Brock Hoffman might have the center job locked up, so the Dallas Cowboys should consider getting Cooper Beebe reps at guard in the preseason.
A third-round pick from Kansas State, Beebe was a gaurd throughout his collegiate career. As soon as he was selected by Dallas, he was asked to learn center. Beebe rose to the challenge, even. That pushes Beebe down to No. 2 on the depth chart but his ability to play guard will be huge on game days. Due to a limited number of active players being allowed, the Cowboys could essentially have one player back up three positions, which is why the rookie will need snaps at guard during the preseason.
The only concern is whether or not that will hinder his growth at center. As Patrik Walker of DallasCowboys.com points out, he needs reps there as well. I wonder if Cooper Beebe gets reps at LG in preseason opener. Question being, if so, how many — seeing as needs reps at center, too.Beebe indeed needs to get game reps at center but it would be smart to play him at guard as well. Allowing him to get time at both positions in an exhibition game could pay huge dividends down the road should he ever be called upon.
Of course, the Cowboys are fortunate to also have T.J. Bass on the roster, who is another potential starter down the road. But having more options is always the way to go.
