Dallas Cowboy Offensive Line Updates

[Yeagermeister]

I'm just showing the list of FA at Gaurd this year I did not say all of these guys were prime candidates to take Larry spot.

I knew what you meant

i agree with everything you said exept that, i tore my acl a year ago and it made me better in someways it makes you hungrier because it makes you realize how fast you can lose it. we all know Flozell would be a MONSTER if he were to become motivated. Im predicting he has a very good year. I cannot think of a player who hasn't been just as good his first year back from an acl reconstruction. Now a blown acl and mcl or acl and pcl that is totally diffrent but thats not what were talkin about here.

Flozells motivation is what worries me the most about his injury.

Are we going to have "let's gt rid of LA threads" all off season now because of a reporter. I think LA is still serviceable, and what are you going to do, spend 4 mil to save 3.5. If you replace him, you need a guy that will be there long term. That will cost, if he is good. Your not going to get a min wage player to be as good. Unless you want to take a chance. And that is not what we need. We took too many already.

Keep LA, or restructure, back load it, knowing he won't be there (don't the Redkins do this and get away with it).

LG and LA is NOT the OL problem, or a CAP problem.

Well, I guess it will be better than the standard let's get a QB or coach thread.

Your right but at least you can sign a FA to a contract over a period of years, Allen does not have years left in him I'm not sure if he has 1 full season left in him. You can spread the cost of a contract over a period of time with the 1st year being very cap friendly. I just think this is something Dallas should do instead of wasting money on a player who played poorly. DT who had any quickness at all were able to leave larry flat footed and hugging air.

I'll take Steve Hutchinson for $500, Alex.

Really, though, our OL is in trouble, moreso than most people want to admit.

Gurode was drafted ahead of Bentley.

Out of all these FA you guys are trying to tell me none are as good as Larry Allen right now? I don't think any of these guys will ever be as good as Larry was in his prime but the fact remain LA is not in his prime and his play is not good and sure as heck not worth footing a bill that would make no sense.

Vince Manuwai is pretty good, and if LA gets cut, he would be the 1st guy I would go after, but Jax will probably franchise him
