I like this one...He's an upgrade over some of the depth players they have now and with those guys hurt anyway, they need more OL help. The Lemiux scare taught us that.
For being a greedy bastard with average arm talent. Ain't enuf beans left to go around in Dallas Town..
A top pro who plays 3 positions is invaluable....and I feel much better about things...now they've got a back up tackle who can play on both sides and this guy....whoopee.
Huge
Or would he start over Looney strictly for potential and development?
At face value, I think it's a little of both right now...I think Lemieux is going to be a really good player, despite his struggled in pass pro as a rookie.
If I'm the coaching staff, he's going to play because he's going to get better with reps. We know what Looney is. All things at face value (and based on Shane's rookie season), I think Looney is the better pass pro, and Shane is the far better run blocker.
Again...just basing it off the last time these guys played.
Harrison, IIRC has never played Guard either. This might become a solid signing. Giving props to the front office for this off-season, but proof will be in the pudding, as they say.

You do realize Dallas currently has more cap space than NY. This had nothing to do with money.
Dallas didn't resign Looney because it has other younger options on the team.
being told what their status will be- whether they are being given the job, having to compete for it, or being brought in as a backup. We don't know, but they do.

Who the f is Dez? (Also Looney was definitely not a cap cut...he's still unsigned in July lol)

Looney being available has nothing to do with Dez Bryant or Dak Prescott.
And who is the back up tackle on the NYG that can play on both sides?
Apparently not, although his middle name is Donald too.
Why not? Same first, middle and last names; common tradition among the Irish. Both large athletic men; might be a nephew or cousin, a generation or two removed.
This is a quality move. I suspect concern set in when Judge had to truly absorb what an interior line would be of Lemieux missed extended time.
Eeh...I wouldn't overreact that far..it's definitely a quality guy to have in camp right now...but perhaps this is more indicative of the fact that Harrison is not healthy and the depth behind him at center is as raw as it gets.
might be an Injury settlement very soon.
I think the organization wants to really hit the ground running at the start of the season, and with our OL in a difficult situation currently, the dream of:
AT-SL-NG-WH-MP at OL may now be
AT-WH-JL-NG-NS until Lemieux and Pearl are a healthy GO.

Yup..thankfully Peart is cleared to practice...hopefully him and Shane are ready soon enough.

Good enough to compete for a starting position, here. He's been stuck behind some very good players at Dallas. He's 30, but but doesn't have many miles on his body.
Potential starter who has vast experience in the NFC East.
I think they play with combos during the preseason and the best players will play. Good point regarding Harrison and his injury.
Very early but Judge had some positive comments on Heggie. Not sure if they have that "protection" of a couple players on the practice squad anymore but if they like one of the UDFA lineman that could be a factor as well.

Fuckin Dez Prescott! Lol
Oh ... I was thinking he was referring to Dak Bryant.
The New York Giants have signed offensive lineman Joe Looney who started 12 games last year for the Dallas Cowboys. Bobby Skinner talks about all the scenarios that could be in play with this signing.
Apparently not, although his middle name is Donald too.
Why?
Agreed. Would have preferred they added Reiter though.

bode well for Jon Harrison.
Agreed. Would have preferred they added Reiter though.
Is Reiter officially out of the picture? He was supposed to come by in the next few days?
If looney starts a game that's because someone is hurt. I like this signing but there's no way I'd start him over Gates, or either of the 2 guards.
Odds are that he is a backup but he is a capable starting center. He was the Cowboys starter the previous two seasons.

IMO, the smart thing to do is have them compete for the starting spot.
At face value, I think it's a little of both right now...I think Lemieux is going to be a really good player, despite his struggled in pass pro as a rookie.

“Looney started at both guard and venter quite a bit for us the past 3 years. Was never an obvious weak point on the line.”

Beats me. Just assuming they filled an opening with Looney. Let’s see what happens next..l
