Is it time for the Dallas Cowboys to shift Connor Williams outside?

To say the Dallas Cowboys are in dire straits at offensive tackle would be an understatement. Both starting tackles are done for the season. And now the third best option, Brandon Knight, is out for at least a few weeks after minor knee surgery.

Even before Knight’s injury, he was badly exposed twice by quick, undersized, back-up Arizona linebacker Dennis Gardeck last Monday. It’s common knowledge that it’s easier to play inside at guard than tackle in the NFL.
