Brian Schottenheimer noted Cooper Beebe is being moved around some.
The Dallas Cowboys are off and running at OTAs again, and these sorts of things are important as they provide not only some level of football prep, but also moments for people related to the team to speak.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer took to the podium on Thursday and discussed a variety of things, including how George Pickens is working well with the team early on. He was also asked about the state of first-round pick Tyler Booker and in his answer provided something interesting about a different player.
Schottenheimer noted that the Cowboys are “creating competition” with Booker and that he isn’t seeing every single rep with the starters. Some people will panic over this, but remember that it is still very early on in this overall process.
What stood out about Schotty’s answer here had nothing to do with Booker, but with Cooper Beebe. Schottenheimer mentioned that the Cowboys are moving several players around along the offensive line, including the player we all believe is their starting center.
“He’s doing great. Again, we’re creating competition. He’s not taking all of the 1s. We’re rolling different guys in there. Rob Jones, we’re moving Brock [Hoffman] around a lot. Moving [Cooper] Beebe around some.”
It makes sense to use this time of year to look at different combinations to see what possible permutations they can all yield as far as overall offensive line play. But is there anyone among us who thought that Beebe would line up or play anywhere but center in 2025?
This sounds like experimentation in the name of turning over every rock, and figuring out depth situations in case of injuries. But keep it tucked away just in case the situation changes around the offensive line this season.
