Cowboys Waive offensive tackle Brandon Knight.

[ichigo1057]

LT Brandon Knight was waived by the Cowboys. I know people are probably thinking "Who?" but given the crap we have on our line do you guys think it might be worth it to put in a claim on him and see what he can do for us? I don't know much about him though some of the Dallas articles I've read stated he has Guard/Tackle flexibility. He is likely to go back onto the Dallas practice squad if nobody puts in a claim.

At this point we need to throw anything and everything at the wall to see if it'll stick.

Sure. Why not?

We're at the point we have to take scraps, might as well be scraps off of one of if not the best OLs in the NFL.

We should be looking at every single O-lineman that becomes available.

Do not touch this guy. He's just as bad as Cam Erving. If not worse. No disrespect to Mr. Erving at all.

The question is, is he better than Daley at RG or Christiansen at LT? Cam and Elflein may see more time out, and if he can play on par, we could use him. 

 I do not want to repeat last weeks experiment.

This. Erving had probably been our second beat OL prior to getting hurt. All he needs to be is better than our worst.

That was what I was thinking as well. I'm not sure where we are in the waiver order but I'd definitely try for him given our problems. Most articles I see about him talk him up though some of them do mention he has issues with Speed Rushers when playing LT.

Our biggest issues are along the IOL, so that's fine by me. Christensen was good enough last week that I think he should continue starting and developing at OT.

He's an undrafted free agent that ruined a couple of games for Dallas last year. So, yeah, have at it.

in b4 "arm's too shorts", "needs to lose some weight", "not a former first round pick", "not versatile enough to play multiple positions"

Have you seen our interior OL this year? It would take a heroic effort to be any worse.

If you fling poo at the wall to see what sticks, you're still going to be stuck with poo.

Sorry, just not interested. With this league being as OL needy as it is, unemployed OL are unemployed for a reason. They suck. We have enough of that here. Don't want more.

He could just be buried on the depth chart in Dallas with that excellent line they have.
