Mailbag: O-line built better for run or pass?

_(Editor's Note: Time to check the mail! The DallasCowboys.com staff writers answer your questions here in 'Mailbag' presented by Miller Lite.)_

_I've always categorized offensive linemen as either "road graders" (great for the run game) or "dancing bears" (better for pass protection). What kind of line do we have in your opinion? I feel like the identity of the offensive line should dictate what kind of offense you have. Curious if you think this line is built better for the run or the pass._ **– Rob Riggieri/Rutland, MA**

**Kyle:** First off, I love using both those terms as well. It's a lot of fun! It's also tough to put each of the young Cowboys offensive linemen in a specific category like this, because they were added to the roster with the expectation of being versatile and multi-faceted. However, I'd lean towards the "road graders" designation. Think of the strength possible from Tyler Smith, Tyler Booker, and Tyler Guyton. Cooper Beebe and Terence Steele can both move in pass protection but are much better with that added strength around them. Hopefully that'll translate to running the ball with more emphasis, despite some of the questions remaining at running back entering the year.
