Dallas Cowboys: How will the offensive line perform in the season opener?
By Matt Aaron
With numerous question marks along the Dallas Cowboys offensive line, how will the unit respond against the Rams on Sunday?
Dallas Cowboys‘ fans … are you ready for some football? I don’t know about you, but I don’t remember another training camp when I looked forward to the season with as much appreciation as I do now.
I mean, I’m usually pretty excited. But this year? Between COVID-19, weather-related disasters, and rioting, (I’ve been expecting hail, frogs, and locusts any day now.) have we ever needed a diversion more than now?
There are a lot of things to watch out for in the season opener, but perhaps none loom larger than the offensive line.
A week ago, I would have been a little concerned about the group, what with a new center, another starter returning from injury, and several other stalwarts held out of practice for most of training camp.
But then, one of those withheld linemen justified my fears. Starting right tackle La’el Collins was put on injured reserve for the first three games, at least.
But that’s not the only question along the O-line. Of the five offensive line positions, there are questions about at least three of them. Let’s take a look.
