What if...his replacement comes in and the offense just happens to go off for a big win. 

Then Collins comes back and they play like dogshit on Thurs night. 

Then what happens??!!??!!

It get you're joking, but I'd like to have them see if Charmin can play RT.

Wonder if Smith would get a crack at it if LC misses time. He's been used as a 6th lineman.

My guess would be D'Ante Smith. 

[Tony]

Does it even matter at this point? They can't be much worst..

Hope he gets better soon.

[Big_Ern]

Remember the good ole days when we had Andre Smith...

So it must be coaching that regressed him ?

And he's been on the ground as much as Burrow in these 1st 2 games. Don't know if he's having problems with leverage, footwork, the back or if it's just conditioning...but he's getting moved / thrown around more than you like to see and definitely not finishing plays like he has throughout his career.

Jumping the gun again Tony geez, and this isnt true for most Cowboys fans. I know may and this is not a popular opinion.

When was the last time we had a guy withe a 95.6 run block grade?  LC will hopefully be fine.

What's weird though is that in the run game he is still grading well and getting excellent push. I don't know enough about OL to tell you difference in how the back effects run blocking vs pass blocking but obviously something is off with his pass blocking technique. Whether that's from the back, footwork, conditioning, etc like you shared who knows.

Goodberry in his analysis said exactly what La'el is doing - not bending enough and extended too far over his feet. It's why he is falling down so much - he is lunging.

Dude doesn't have the drive.. That's the knock. You see him out there? He's slow AF.. Always dinged up too.. I hate the pickup. Wish it was Armstead ...

[THE PISTONS]

Armstead was like twice the price.

Looks worth it so far, but he has extensive injury history as well. We’ll see if he can make it through the season.
