Sportsday:
I have to give Bryan Broaddus of ESPN Radio and CBS Sports credit for this one, but he points out that Atlanta's starting right guard is a former Cowboy, Harvey Dahl.
Dahl did not pop up in my memory at all, but he was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Nevada-Reno in 2005 ... and cut before training camp began. After some time in NFL Europe and on San Francisco's practice squad, he found a home in Atlanta.
Dahl started all 16 games last year and the first five this year.
From 2005 on, the Cowboys have drafted six offensive linemen and only Rob Petitti (sixth round, 2005) started a game and Petitti was gone after that one season.
