Doug Free

[slotshot]

I attended the game so did not have the advantage of the in depth TV perspective , however it early seemed that Philly was getting incredible pressure from the right side. I just watched a Tivo recording and it really seemed Doug Free was getting beat like he stole something. The Eagles have a really fine pass rush, but Free's performance seemed exceptionally poor.


What is the perspective of the more expert Zoners on this?

 

[big dog cowboy]

Yet another substandard performance from our soon to be former starting ROT.

 

[Ranching]

I'd love to be able to resign Leary and move Collins to RT next year. Unfortunately, I don't think we can afford to do that.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Chaz Green should start next season.

Not Free's biggest fan but Graham was the real stud on that Eagles' D last night. Not Fletcher. Nevertheless, Free is the weak link on this OL, not Lael, not Leary.

Seemed like they through most of their blitzes to Free's side. I didn't think he was terrible. You can't have a pro bowler at every offensive linemen position. At this point I think you are looking for a younger version of Free. Green hopefully is that guy.

Chaz Green should start next this season.

Fixed

We have a star college recruited offensive line. Doug Free I dont think was a premium offensive lineman like the rest. I saw that also and I think he got battered around. He is a bit of a week link and was exploited. He did get first team all MAC. Although good, I dont think he is at the level of the rest of the offensive line due to their star status.

I believe we could save $5M in the offseason if we cut Free

 

[Bullflop]

The constant lack of quick lateral movement isn't anything new for Free. His days as Dallas' RT are surely numbered.

I'm anticipating that we'll be seeing another tackle taking his place next year, whether it's Green or who know who?

 

[reddyuta]

Chaz Green should start next season.

He should start against the browns.

His crowning moment was accidentally helping push Dak forward to get the 1st down on a crucial 4th & inches. Otherwise, his performance was nothing that Chaz couldn't step into. (& Free is one of my pet cats.. but I'm done with him)

Yeah Graham is playing like one of the best DE's in the league this season. Tough match-up for any Tackle.

But it's clearly time for Chaz Green to start stealing snaps from Free like Parnell was.

What if we cut Romo how much saving?

 

[CyberB0b]

I saw a lot on Smith's side, as well. They scheme to get guys through. Zeke even missed a couple. Linehan needs to work on hot reads this week.

 

[bsbellomy]

More discussing was watching Tyron giving up 2 sacks. I mean we already expect Free to suck.

Don't think Collins has the feet for RT.

If anyone starts there next season it will be Chaz Green.

Yeah he's already struggled with quickness in pass protection at LG. Leaving him in even more open space at RT doesn't sound like a great idea.

Yep.

I would expect the Cowboys to draft another G & T next April.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I actually like Free more than most, but for years when he struggles, it's with the outside rush and getting his hands up. There was one rush from Graham(?) that he completely whiffed on that was obscene.
