La'Charles Bently and Jeff Backus sounds like good fits...change the hotel to a Right Tackle...we need to really balance our line our...

Bently is the best of all these guys because he can play center & guard and he is pro bowler in both .. and we cant move Flo to a right tackle because we need a good player in Bledsoe´s blind side.

What is the love affair with Jeff Backus?

Is it because he isn't Petitti? You know, someone who has virtually no chance of improving even though he was a rookie last season.

Sorry, I'll stick with Petitti rather than waste $$$ on a mediocre tackle.

That board is about dead. I used to look at it occasionally, but there are very few posters anymore and the ones that do post are not interested in analyzing the team...not that there's anything wrong with being JUST regular fans . Thank God for this board, tho.

"2. LeCharles Bentley, C, New Orleans
Bentley has good size at 6'2, 313, but it better known for his quickness. Quick footwork gets him out of his stance, and out blocking linebackers when necessary. His is lithe and swift off the snap, and is the rare center who can get out and pull. For all of his size, he does tend to get pushed around by very physical nose tackles, as his slight lack of lower body strength keeps him from maintaining position against a fierce bull rush. However, Bentley is tenacious and fiesty, and will not give up even when he appears to be overmatched. He is smart and consistent, and makes good adjustments at the line. Only 26, Bentley is better when he can get out and move, unblocked, and would fit best with a team that can surround him with Pro Bowl caliber players."



I've never watched Bentley play before, but if this description is accurate, the guy sounds like a small improvement over Johnson. They both have the same strengths and weaknesses.

No. Big improvement over Johnson. This guy can play and has little trouble making line calls AND blocking. Plus hes about 25 lbs heavier than Johnson. All Centers can get pushed by nose tackles if you're talking the likes of a Pat Williams who is probably 375 lbs. He would be an EXCELLENT addition to the Cowboys.

The left tackle protects the blind side of a right-handed QB.
