At this point I wish we did neglect CB and go heavy O-line just so we wouldn't have to put up with his constant in-hindsight whining.

As a fan, I have the luxury of saying I can live with a year of bad O-line play to see our historically awful secondary get cleaned up. Romo probably feels differently though, lol.

Holding my breath on contract talks. Hopefully we can get something done.

Cook 20th out of 36 centers rated.

Based on overall pass protection the line is 25th.

Interestingly enough the Giants are 24th... The Eagles 26th.
Hey Michael, I just went back and found the thread you started back about midseason, with the PFF rankings. Here they are, from the thread started on 11/13:

Smith 46th out of 70 tackles
Free 60th out of 70 tackles
Livings 16th out of 79 guards
Bern 45th out of 79 guards
Cook 24th out of 36 centers


So according to PFF, Cook is somewhat better than at midseason, Smith and Livings are about the same, and Free and Bern are going downhill.

On the flipside, DeMarco Murray is probably more important to the passing game than the oline. If anything they'll need to find a viable backup rb in the offseason.
not surprising coming from you who ignores Romo getting regularly worked. Does not matter to you about busted ribs, etc.
