I would love to be rid of him. I am rooting for Travis Bright so bad I can't even tell you. The team sees something in him that I don't. I'll be damned if I am going to whine about him being on the team when every team has guys just like him.
I honestly want two thing sin the upcoming Draft. A dedicated Return man who can help elsewhere if called upon, and OL depth. I don't care if we ignore Defense completely. They were #2 in the NFL in 2009 and I think without even making a move they can improve on that just by virtue of the maturation of Spencer.
But I really dislike our backup OL outside of Free. Brewster and Bright I have hopes for. Holland, Preston, McQuistan, and Procter I simply don't. I'd love for us to land Iupati and start him with Kosier being the top OG backup and Bright in the picture instead of Holland and Procter.
Hostile, here's the thing. We both don't like proctor as a player, and we both want off the roster. We agree there. Yeah, there are other backup offensive linemen who are not very good. However, Dallas has seen this guy play extensive time at guard. They won that infamous Giants game where Proctor didn't come out of his stance, but Tony Romo took a beating. Gurode had to worry about Proctor on his left, and as a result, Davis was attacked with delayed blitzes. Proctor was a big reason why Romo took so much punishment in 2008.
I've only seen him two times, at center, in a real game. Furthermore, the running game disappeared in both of them. Marion Barber couldn't even get to 1,000 yards, because Dallas had like 1 yard rushing in Washington that day.
It's just my opinion. If Proctor is on this team next year, the Cowboys are taking a big chance on losing playoff positioning if something happens to Gurode. I don't think the player is good enough to get Dallas through 3 or 4 games at center without some major problems that could cost you a game or two or your QB. If he has to take over and play like Free did last year, the Cowboys are in big trouble. The Eagles have some big guys inside, and we all know how the Giants and Eagles love to bring heat, inside, right at the center or heart of the offensive line.
That is why I want Pouncy.
Losing Gurode could doom this team's Super Bowl hopes if Proctor has to take over at center. Now, you could say the same thing about other players. I sure don't want anything to happen to Andre Gurode. I'm a big fan of his. I've defended him, but you have to be ready for things like that. If Dallas settles on Procter, after what I've seen of him on the field, and he has to play, Dallas will pay. Plus, they will have no one to blame but themselves if that is the case, and I don't want it to be. I just want some real talent behind Gurode that could challenge to start at LG while Gurode is going to Pro Bowls. That is just my opinion.
I wouldn't be surprised if Dallas traded out of round 1.
We need a kicker, too.
