Don't get me wrong I know the kid is a rookie and switching from LT to RT but come on man, don't be whinning like that. Be a man. I am a huge Dallas fan and almost as big of a Pitt Panthers fan and as hard as it is for me to admit I'm almost ashamed to admit the latter after this sideline show from sunday night. I see Rob's dad posts here and I don't mean this to offend him, hell if Rob was my son I'd be proud as hell too. That being said, we definately need an upgrade at RT. Mr. P, get your kids head straight get his *** in the weight room this offseason andworking with the coaches. It'd be great to have a 6th rounder starting at RT, but only if he was worthy of wearing the "star" not if he's the only option. What's the deal with this clip from the game?

I don't know what you see in that clip that is problematic. The guy is frustrated. Would you prefer a player who didn't care?

He's saying he's needs help. He's not *****ing or anything.

Tucker looks like he coughed and put his hand up out of politeness to me. Neither look mad. Just look to be discussing something that concerns both of them. No facial anger on either guy. They play on opposite sides of the line so though Rob clearly says something about "help" it isn't necessarily directed at Tucker.

But my god he has a TE helping him 50% of the time what's he want a 2nd right tackle to play beside him. We were playing the flipping rams not the garsh dang Gints.

Yeah well, he was playing against Leonard LIttle not Phillip Daniels. Leonard Little had an off year, but is a pro-bowl DE if you didn't notice before.

But having said that, yeah, Petiti needs lot of improving. I have faith that with his heart and work ethic ( at least seems like he has good work ethic, from the way BP kept him at RT), he should be much improved in the offseason, hopefully anyway.

You know, here is a guy playing the last series of the season, and he's pissed that he can't contain his man. A saw other linemen just accepting the butt-kicking. Here is a guy who doesn't like it and is letting folks know that. I like that a whole lot more than seeing an OL guy with his hands on his hips looking down at his sacked QB or stuffed RB.

looks like the clip starts when he's already in mid-sentence

but it looks like the clip shows him saying " ..what ****ing happened"

or "...****ing help"

actually I don't think Pettitti was "attacking" Tucker... it looks like he might have been saying "where's our ****ing help" meaning the TE's probably weren't running their man off that well

What about moving Pettiti and Tucker to guard? A year in the weight room might give them the strength they need to play the guard position in the 2007 season. They both play their hearts out, and play the game with passion. However neither is quick enough to play tackle. I think both could good be really solid guards in the near future. Both do their best work when their man is in front of them. The thing I like about both of them is that they play the game with a lot of emotion, both care about their teammates and letting them down.

Wow. This board is down on a guy for actually discussing the play? With 11 seconds left in the game, Rob is discussing the last offensive series. Yeah, much rather have someone who has checked out.

Our OL is full of guys who show no emotion at all. We need guys who will show a little fire like Rob is doing.

Tucker is athletic enough to play Tackle.

Just not smart or consistent enough at times. Moving him to guard won't help.

Might be an option for Pettitti, but I'd like to see what he looks like next TC after a year in the conditioning program and working on his footwork before giving up completely at OT.

aberson, don't quote me and then use me as an example of the crowd that are "down" on Pettitti for being visibly frustrated

I vehemently defended Keyshawn (and usually do) when he was pissed on the sidelines a couple of times this year because I want our players to get pissed off and frustrated and act like they care... and I have no problem with Pettitti doing it

just one question for you. did you defend Keyshawn to or do you have your own agenda with Pettiti?

Tucker played guard in college and was pretty good at it. Guard is much easier to play than tackle.

Agreed. The word after "***ing" looks like its "HAP" rather than "HELP".
