I've long been lobbying for the Cowboys to get the ball in Leonard "Bigg" Davis' hands, so I was thrilled to see the Tony Sparano putting the offensive linemen through passing lines during today's practice.
After some investigative reporting, I discovered that Jason Garrett does indeed have a few tackle- and guard-eligible plays in this week's game plan. Please don't let anybody in New York know.
Center Andre Gurode suggested that they put him in motion, but the Cowboys have had enough trouble with shotgun snaps as it is.
Guard Kyle Kosier claims he has the best hands on the offensive line, and he'd love a chance to show it on Sunday. But Bigg will be awfully perturbed if another 300-pounder gets the ball.
"I'm a big playmaker," he said. "I'll turn a slant into a big play. [Kosier] doesn't have the ability to do that. That's a big difference."

Thats actually pretty funny. Who knew a guy who looks as big and mean as he does would have a sense of humor.

Can Bigg line up in the fullback position or is that against the rules?

Has someone who is a starter on the offensive line ever done this?

I know about Vrabel, Fridge, Jared Allen, Seau, etc. but those are all defensive players.

I don't get why we would take him off the line. Oh well.

I've never understood why teams don't use linemen as lead blockers/runners on the goalline more in the pros, you see it all the time in college. Honestly, how in the Hell can ANY defense stop a 6'7", 350 pound man from getting one yard? It can't be done.

I can see some idiot jumping all over you for misspelling Kosier's name. Get it, kosher.:p:
