The Dallas Cowboys offensive line play in 2020 was nothing short of a disaster. The injuries piled up so quickly players who never should have taken meaningful snaps played for huge swaths of the season. If it weren’t for the gaping holes on the defensive side of the ball the front office might have selected a lineman earlier, instead gambling on Josh Ball.
Ball will follow in the ignominious footsteps of talented NFL players with an ugly and checkered past that can’t be ignored. It also puts his job security on uneven footing, as one misstep could signal the end of his career.
