Guard: Travis Bright

[Aliencowboy]

This guy looked very good last night on 2nd offense.

The only offensive lineman i saw knocking people back
and on their butts.

With Davis and Gurode looking like their best are gone, Free and
Bright look like the future.

If the o-line doesn't improve in the first two weeks, they may have to
make a move and play some hungry players like Costa and Bright.

Thank you!!!

I have been singing his praises all preseason long, and have been stumped by how little his stellar play seems to get noticed. He has been the brightest spot on our line in my opinion amongst the backups, and by far the most consistent when playing guard.

It's as if people only remember the failed experiment of moving him to center, instead of recognizing the dominant performance at his true position.

I'd rather we keep Bright and cut Holland. The staff isn't that high on Holland anyways.

 

[ejthedj]

Exactly!

And yet people want to keep a 5th tackle with a knee injury over the best young backup oline we have (at a position of need).

I kinda hope we cut Barron or Holland instead, but if not, I want us to cut Young and keep Bright.

I think we should cut both. Brewster could take Barron's spot as the swing tackle, and Bright could take Holland's spot. We still keep Young.

Although I fear that we will once again go with experience, and the fact that Barron is a former 1st round pick, because they are scared. Look at the Colt's roster. Lot's of young guys starting and serving as primary backups on the line. Most of them low-drafted players.

Young to IR would help keep both Bright and Costa.

Backup tackle Sam Young, however, suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee and will miss three to four weeks

that makes room to keep Bright

It will be interesting to see if that's enough to IR him for the season or not. I think it gives us a good excuse to do so, especially if we are already keeping Barron (gag) and Brewster.

I would rather secure him to our roster that way than risk the chance of him getting swept up from the practice squad.

As far as Bright though, he is our best backup guard without question, in my opinion. Not sure why there's a fascination with Holland, who performed like a big bag of butter out there last night. He's never been very good, and a backup of his quality can be replaced fairly easily. I would rather cut him outright and make room for another player, but I doubt our coaching staff would do that. He might be the next McQuistan; hanging around our roster for years without ever deserving to be there.

I haven't heard or read anything from the staff regarding Holland. Only from Jerry, who loves him, for some reason. What have you heard?

I haven't heard anything from Jerry about Holland. What has he said about him?

I'm talking about how much Holland has been inactive in his stay in Dallas.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Yeah, Jerry has always been in love with Holland.

I don't know if it's something he figured out on his own a la Peerless Price or Eddie George, or if it's something that's coming from Houck.

the akwardness with price, george and wiley was so much fun.

those were the days.

price would do interviews and say he didnt know what exactly he was here, then parcells would completely ignore the guy and then jerry on friday would say they have big plans for the speed of price and how much he will do opposite keyshawn...

then he was inactive!!!!

Young to IR would help keep both Bright and Costa.

That is my take. Young to IR and keep him around and in the weight room while we get a better look at him for next year.

Hate to see it, but might not be a bad idea, At least he made it through all of TC.

 

[Woods]

I think Young could have a good future as a potential starter (or at least as a quality reserve) with the Cowboys a couple years down the line (as a RT). I would hate to lose him and hope we either put him on IR or keep him on the 53 man roster.

 

[jobberone]

I didn't watch the backups very closely. I'm glad Bright looked good. Holland is not bad but he is not starting material. If Bright is close to being what Holland is then I'd rather keep Bright. We may go long at OL. Not sure whether it will be 9 or 10 OL. I doubt just 8.

 

[texbumthelife]

Didn't Bright start at left guard? If so, he was just as abysmal as Gurode and Bigg. The entire interior offensive line was a sieve. Bright was particularly bad against the stunts the Texans ran.

If that wasn't Bright starting at left guard, pardon my mistake. I already erased my recording and can't go back and check.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

That was Holland who started.

I didn't watch every play that closely, but it sure looks to me like Bright's the one who got McGee sacked at 4:41 left in the 4th.

It looks like it was the RG that allowed the sack not Bright.
