Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer shared the team's plan for the newly acquired Broderick Jones during a Monday press conference.
Jones played both left and right tackle during his time with the Steelers, but Schottenheimer said he will be playing on the right side in Dallas. Schottenheimer said he called Terence Steele to tell him about the impending competition after the Cowboys finalized the trade for Jones.
"As you can imagine, Terrence Steele was the ultimate pro," Schottenheimer said, via the team's website. "'Schotty, I get it, I appreciate the phone call. You didn't have to make the phone call.' And I said, 'I did, because I respect that you that much as a teammate and a player.' Broderick will be competing with Terence to be the starting right tackle of this football team."
Schottenheimer said that Steele is "1A" at right tackle right now and that Jones "has to show that he can do that" in order to wind up in the starting lineup. That competition will begin immediately and could extend beyond the Week 1 game against the Giants.
