Columbo out 2-4 weeks

[TheSport78]

Apparently Jones just told some of the reporters that Colombo will miss 10 days to two weeks, and will definitely be back for the season opener.

Not sure if that's a good thing. I read that Colombo was working on technique issues and he obviously can't work on them now. I would honestly start Barron for week 1 and Colombo can go the next week.

Another year more O-Line concerns. Some things never change. Not to worry they got it worked out in the offseason.

I don't think this organization takes the position of OLine very seriously. We are always after the dynamic pick, but when it's time to throw or give it to the dynamic player, there are no holes or
lanes to throw.

Yeah, I've noticed from some of the contracts the last few years we try to go with cheap scrubs on the OL.

Well, bye

 

[big dog cowboy]

another critical injury. We are looking to be the nyg of this year.

Holy overreaction Batman.

There's an article that says he's been playing with some of this for a couple years now, and Jones says cleaning it out should help him improve.

Sorry, what was the question?

I don't think I even rated their level of play, I said Romo was the reason they stayed in tact so long because he bails them out a lot.

If you want me to rate them I'd say they are/were wildly inconsistent.

I'd agree that they're inconsistent. From drive-to-drive some games.

I own and milk a 60 cow, holstein dairy. Also, when I have the time, I help a local auctioneer at sales where the I can observe the different breeds, and in my observation, holstein udders seem to hold up better than jersey's in the long run. So yes, I have done udder comparisons. No offense to Daisy.

Good stuff here, and thanks for sharing...While in Service in Kentucky, I usually had more hogs than cattle. Just to keep my hand dabbling with animals. Had a hog we called Arnold. Like on Green Acres.

You probably know, they root almost always before climbing...not Arnold. I had to continually raise pen height as than darned 300 pound hog climbed over it as it was raised. I would get a call from a neighbor to come get my hog from rooting in their yard...and the fence would go up higher. It ended up a whopping five foot tall to keep him in his pen.

I enjoyed the Hampshires and Texas bred Red Durocs...Arnold was a Yorkshire.

My wife, always had chickens...and we would start about 150 to 200 chicks each spring. Then there were always the ducks in the catfish pond we dug.
Fun stuff, when you throw in a couple/three horses to play around with.

Oh, and there was the bass pond we dug and stocked with catch from the region....good times for sure.

I don't think some of us as fans realize how horendous the leg injuries have been with Colombo. His first required a year and a half to come back and rededicate muscle groups to develop again. That took tremendously hard dedication to come back from.

Last season, his whole ankle/lower leg were highly traumatized. He had fracture as well as ankle damage. He came back too quickly from that, as to full recovery. He gutted it out as usual.

Now we find out he has additionally had to carry around five fragments that were removed this trip in.

He should be a lot better in just two weeks, and then the pain and drain can now be redirected to allow him to return to better habits and make him even more mobile and probably aggressive as well.

Myself, I just won't name toss towards a Cowboy who guts it out through all the pain and violence in the interior for Dallas. Nope, just won't do it...that's one area this fan just doesn't dump on and bad mouth with continual lines drawn in the sand. (this not directed at yourself)

I slightly disagree. Just going by recent history, Gurode has being paid, same with Davis and Flozell when he was here. Even Columbo was given a new contract some years ago and also when they got Kosier from FA in 2006, at that time the contrat he got wasn't cheap either. And don't forget Fabini in 2005.

The problem I see is that they have missed badly in the draft to build the line, (the jury is still out there for Free, Brewster and perhaps Sam Young), hence the need to hire expensive replacements.
