Cut Doug Free

[Stash]

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.

Yeah, he was awful. He's not getting cut, but anyone trying to defend his play today needs to stop wasting their time too.

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

Dirty Sanchez

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.

I'll take your word for it. Perhaps 2017 will be a year of dispassionate rational discourse in the game day threads.

Geez... over react much.

He has been a decent RT this year and nothing more IMO. Going again better DE's in the playoffs will expose him even more than he has already been. Teams we face will move their best DE to that side on passing downs and away from Smith. It's not hard to see how this could be a huge issue for the Cowboys in the playoffs.

It's silly to say Free will be cut as we stroll into the playoffs, but finding his replacement should be very high on the list of needs for the off-season.

I think that's a given. Especially since Green has struggled so mightily to stay on the field.

Lol, Ill hold my breath. Seriously I get it, Ive been good for the last 3 or 4 seasons but I used to get thrown in the dog house atleast once per season due to my poor behavior during and after Cowboy games. However, Im only a in the moment screw this guy type of curser, Ive never been one to declare the whole season over based on a couple bad plays. My poor family will forever have the memory of me standing on the coffee table and literally ripping the shirt off my back to throw it at the tv ingrained in thier memories. My youngest daughter has ridden me pretty hard though and to her credit its worked. Hell she brings out her pom poms and Im forced to cheer wether we are doing well or not.

Its almost always Free's man that slams Romo as well.

But this thread is an overreaction

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

Im glad Free has two weeks to rest. He looks worn out.

For next year, Free should be swing tackle and either a free agent, Chaz Green, or a 2nd round draft pick should start at RT.

Yeah, it's a myth that Free is above average but average looks really bad on an otherwise pro-bowl line.
He is really bad and a primary weak spot for the entire team.

 

[Teague31]

Worst starter on this team. By far

 

[Blackspider214]

he's pretty bad, but we don't have anyone better. the line is good, but it's not quite raiders or packers level.

Huh?? The Packers line is terrible.

 

[JD_KaPow]

Sounds reasonable to me. Bring a player back off a long injury, have his 1st game be at a position he hasn't played in 2 years AND have that game be in the playoffs.

The other guys will never see it coming.

They'll be laughing so hard they won't be able to rush. Brilliant!

 

[RandyOh]

Lord. Hes one of the better right tackles in the league and probably better then a few teams starting left tackles. Calm down.

I love stats...but we don't need them to see Free is a turnstile

We'll need that 2nd round pick for our d or another wr if TWilliams leaves (if a wr is worth it there).

No. He's not.

Yeah, it's better.

Jesus, the overreaction in this thread is amazing.
