Head Schotts: Cowboys skipper calls out 'leaky moments' vs Seahawks' D
The head coach identified the primary area that needed work out of the preseason win.
The Dallas Cowboys found themselves struggling with a leaky offensive line during their first preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks. Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer highlighted the challenges of the backup offensive line, which failed to open running lanes for key players Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah. Despite some solid performances from certain linemen, the group as a whole struggled to move the Seahawks' defensive front.
Blue and Mafah combined for just 28 yards on 12 carries in the first half. As the game progressed, the Cowboys' third-string line faced a weaker opposition and improved. However, the team's reliance on rookies like Drew Shelton and their struggling interior backups leaves room for potential reinforcements, depending on the outcomes of the upcoming games, especially against the Cardinals.
