Bernadeau is by far the worst

Paid close attention to the offensive line in particular. For the most part, the line was definitely a big upgrade. But to me there wasn't even a hesitation over who was by far the worst.

Bernadeau gave up multiple pressure right in Romo's face, and of course the sack. He looked again completely lost in the running game. If you noticed, all Murray's good sized runs came to the left side. I don't know how to say it any other way, but he is REALLY bad. I've said it over and over again.

Leary had a couple of issues, and got pushed back into QB a couple of times, but overall he played excellent in his first game against a stellar front like that.

The tackles both played outstanding, especially Tyron. Free had that one awful play, but he handled JPP whenever he rushed on his side. Thought he played much better then both games against the Giants last year.

Frederick did a great job, all things considering. The Giants really tried to overwhelm him, but he did a very nice job. Couple issues, but he did great.

Free was embarrassed on a few plays as well. The play Romo got hurt Free got knocked down like a bowling pin. It was almost comical.

Depends on how quickly he regains "football shape". He had some snaps last week in practice.

Last thing I want to see is the staff rush him into starting and he ends up with a serious injury.

Considering he was being blocked right before the LB'er blindsided him, I'm not sure how he even tries to brace himself in that position.

In all likelihood he will be starting next week.

Bernadeau’s best play last night was when he squared up on Tanner, stuffed Tanner’s forward progress, swiped with his left hand at the ball and helped force a fumble. Unfortunately for Bernadeau, Tanner plays for our team.

You engage Larry Allen with a DE and have a LB come in blind side and take him out and I promise you it will be the exact same result.


Well, during the play at least. Allen probably gets back up and targets that LB the next play.

I expect so. Particularly since it is KC. It would be hard for the staff to deny him that start. He's going to get a huge ovation.

Honestly, even if conditioning is still an issue, I'd rather have him play as much as he can to keep Arkin in street clothes.

Absolutely correct -- that was a well designed play and Free was a bit off-balance

Totally agree.

Agree about Berny.

I loved one play from Leary though. His man initially drove him back a few steps and then jumped to try to block the pass. Leary got his base back under him and shoved back, gaining ground. It just showed good power, something we haven't had in the middle.

He has been a mess since he arrived, Waters will start this week and put him far on The bench

Leary , Livings, and Smith make up a good base to build a offensive line.

No one would have had the guts to do that to Larry Allen. I promise you that. Free is a soft player and that is why he was targeted like that.
