Cut Doug Free

[LocimusPrime]

Typical after a loss knee jerk thread.

My knee is jerking like crazy. Must be the dang weather

 

[NeonNinja]

Just give him help in playoffs. However, might be a good idea to get Collins some reps.

Nothing causes a knee to jerk more than a loss.

 

[Sportsbabe]

Bring up Collins to play RT. It can't possibly be worse. Dude is flat out awful. We are going to have to give him help on every single snap in the playoffs. Brandon Graham beat him like a rented mule the entire game. Just brutal

He was turrible today.

 

[pugilist]

i don't know who was worse, Sanchez or Free

 

[lukin2006]

We'll be fine with him in the playoffs.

The biggest problem with our line is sometimes our quarterbacks expect to have 10 seconds to pass.

I do think our QBS sometimes need to get rid of the ball quicker.

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

He is an average rt at this point that went up against a good dline. It probably didnt help having escobar next to him blocking either.

 

[CWR]

Sounds like I missed out by not peeking in the game day threads.

Lol, I was actually relatively proud of the zoners today. Very little over reaction. I mean it was a meaningless game but still. Pretty, pretty, pretty good.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

This is silly, Free is the starter for the rest of the season unless injury happens.

That said I could see a switch in the offseason. Hopefully Collins to RT unless Green can stay healthy

 

[Chuck 54]

Those calling it over-reacting need to watch the tape. Free plays well at times, and we can hope he just didn't give a damn today, but he played as bad a game as any OL I've ever seen in Dallas. He was destroyed on both passing and run downs. I'm sure he's quite humbled and won't want to watch the tape. We can only hope his resolve results in much better play n two weeks.

 

[TheCoolFan]

He's terrible BUT he'll play a little better at home. If we had to go on the road again, it will be like the playoff game at Minnesota...complete disaster

 

[Sepia]

Free was terrible today.

 

[DandyDon52]

about free, he cant handle a outside speed rush, the coaches know this, yet dont help, like with the RB stay in and cover free's right, if the guy
gets by him.
There is no point in the RB going out for possible pass, that the QB wont be able to throw anyway.
And today with sanchez in first game, they needed to help pass protection and they didnt.

 

[Silverstar]

If Jerry drafts a RT prospect (Ramczyk?) in the 1st round I won't be too upset with it.

Might as well have 1st rounders across the line.

 

[Teague31]

Made Rob Pettiti look like Anthony Munoz

 

[Alohawg1]

Free is a liability.

 

[Stash]

There are times when he is bad. I agree.

But as long as the Cowboys are alive this season, they aren't changing him.

Next year, there will probably be a change.

Agreed. Nothing changing this year but something certainly will next year. Right tackle is a need.

 

[Bleu Star]

Have a drink. Relax.

I can't believe I'm actually agreeing with you. Someone pinch me.

You forget about Phil Costa?

 

[Jake]

I can't think of a better time to cut a starter than right before the playoffs.

This. I think a lot of us aren't crazy about Free but "cut him" threads today are laughable. I'm pretty sure the Starting Tackle Store™ is closed.
