I mean every week I watch football I see some guy who is a guard playing at tackle or some guy who was a guard playing center cause somebody was out...so not sure why Zach won't play tackle...

It just goes to show the lack of respect the players have for the coaching staff and ownership where Martin even feels comfortable saying nah I'm not going to do that...
Why would anybody have respect for a guy like Mccarthy? A known liar and nepotism practicer? I been told yall if I was in the locker room I wouldnt rock wit dude. Mccray basically said it too. Players know wassup. Bet if Tomlin was our coach hed get his butt at tackle.

Probably because playing a tackle means more money. Its more of business decision than just switching positions for the sake of the team. I know the Eagles had in issue with one of their guards last year refusing to play tackle and wanted more money. He eventually said fukk it though and played tackle I think.

Maybe in the long run for somebody who was a guard, and that position pays more than tackle, and then they move him to tackle permanently, and then try to pay him like a tackle, but Zach is in the middle of his latest deal and he is only playing tackle while collins is out. He is not getting any less money for playing tackle for a few games.

Like I said, you turn on any football game on sunday and in the first 5 minutes you going to hear about how some random team has shifted the line around. If Zach doesn't want to do it that's his business, but it goes to show you what type of work environment that the cowboys have that Zach even has the option to not do it in the first place.

It has nothing to do with the coach and all to do with who the owner is.

Not true. If Tomlin was here Martin would fall in line. Its like a parent/grandparent situation. Jerry is the granddaddy spoiling the kids but if you have a strong father the kids see/know. MM is a loser. Tomlin is a man's man

If Tomlin were here, it would still ultimately be up to Jerry, just like it is with every single coach that has been here since Jimmy.

Let me get this straight. We have to arrange our entire offense because our starting RT is not playing? So what is the point having these backups on the team if they cannot come in produce or perform decent? Are they just collecting checks? The depth on this team is terrible I fukking swear.

We need a victory this week in a bad way i feel. The schedule doesn't get any easier and we don't want or need to start down in an 0-2 hole to start the season.
