Rob Petite redux.

Brandon Graham isnt a journeyman..

Well I'm a Free hater from way back, and wouldn't accept the 'he will be fine on the right side in 2012' theories from last year. This staff just doesn't seem like they are willing to make a move like that though, and it forces doubt as to whether they will in the future.

I don't see a change happening this season, and that is enough for me to question them.

Yeah, I think it will be two, maybe three spots. I doubt very seriously they bring in two new OGs (and an OC and an OT).

They give them sooo many chances to redeem themselves.

There's a simple answer for that, it's just a question of whether you're willing to accept it.

Because the two top talent evaluators on this team are frauds with zero prior experience in personnel before taking those gigs.

I think the staff will make move if they feel they have too. Garrett is not going to put his job on the line for 1 player in Doug Fre and believe it or not they do see what is taking place and while there is not much they can do now I think they will address the situation

Well Garrett is putting his job on the line for Free, right now. While I do think that over the offseason and camp I hope they will make the move if needed, not making the move earlier and also seeing them not make a move on Tree has to make anyone wonder about their in-season adjustments.

One thing is true, they take forever making adjustments, whether its personnel or on game day.

That Parnell hasn't been plugged in at LT and Tyron put back at RT indites the ability of this staff to recognize how to use it's roster to it's strength.

Not sure about that he has no replacement that is any better than Free. Sure they can put Parnell out there and likley get the same results and frankly I think benching Free for Parnell at this stage could serve as a wake up call for Free. I know Free can play better than he has I say that because I have seen him play much better than he has this season

Thats cool, you still have hope for Free obviously.

This is where we differ, I lost hope for Free last season. He looks just plain foolish out there, and I'm sure the defensive players that line up across from him go back to their huddle laughing.

Clove · 12-03-2012

Free is not the reason we have a sub .500 record. And Romo was not running for his life all game like most will have us to believe.

Sorry RS, they are not frauds. They are experienced - over 20 years worth of experience.

They are simply not good or even average.

I know he is capable of better, will he show improvement? I don't know if he will or not I think sending him to the bench could at least put a charge in him

dogberry · 12-03-2012

I'm looking forward to rewatching the second half of the game to see what we changed.

The line stuck out in the first half, and I didn't remember them from the second half.

He was capable, but he hasn't shown that in years. I'm not willing to stick to status quo as you seem to be more happy with the current roster than I am. If there is a way to improve or at least stop the bleeding, it should be done immediately.

Oh_Canada · 12-03-2012

Can't believe anyone can make excuses for Free-there is no excuse for lazy, weak, uninterested play.
