OXNARD, Calif. -- In the last two weeks, the Cowboys lost two offensive linemen, Kyle Kosier and Marc Colombo, to knee injuries.

Gurode has been a durable player. He's started every game since 2006, when he became the full-time starter at that position.

Gurode has reached the Pro Bowl every year he's been a starter, but last year might not have been his best season.

Line coach Hudson Houck said Gurode needed to play with more technique -- instead of powering over defenders, trying to maneuver them with footwork, hand placement and arm length.

"This is a game of what have you done for me lately," he said. "You have a lot of work to do, a lot of areas to improve in, and Hud has been working on me to work on those areas."

I'd rather be in the Cowboy camp and on their offensive line with Houck, than in camp with Philadelphia, New York, or Washington.

Gurode and Bigg need to pick up the stunts and blitzes better.
