Are the Cowboys’ Offensive Line Critics Getting It Wrong in 2025?

Many experts call the Cowboys' offensive line "shaky," but that might be a rushed judgment.
While Tyron Smith’s departure raised red flags, Dallas quietly rebuilt with intention. First-round pick Tyler Guyton has elite athleticism and a frame built for protecting the edge. Tyler Smith is quickly turning into a Pro Bowl-caliber guard, and Tyler Booker, the 12th overall pick in 2025, has taken over at right guard following Zack Martin’s retirement; Booker, who had zero sacks in 395 pass-protection snaps at Alabama, is expected to become the new mainstay with his strength and aggressive style of play. What seems like instability is actually calculated retooling.

11) Can The Offensive Line Return To Form?

Guyton has already drawn praise for his footwork and adaptability in OTAs. Behind him, the coaching staff is betting big on in-house development rather than overpaying for aging free agents. Conor Riley’s return as OL coach has brought a sense of cohesion and system familiarity. Cowboys aren’t just plugging holes—they’re building sustainability.

“You think we’re broken? Keep watching,” Tyler Smith said in minicamp with a grin. NFL Network’s Brian Baldinger added, “This line might surprise everyone by Week 4.” Confidence is quietly brewing in Dallas, and the front office seems comfortable playing the long game.

Come September, the so-called weakness might just be the biggest surprise.
If Dak Prescott gets 2.7+ seconds in the pocket, this offense has the weapons to torch defenses. With CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Jake Ferguson all healthy, the trenches might no longer be the concern—but the catalyst.

Patriots superstar Receives Joyful News Ahead of Big Game Against Steelers
Patriots superstar Receives Joyful News Ahead of Big Game Against Steelers Foxborough, September 18, 2025 – As the New England Patriots gear up for a crucial Week 3 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, star wide receiver Stefon Diggs has received major personal news: his girlfriend, Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B, is pregnant with his first child. Cardi B announced the news on CBS Mornings during an interview with Gayle King. She proudly shared, “I feel strong, I feel powerful doing everything, but at the same time, I’m creating a little human being.” This will be Cardi B’s fourth child but Diggs’ first, stirring excitement in both the sports and entertainment worlds. Rumors of her pregnancy had been circulating on social media for weeks, and the official confirmation has thrilled fans. The baby is expected to arrive before Cardi B kicks off her Little Miss Drama Tour in February 2026. Her second studio album, Am I The Drama?, also drops on September 19, just before the Patriots-Steelers game. For Diggs, who has recorded 89 yards on 10 receptions in the first two games of the season, the joy of impending fatherhood is a significant motivator. Teammates say he remains highly focused in practice but is more upbeat than ever. When asked about celebration plans, Diggs simply smiled and said, “Just wait and see.” He added, “Playing for the Patriots was a dream, but having my dad give me more reason to fight on the field – not only for the team but for the family waiting behind me.” Diggs jokingly remarked, “I just hope the kid grows up a Patriots fan, not a Steelers one!” As the Patriots face a challenging season, this personal milestone could fuel Diggs’ performance against the Steelers. Fans are eagerly awaiting the game while celebrating the couple’s new chapter.
