to build a decent offensive line? The reason I ask is because Terry Glenn and T.O. are on the wrong side of 30. I'm worried that by the time we have a decent line we'll be worrying about who we're going to need for WR's. Add the fact that we need to figure out our QB situation as well and I see 2 of our best offensive weapons never being huge contributors to this offense.

I know Bledsoe owns much of the blame as well, but having Romo scrambling around trying to find T.O. or Terry wouldn't be the best way for him to learn the position.

I don't post here much. Just come here for the great info. I also have a hangover from last nights game and needed to vent.

if you draft the right players and mix in some good vets it can happen quickly. As long as you don't draft more Jacob Rogers and Peterman's. :banghead:

I agree Peterman and Rogers were perfect examples. Those draft picks have come to haunt us. Of the vets on the O-Line we have now who would we keep? We've called for Flozell's head a few times this year. Kosier looks good on run blocking but pass protection? Gurode has played well at times. Rivera is also getting older and just seems average this year. Definitely not what we paid for. Colombo is also a question mark, we just don't know what he's going to develop into.

I don't know how many people realize it, but there are very, very few good O-lines anymore. There have been several good national articles written about that very thing.

Dallas ia having some problems right now, but so is everyone else. Hopefully, with a little more mobility at QB and some more basic blocking schemes, this team has can be decent...because right now, decent is pretty good in this league.
