I don’t completely agree with this one, but from what I see Nate Livings is going to start the season as the starting left tackle. If you don’t remember that glorious day follow this link to jog your memory. Felix Jones broke off a huge 49-yard touchdown run against the Eagles, and Free came all the way across the field to get into the secondary and pave the way. I keep going back to the last time the Cowboys won a playoff game. I hope that this change of scenery will bring back the Free of two years ago. If Tyron Smith is going to be the starter on the left side then it’s no surprise Doug Free will be starting on the right side.įree looked a little out matched at times last season so this move back to the right side is a welcomed one in my eyes. It looked like last year he might be sidelined with a knee injury early on, but he played through it and performed admirably. What I really like about him is his ability to learn fast, and play well even through injury. He seems to be catching on in a big way, and looks to be a force in 2012 and beyond. He can now be considered the premiere offensive lineman on the Cowboys’ roster. It sounds odd to say, considering he’s only in his second season, but I think he deserves the promotion. We all know that Tyron Smith will be the starting left tackle in 2012. So let’s have a little fun, and feel free to comment below and tell Cowboy Nation what you think. Last time I checked, I’m not a psychic, and I don’t imagine any of the rest of you are either. I can tell you what I think will happen based on my perceptions of where the roster is now and how they’ve performed to date, but in the end this all hinges on what happens next. So who is going to be the starting offensive line in 2012? As I’ve said time and time again, this is purely speculation on my part. What I’m really trying to say is all of these fast, explosive players put their seasons on the hefty backs of five guys up front. Without a solid group in the trenches, all of these breakout performers and potential studs everyone are talking about will be a bust. These guys are rarely put in the spotlight and yet they are a big part of what makes the offense, and the entire team for that matter, tick. Without a doubt one of the most crucial pieces that will determine the success of the Dallas Cowboys in 2012 will be the offensive line.
