NFL offseason 1.0 thread

Well, they still have some serious studs along the line. Dallas's line gets praised b/c it is damn good most of the time and has been that way for two or three years. Collins, Martin, Frederick and Smith are all, at least, better than average at their positions. Yes, Collins is sliding out to right tackle, and there may be a bit of a step down. However, I am betting that he ends up better than Free in the long run. Silverback is the best left tackle in the game. T. Smith is a not-too-distant second.

Until they actually demonstrate that they aren't as good as they have been, they will continue to be lauded.

True and I feel that Collins is a better T than G anyway. I do feel that we are closer to them in the O line department than people give us credit for. Just need Long or Rullier or someone to develop into a good Center.

I'm hoping Roullier earns the C job & Long steps over to LG. And Lauvao....I really think he lost his drive after those surgeries after the last off season. Just his comments made it seem like he had lost a little something.
