Doug Free?

[CowboyMcCoy]

It's so confusing. What has gotten into Free? For the life of me, I can't figure it out. I thought he'd thrive with Callahan, but he's gotten worse.

We definitely need some new guards, a right tackle and I think Free may be on his way out or be our new swing tackle--at best.

Makes me want to puke. He's playing like an old lady.

Free won't get benched and here's why. Jerry gave him a big long contract.

Benching him would make Jerry feel bad about his investment...and it would once again embarrass his GM skills. So get used to it: Free will man that position a lot longer, no matter what the results.

We saw the exact same thing when Jerry brought the horrific Roy Williams to town, giving up a bounty of premium picks and a ton of money. It was obvious that Roy didn't deserve to be on the field and that we had better options. But RW was going to get every down, no matter how bad he sucked.

I guess the silver lining is that Parnell will get a chance to prove he can outplay Free until Tyron gets back.

No... the guy sign 4 year contract.. this is his 2nd year year

There is no might be. He's the worst lineman on this team right now and that's pretty pathetic since really the only good lineman we have is Smith and now he's got that damn ankle injury.

I only said "might be" because the rest of them are so bad also. But yeah, he is absolute garbage out there. But the chances of him getting benched are slim to none, especially with Smith going down. We are stuck with Doug Free Pass Rusher.

There really isn't one guy on the line that doesn't need to be replaced. They're all terrible.

yeah this was a tough one to see coming huh?

after all, he was so amazing that one season he played for columbo.

[Garland powerplay]

First five picks next year need to be offensive line. Great comeback win!

T.O. says "hi".

[StanleySpadowski]

Dockery was the issue on most of the plays the typical mouth breathing fan noticed.

Even when he was beaten badly outside, you could almost see the gears spinning thinking pass off stunt coming. He was beaten inside expecting help.

I haven't reviewed the game but to the naked eye, Dockery might have had the worse blocking game of any Dallas player this year.

[CATCH17]

Doug Free has a lot of technique issues.

I don't know if he is in terrible shape or what but he is getting beat because of pooooooor technique.

all i've read is that he's a very hard worker. he just sucks, plain and simple.

IMO, Free should be put on the bench when Tyron is back. Until then he can battle the RT spot out with Cook.

We should sign Holland and cut Dockery.

Then we should put up an open competition between Bern and Killer at Center. Then take the loser of that competition and make him compete with Holland for the spot at OG.

I actually think a lineup of:

Smith Livings Costa/Killer Bern/Holland Parnell

could be average.

But Free and Dockery need to be off the field ASAP. It is remarkable that we could score 23 points with those guys on the field without a return TD somewhere in there.

Dockery is terrible and has been terrible since signing with Dallas. It's amazing he made it thru an entire training camp without being exposed enough to warrant a release. He's big, slow and has no power.
