Duke Manyweather Changed Our Minds on the Cowboys OL | Doin' Alright

Episode 176: Voch Lombardi and Bryan Broaddus open the show by recapping two of their recent interviews with Cowboys National Scout Ross Wuensche and offensive line specialist Duke Manyweather. After the interview, Duke joined the guys for an extensive film session that completely changed the way they view offensive line play. The conversation begins with Marist Liufau and the Cowboys' apparent plan to expand his role in Matt Eberflus' defense before shifting into a deep dive on the offensive line. After spending hours studying tape with Duke, Voch and Bryan came away with a much different perspective on Drew Shelton's film, Tyler Guyton's development, and the technical issues that affected Terence Steele throughout the season. The guys discuss why coaching, technique, hand usage, stance, leverage, and footwork can completely alter how a player is evaluated. The discussion then shifts to the running back room after Ross Wuensche suggested Dallas is comfortable with its current group. If Javonte Williams is RB1, who emerges as the primary backup? Can Jaydon Blue or Phil Mafah earn that role, or is Malik Davis still the fallback option? The episode wraps up with a conversation about roster construction and whether the NFL is entering an era where dominant interior offensive and defensive linemen are becoming just as valuable as elite edge rushers. Plus, Bryan and Voch preview Friday's guest appearance from Cowboys legend Darren Woodson. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
