The Dallas Cowboys offense will look very different on Monday Night when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. At least according to Babe Laufenber's comments on live radio on 105.3 The Fan.
Per his insight, the Cowboys' offensive line will feature a different lineup on Monday.
Future Hall of Famer Jason Peters will take over at left tackle with Tyler Smith sliding inside toward left guard. That removes Connor McGovern from the lineup even though he's started in 15 games for the Cowboys this season and had remained the starter at left guard up to this point.
Center Tyler Biadasz will be back in the lineup with Zack Martin and Tyron Smith manning the right side of the offensive line. Tyron Smith has manned the right tackle spot since his return to action in Week 15.
After working through several OL combinations as a domino effect of Terence Steele's and Tyler Biadasz's injuries, this appears to be the final decision by the Cowboys. On paper, it looks pretty solid.
In reality, it's a risky bet to change your front five in the biggest game of the year until now. The Tampa Bay Bucs boast a pretty strong defensive front featuring Vita Vea and Akiem Hicks inside, among others, and the Cowboys know they'll need to be physical in the trenches to win this one.
Tyler Smith at left guard and Jason Peters at left tackle probably help.
We'll find out in a win-or-go-home game.
