The Dallas Cowboys are gearing up for the start of the 2023 season with their characteristic grandeur. They are set to kick off the year on Sunday night in prime time, facing their NFC East rivals and fellow 2022 playoff contenders, the New York Giants.
With their recent close brush with an NFC championship appearance, the expectations in Dallas for this season are running high. On paper, the Cowboys boast one of the NFL’s most impressive rosters, but the challenge lies in translating that talent into on-field success.
Jerry Jones, the owner of the Cowboys, is generally optimistic about the team, but he has pinpointed one area of concern as they enter the new season.
Jones emphasized the importance of having a team that can adapt when faced with an imperfect offensive line, stating, “You’ve got to have a team that can adjust when they don’t have the perfect offensive line.” He made these comments during an appearance on 105.3 The Fan.
Acknowledging that issues with offensive line depth are a widespread concern across the NFL, Jones remarked, “Get in line. I don’t know of a team in the NFL that doesn’t say that.”
In their efforts to address these concerns, the Cowboys have made significant financial investments in their offensive line during the offseason.
They recently negotiated new contracts for both Zack Martin and Terence Steele in the past few weeks. Dallas has built its team’s foundation around its offensive line in recent years, leading to sustained success.
It remains to be seen whether these investments will pay off as effectively this year.
