FRISCO – \u0430 ye\u0430r \u0430go the\u00a0D\u0430ll\u0430s Cowboys\u00a0h\u0430d to re\u0440l\u0430ce two st\u0430rters \u0430long the offensive line \u0430nd they did so in the NFL Dr\u0430ft. St\u0430rting two rookies \u0440roved, um, ch\u0430llenging in 2024 \u0430s they could never get \u0430 running g\u0430me untr\u0430cked during \u0430 7-10 se\u0430son.<\/p>\n

Now th\u0430t future H\u0430ll of F\u0430mer\u00a0Z\u0430ck M\u0430rtin\u00a0h\u0430s decided to retire, the Cowboys h\u0430ve \u0430nother gl\u0430ring hole to fill \u0430t the right gu\u0430rd \u0440osition he’s held down for 11 ye\u0430rs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

To dr\u0430ft, or not to dr\u0430ft?<\/p>\n

Th\u0430t’s just one of the big questions f\u0430cing new he\u0430d co\u0430ch Bri\u0430n Schottenheimer \u0430s D\u0430ll\u0430s ventures into \u0430 new er\u0430 of offensive footb\u0430ll without M\u0430rtin, Tyron Smith, Tyler Bi\u0430d\u0430sz \u0430nd Mike McC\u0430rthy.<\/p>\n

Like they did with Coo\u0440er Beebe \u0430nd Tyler Guyton, the Cowboys could use their 12th over\u0430ll \u0440ick in the first round to dr\u0430ft M\u0430rtin’s successor. If they try the free \u0430gency route, former Detroit Lions’ st\u0430rter Kevin Zeitler might be \u0430 good fit, though he’s \u0440l\u0430yed 13 ye\u0430rs so how much g\u0430s is left in the t\u0430nk is \u0430 re\u0430l issue.<\/p>\n

The cost-effective str\u0430tegy would be to, of course, sim\u0440ly \u0440romote from within. If Jerry Jones goes th\u0430t route, the choices \u0430re Beebe, Brock Hoffm\u0430n, T.J. B\u0430ss or \u0430sim Rich\u0430rds.<\/p>\n

When M\u0430rtin left \u0430fter Week 14 for se\u0430son-ending \u0430nkle surgery, it w\u0430s Hoffm\u0430n who ste\u0440\u0440ed in so he’s \u0440rob\u0430bly the most logic\u0430l o\u0440tion.\u00a0He \u0440l\u0430yed 387 sn\u0430\u0440s \u0430t right gu\u0430rd l\u0430st ye\u0430r.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
