Hmmm, something Parcells said

[Waffle]

You need some big bodies to OCCUPY AND ENGAGE up front in the 3-4, for it to work there HH.

The irony is pretty humorous!

Do you really think Bill is going to move Gurode to NT? I'm not disagreeing with your logic but do you really think Bill has any intent on doing it? Myself not a chance

I did not post it as a prediction, nor...or should I say Nors...will I start a bunch of I said it first posts, if by chance, and it would be a slim chance, it happens.

I just thought it interesting what Parcells said about the 3-4 DL in relation to positions and how they do things to open up the LBs. Then what he said about Gurode today. Factor in the progaganda I think we have been getting about Gurode's "strides" and I threw it out there.

I was not picking on you just asked do you really think Bill will do that? Not trying break your balls here. Also no need to insult (with the nors comment) LOL

You think if I was worried about getting picked on, I'd have even brought it up?

That was not an insult, it was factual, topical, and I'll leave it up to you if it was funny.

Before trying Gurode at NT I would take a flyer on Wendell Bryant. See if a Change of scenery helps him.

I think it was an interesting suggestion, BZ.

No one holds a monopoly here on 'thinking outside the box', tho some of the ideas lately belong in a box...a wooden one.

You may be right about Bill propping up Dre just before he pulls the rug out from under him..whole thing could be a motivational ploy for Johnson.

But something else convinces me otherwise..Tuna's comments today re how he himself played Drew Bledsoe as an opponent...up the middle.

If Dre can keep the pocket from caving, and give Drew time to love pat his ball a few times...

I think he's got a job here in 05.

 

[Cbz40]

I have never known "being picked on" to ever bother you BZ.

 

[Nors]

Al Johnson is our starting Center.

If Gurode is going to be cut - I'd say why not. I doubt he has the mental capacity to handle NT but he has the size. Now Situationally it would be a hoot to drop Larry Allen in there and blow up the Center!!!!!!!!

 

[Nors]

Just had a mental image of Dat...

flat on his back with stars swirling around his head. Wishing he were in New Orleans.

Nah, it's too early in this 3-4 implemretation to be fooling around with this level of experimentation, and too late in Dre's career to hinge it on a transition to defense.
Not fair to either the team or the individual player to attempt such an experiement just yet.

I want to see Dre stick here, whether as a valuable center/guard back up, in rotation with Al, or acknowledged starter ( tho I doubt he pulls that off).

Dre's just the kind of player who gets released and then turns up in NE or Philly, where the coaches make a player out of him. A mighty good one.

Good two-gapping noses...they don't seem to grow on trees, or fall off olines either.

Or we'd see a mess of humungous late-blooming slugs converted, I think.

Who's Dre?

 

[LaTunaNostra]

Tough few days for ya, Nors?

I mean with Ellis getting Bill's love yesterday and Dre the cheese today?

I don't think either one is going anywhere but Dallas this season.

 

[Crown Royal]

Forgive me, but I find it too difficult to pick and choose when I think Parcells is being dishonest. I guess I am too trusting, but I believe everything that he says.

When he tells me there is a chance that Gurode can compete with Johnson, I believe him.

 

[TheHustler]

Who's Dre?

I believe she is referring to Andre Gurode.

Me too, CR.

And I also believe him when he says Dre is looking good at it.

Great few days, not tough at all. Appears Parcells tirade has made it clear in Ellis's head what his role is. He'll be a nice part of our 3-4 DE rotation and get some reps when we go 4-3.

Gurodabust is a serviceable backup. There is little to no chance he can mentally hold down that job. Al Johnson is a future Pro Bowler. I take Parcells talk more to motivate Big Al. But thats just How I'm reading that. Gurodabust is in a battle to make this roster.

Great news abounds as we role out the 3-4. My boy Rat is playing TE some. Canty is medically cleared today. Bledsoe is the starting QB of the Dallas Cowboys. J Jones is healthy. Glenn is healthy.

I'm in Nirvana.

When's your new album coming out?

 

[LaTunaNostra]

. J Jones is healthy. Glenn is healthy.

Glad to see you appreciate that, Nors. Those two munchkins are the keys to your boy Drew's success.

After all, we saw what happened to VINNY when they weren't healthy.

 

[Hostile]

Gurode plays better with the man in front of him, so why not try him at NT?

He's big enough, he's got a mean streak, we have iffy depth at NT so why not give him a look in practice?

We got thin at TE and moved some defensive players over on the goal line formations, shouldn't it work the other way too?

I'll go on record and say he has the same chance as a snowball does here.

I just don't see it.
