As the Dallas Cowboys<\/a> gear up for a Week 2 NFC East<\/a> showdown against the New York Giants<\/a> with their first win of the NFL <\/a>season in sight, there is one group with a chip on their shoulder. <\/p>\n

The Cowboys’ offensive line has faced some questions throughout the preseason and training camp, despite plenty of talent on the field. <\/p>\n

In Week 2, the team faces a difficult task against a strong Giants’ pass rush, so it will be interesting to see how the unit holds up. For All-Pro Tyler Smith<\/a>, who should become the highest-paid guard in the league, it’s all about mindset. <\/p>\n

Smith spoke to the media on Friday and revealed the goal to have the “most dangerous group” on the field. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got to be the most dangerous group on the field at all times <\/a>\u2014 especially if we want to dominate games the way I know we want to,” Smith said, per Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. <\/p>\n

“In order to do that, you got to have that fighter mentality.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Cowboys have the talent to do so, with Smith, Cooper Beebe, and 2025 first-round pick Tyler Booker as maulers on the inside. It’s up to the tackles to step up. <\/p>\n

We’ll have to see how the unit holds together on Sunday afternoon, but it’s great to see the leader’s mind is in the right place. <\/p>\n
