Cowboys will learn even more about their OTs this weekend

[Chuck 54]

As if they didn't already know how good Free is and how bad Columbo is, now they get a full 60 minutes of FREENEY and MATHIS.

I know what I expect from Columbo...he'll need help.

I just hope Free doesn't take a step backwards and raise more questions.

alot of players struggle vs freeney he basically pass rushes every play run or not.

I must say that I am curious about our O-line play the rest of the year. Not suggesting they are suddenly a strength and they certainly have their moments or stretches of bad play but we've been able to manage around their weakness to have a respectable offense for 3 weeks running now.

I must confess I am a bit surprised by that with Kitna back there.

I think Free will be ok. Colombo will probably get some help as someone suggested. They will give up a few sacks but they will do ok. It's our defense that worries me. Our pass rush is more problematic.

I tend to agree about the pass rush. It makes our DBs very vulnerable.

The O-line needs to get some Nasty going against the Colts. I think the Colts team is not a "tough" team. Hell, they may be less tough then the Cowboys.


Get the Nasty going, and it could turn out to be a game. Come out flat. Peyton and Co. are gonna walk all over them.

will be interesting to see how Free does against Freeny. The Hotel did not seem to have much trouble every time we played the Colts.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

If Free gives up a sack or two I'd call it a win... Freeney is a beast.

 

[basstapp]

I think the other side of the ball, there line is pretty terrible as well so ware and spencer and ratliff should have a pretty good day.

 

[TD-33]

According to Houck both of the Dallas tackles will need help. Not really surprising given Freeney's motor and speed.
I'm sure they will at least chip early if not double him.

 

[Shinywalrus]

I'm sure they'll slide help both ways at times. Free may be slightly more effective against speed rushers than bull rushers, but it's not dramatic.

His worst game was against Aaron Kampman, I think - Kampman's a complete pass rusher (or was with two working legs) with a pretty good roster of speed and bull rush moves.

After that, Umenyiora seemed to have some success against him. He's fast for a big dude, but I think his best moves are power moves to the inside.

Will be interesting to see, especially with Kitna back there.

Doug Free's a good tackle regardless of Sunday imo. Dwight Freeney once made the great Jonathan Ogden look like Jacob Rogers in a game. It happens, especially when the Colts are at home.

Yep...
