Byron Bell, Chaz Green – Offensive Tackles

The Dallas Cowboys have to be honest with themselves here. The team has absolutely no depth when it comes to the offensive tackle position.

It could be easily argued that the Cowboys lack of depth at this one position cost Dallas more than one game this year. Currently sitting at 8-7, that means the combination of Byron Bell and Chaz Green, in large part, cost the Cowboys a playoff run this year. Ouch.

And why? Obviously, injuries have had a major role in the poor play of Green. Combined that with a lack of overall development and poor game planning on the part of the Cowboys coaching staff, and Green is a total bust as a former third round selection. Even if he is able to regain his prowess as an effective player, his injury history makes him utterly unreliable. Even as a backup.

As for Bell, the seven-year veteran certainly has the experience you like. But the fact is he isn’t very good. And although he can do an adequate job at times, when he fails it can quickly turn devastating. At 28-years old, this is probably as good as Bell is going to play. And it’s simply not good enough.

I could see the Dallas Cowboys keeping a veteran like Byron Bell around. Especially as a bridge player. But honestly, their time and money would be better invested in a younger player with much more upside. Dallas desperately needs to bolster their offensive tackle position this offseason, either through free agency or the draft … or both.
