I've heard 2 reports today say Doug Free has been looking really good.

1 was from Big Juicy himself Nate Newton and the other was from former NFL scout Brian Broadus.

So everyone who couldn't wait to yell bust should hold off a little while.


I also heard Nate and Broadus both say Bigg Davis looks amazing right now but he doesn't look very impressive when they line him up at tackle.

Good to hear Free is having a good camp, hope to see it in the upcoming games.

Great. Its been awhile since we had a young backup showing potential. Hitting on the mid round linemen can do wonders

One thing's for sure, he couldn't get better training. If he can block #94, he can block anyone.

They have been broadcasting from training camp.

I heard Nates Report on the Michael Irvin show which has been great ever since camp started.

I heard Broadus on GAC.

I also saw a written report the other day that said the Cowboys were wanting to get him on the field this year so they probably knew the progression he has made before anyone else had.

if free can play it will save us a ton of money and high picks in the coming years.

There have been more reports that say he is at best mediocre. So frankly until we see him in games I do not think he is worth much.

broadus is pretty good for scouting, and I think nate has a good idea of o-line play

Great news if true. This is the area that I'm most concerned about this season.

Early on, yes.

But lately, I've read a lot of good things about Free.

And his ilk.

Basically all the guys who couldn't wait to scream "bust" at the first given chance.

Timmy Mac's logic runs like this: "If Free is a player then why practice L Davis at RT?"

That is the extent of his knowledge on Doug Free.

This would be the best thing I've heard all camp if true.

Our OL depth is woeful and it's basically malpractice on our GM's part for not doing more to upgrade a unit that was a weakness last year once Kosier was injured and is one injury away from being right back in the same situation.

I really hope Free turns out to be a player.

I hope to heck that free is lights out. We certainly need some backup 0-line.

But I do find it a bit strange that if Free truly is looking that good that its not showing up in the camp reports posted here. Not that any of these writers are the definitive eye but I'd certainly think it would register a blip.

I try not to get too excited or too depressed about any single report. Lets see stuff happen consistently.

This is music to my ears. I really respect Nate Newton's opinion on these things.
