Twitter: Joe Looney close to returning to team

[LittleD]

Truth be told and a lot of people here won't agree but Looney was the best free agent signing this team has made in the past 5 years. I dare you to find me a better one. Edit: Only one that was better was Rolando McClain and even he fell off after one good season.

Jeremy Mincy was pretty good and played well his first year. I think he got 6 sacks. Probably contributed more than Looney has.

I'm just going by reports he can play multiple line positions. His versatility is what makes him a bargain. After all, La'el Collins was a left tackle at LSU and has already played LG and RT for the Cowboys.

Huge numbers of former college Ts playing inside in the NFL. That's just about your best OL playing outside. Most T can make the transition as it is an easier position to play

On March 25th? Seriously?

My thought was looney is a backup interior guy.

We had Cooper and Looney on the roster last year, while trying to make Green the starter at LG. Frankly, Looney was the one back up OL that actually didn't suck when he played.

I'd say McFadden and Morris were better signings.

Any running back who gets reps in the NFL can produce. See Rod Smith.

Jonathan Cooper literally started at G over Looney.

Forgot about Cooper

Good signing, like someone said Looney does ok...you hardly notice he's n th game, which, is awesome.

Only good time to hear an offensive lineman's name is when he blows some one up

Loony is servicable...bring him back.

I know zoners will think i'm crazy, but I think Green will win the RT job and let them do what they should do - let Collins become a pro bowler at LG. Fleming, Martin and Looney are merely back ups. Fleming provides the insurance we need at Tackle for both Green and Smith.

Collins is better tackle than guard. Not sure what games you were watching to come up with opposite.

Joseph Randle?

Really. That's who you say. Well here you go. In 6 games the year he started he was on pace for 1,000 yards and 12 tds. Pretty sad thats the guy you throw at me.

[Redball Express]

Odd. Not a big fan of carrying two guys that do the exact same thing.

You mean like Dez and Hurns?

Bookends baby.

Name me your starter at LG. Please don't mention Looney or Martin. Get your 5 best lineman out there. They messed up Green last year by moving him inside. Green is in a contract year and I think he wins the job. Collins is not a liability at tackle..he can play anywhere but Centre..just get the 5 best lineman out there.

 

[AbeBeta]

Guess no love for Looney...

This is a little surprising honestly. Are they trying to eliminate the need to use a high pick on oline> Green, Martin and Looney as the 3 dressed back up o lineman?

All the love us in the other thread

 

[Verdict]

I'm not really sure I like this move unless we don't plan on drafting an OL or it's a very low cap deal.
