So Steele and Jones Competing at RT with Steele the current 1A and Shelton the backup at LT? Is there really a chance they put Shelton in at LT if Guyton goes down week 1? I wonder if the plan until Shelton is ready is really to move Tyler Smith out and play Bass at LG.

They would put Jones in at LT. He is better on the left anyway.
I fully expect Shelton to suddenly have a strained back that lands him on the IR real soon which allows Morris to get kicked up to the 53. Shelton is unplayable this year, but maybe an NFL offseason and 15-20 pounds of muscle changes that

Our coach from the start was all about culture and competition. As a long time Dallas fan, I can see the difference in the culture department. Keeping competition in play is smart. This team seems to ALL be pulling in the same direction. The team leaders are dialed in. What's not to like?

Our coach talked about the last few days being the hardest part of coaching. I could be wrong but I think every player believes him when he says it. #leader

IMO, Smith should stay at LG. The 3 we have up front should be set and Dak counts on those 3 exclusively.

He is winning me over. I saw some major issues last year.

I agree. I'm just going off of Schotty's comment that Jones is only a RT and Shelton is the #1 backup at LT. I don't believe him that Shelton comes in week 1 if Guyton goes down when he knows, we know and the whole world knows a Dak injury ends our hopes for the season. On a related note, I do think we get better play from Guyton. I won't bank on it until I see it of course after how horrible he has been in real games two years straight, but if I had to guess I would say he takes a decent sized leap forward this year and is at worst playable and with a little luck...

Schotty (and Adams) has been great since day 1 and was never the problem. This team had to be, as they say. torn down a little before it could be built back up. The only thing he did wrong was not step in and tell his DC to get certain guys off the damn field when anyone who watched the games could tell they didn't belong there and to not be able to say anything but every guy was the greatest at everything. This year, less ping pong and more football...

not all that shocking.

the best thing will be the defensive leadership changed. Coaching and players.

I too am seeing a culture shift. They are getting rid of dumb players. Sam Williams gone is just one example

Sam Williams has a 10 sack season in him. Might be the NFL, might be the UFL or it might be the State Penitentiary League... :D
