed to make line up changes several times in the past and then had injuries prove that a better player was sitting on the bench behind his favored vet.

Never forget, Daryl Williams watched from the sideline while Von Miller beat Mike Remmers like a rented mule in SB50.

I’m concerned it’ll take our line time to gel with all the shake ups on the line and pieces getting moved around. Regular season is much different as far as what the defense throws at you. But who really knows. The Dallas front 7 is suppose to be pretty good this year. Historically Cam does better against 4-3 defenses than 3-4’s so we’ll see.

It could go either way, IMO. All it takes is one injury on the OL during the game and we are probably fuged because the depth is so suspect. If they can stay healthy and Williams really is back to 100%? Maybe they actually improve.

Either way, Cam is pretty used to running for his life at this point....

    • I like that a lot; Ware from Troy and also Khalil Mack who played at University of Buffalo
    • I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛
    • bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
