Who is Managold? I have to disagree with Backus. Kevin Barry would be much better. Backus has gotten beat all year. Detroit fans are not happy with his performance.
Center from Ohio State.

Man, I was going to Stats Inc to check out Backus's numbers and I got off track and typed in Petitti and Tucker's name.

I hate looking up stats for Cowboys as I would rather go with what I saw on the field.

But dang.....12.5 Sacks for Tucker (didnt even start the entire year) and 13.5 for Petitti.

Man, that has got to be some kind of Record....

I just want to know the meeting and person who inevitably said

"Hey let's start Rob Petitti at Right Tackle this year".

What is Jeff Backus's history at Right Tackle. I always thought he played Left Tackle?

He doesn't really give up sacks, but he hasn't really run blocked very well. For where he was drafted, he should be doing much better.

You mean to tell me you are worried about his run blocking when it was the pass blocking that got us derailed? His run blocking is the least of my worries. Detroit set their Ol up for failure IMO. They went out and got all these Wrs and got pass happy. That can destroy an OLmen mentality. He will be just fine once his OC get more aggresive.

Maybe, how old is this guys compared to Barry. I think Barry is only 26. If Backus is 26-27, then I wouldn't be opposed to it. I really don't want another 30+ lineman though. Also Backus plays LT not RT. I don't know if he would accept RT money in free agency.

Well, the running game wasnt exactly stellar either and it was just a big of a problem as pass protection...well..maybe that is a stretch but it is a problem area as well.

Looks like Barry didnt give up a sack this year, pretty interesting.

I'll have to disagree with the run game. Both of our RBs totalled 1400 plus yards. I just think that our Ts were so focused on not get beat for a sack, it overwhelmed them in the other parts of the game. Im not opposed to Barry either. I just want someone better than Tucker and Pettiti.

He is 28.

I was hoping for 27. As long as he just turned 28. We need a tackle for the next 4 years in FA. Thats probably why I wanted Barry so much.

You may be the only person on this board that was satisfied with the run game.

FA1 - Abraham
FA2 - Backus
FA3 - Vinatieri

Round 1 - Jimmy Williams
Round 2 - Devin Hester
Round 3 - Managold (C) from Ohio State
Round 4 - Trade for Glover or Ellis - Quad Hill

Thats it, thats what I want!

I hate this whole list, well, except for Vinatieri and Abraham

I'm not fond of it either.... though Mangold in the 3rd wouldn't be too bad for value, but I dont think he'll last that long.. Hester in the second would make me ill!!!!
