Waters might be a fit in Dallas.

According to Jerry, the Cowboys are not looking for another guard. Considering their situation, that’s pretty inexplicable and might end up being an enormous mistake.

While many are freaking out over the problems caused by Terence Newman’s injury, the ‘Boys might be even more thin at another spot — right guard.  With the release of Leonard Davis, they put their faith in Montrae Holland.  Unfortunately, Holland should probably never be anything more than a backup.  Arguably, he is their biggest weakness heading into the season and needs to have a good camp as much as anyone on the team.  So, the news that he is missing practice because of a back issue is extremely disconcerting.

With Andre Gurode’s health also looking questionable, right guard becomes that much more important.  It’s never a good idea to leave your offense vulnerable up the middle, and, if Phil Costa is having to play center, it would be wise to bookend him with a couple of veteran guards.  Not to mention, right tackle will be a rookie, making it almost unconscionable for the Cowboys to start another rookie, David Arkin, right next to him.  With that in mind, perhaps it’s time for the Cowboys to do something they’ve should’ve done a week ago — sign another guard.   They don’t need to make any long term commitments, but they do need a one year bridge to buy time for Arkin.
