How bout the O-line tonight

[Doomsday101]

I was really proud of this unit, Rivera in the lineup looked like night and day as Dallas was able to run both right and left of Center something we could not do at all last season and you can see the results of their work just looking at the running game tonight and the numbers these backs put up. Pass blocking was great and the guys were picking up the blitz nicely. Granted this is pre-season but this had to be a big confidence boost for this unit heading into the reg season

Dooms, how did Petitti look?

Dooms, how did Petitti look?

Had 1 offside called on him but for the most part I thought he looked pretty darn good. We have to remember he is a rookie but overall tonight I felt he did a pretty decent job

How did Rivera look?
I could only listen and missed the beginning of the game.

the first team line was going against jacksonville's second D.
but, it was nice to see them doing well regardless.

Thanks.

Good to hear he's continuing to make progress.

Looks like he may start versus SD.

From the radio they said both he and Rob were doing great. Most of the runs were going right side for big holes and nice yardage.

Rob with Rivera playing next to him will open some holes.....they did tonight.

Peterman also had a good game tonight

I think Rivera is a big differance maker on the O-line, Dallas could finally run to that side of the line and these were some big holes being blown open by the line. Both Jones and A-Train were past LB before the 1st defender made contact on several runs.

I hate to remind folks of this but it was the 2nd team D playing against our 1st team O tonight. I dont know why by Jack Del kept out his starters on D for the game I heard.

Still some great yards.

One player who wasn't very happy with Petitti's performance tonight was Tucker. Rob has the position sewed up tight.

Drew? Barb your hipness throws me. I cant keep up.

Yep, I can't wait to see how well he blocks against Kearse and Strahan. If he can slow those guys up long enough to give Bledsoe time, we will have found the last piece of the OL, imo. (Gurode and Johnson are interchangeable at center).

LOL AnDRE Gurode?

I believe he came in 2nd qrt all in all each lineman looked pretty decent tonight the O-line in general had their act together though out the ball game. It looked as if some guys busted thier ars to make the team.

I can't either DE.....With Rivera along side him as mentor I bet he holds his own. Rob's footwork gets better every week.
