**Tommy:** I would honestly say neither. I don't think any guards are changing at either position, I just think this coaching staff is rewarding guys that are simply playing better and deserve more reps because of the way they're playing.
Now, does that somewhat still send a message to guys like Ezeiruaku and Ferguson? Sure, because they're not playing as much, but it's never a bad thing in my opinion to light a fire under a player that you want to see a little bit more from, especially when you've invested as much as them as the Cowboys have with those two.
Plus, Spann-Ford and Lawrence are two young players that are still getting better. Giving them more opportunities to go out on the field and improve is only a good thing for the depth and the future of your team because of their youth.
