Optimistic about O Line

[Bob Sacamano]

So...they are more talented and going to make the OL better?

maybe, but they're bigger and stronger, and no problem, just adding to my collection of ownages

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Jones
Samuels
Pace
Anderson
Roaf
Glenn
Ogden
Thomas
Hopkins
Clifton
Jansen
Gross
McKinnie
Light
Lepsis

Jansen is a RT, ANderson too, Hopkins? :laugh1: what exactly has Gross done again? Lepsis? McKinnie hasn't done anything, Samuels' best season wasn't as good as Flo's, it's been noted that Thomas is on the decline

I said tackles, I didnt specify which side they played on. Jesus, learn to read. As for your "anaylisis" of my choices, I wont delve into it, you obviously dont even know who half those players are.

Samuels' best season wasn't as good as Flo's,

Emmitt Smith's best season wasn't as good as Shaun Alexander's....

 

[Stash]

I don't think the Dallas line will be among the Top 10. That's too optimistic.

But I don't feel they'll be thye trainwreck that ended the season either.

I think the truth lies somewhere in between.

They won't be worldbeaters and a team strength, but they won't be the achilles' heel they were last season.

If nothing else, the team has options they didn't last season.

And here's some food for thought:

Bledsoe was on pace to have a great season when even a "mediocre" line was intact.

Projecting his numbers "Pre Adams injury" over the entire season, he would have ened up with:

29 TD's 11 INT's 4,432 yards

Not suggesting it would have happened, merely that it could have.

And that was behind a line widely-regarded as subpar.

Who is Hopkins playing for?

Since he's so good, he must be playing for someone right?

Who is it?

Watching you debate, HH31, is like watching a kid with no arms in a slap-fight. I don't want to watch. I feel guilty for laughing. But I just can't help myself. It's awesome.

Pace, Ogden are clearly better. Outside of them - a few have had better years but none are clearly better. The Hotel is probably about 8th or so.
BUT NO WAY are several of them mentioned- like Jansen, Hopkins,Clifton, and others - are as GOOD as the Hotel.

That was cold!

Thought it was just me... :

Yes, sometimes things just dont make sense. Like Parcells running the ball on 3rd and 8, for instance.

You have a very simplistic view of coaching.

If ignorance is bliss, you must be one happy camper.

 

[Alexander]

I am familiar with Columbo- he was doing well untill his injury. AND HE HAD the talent and was a legitimate first rd pick. He has spent several years rehabbing AFTER the Bears team doctor MISDIAGNOSED his injury.

Actually, Columbo was viewed as a slight reach at the time. Chicago was panned for the pick and thus far, it looks like the critics were right.

Make no mistake, this is a shot in the dark, not some sure thing. I don't care how impressive he is on the racquetball court.

Who is it?

He officially retired yesterday.

 

[WoodysGirl]

He officially retired yesterday.

I wanted HH to respond, darn you.

I'm sure you ruined Stash's fun, too.

 

[boysfanindc]

He officially retired yesterday.

I think that was his point!

 

[burmafrd]

I have seen the scouting reports and MOST of them had Columbo middle or late first rd. I was living in the midwest at the time and most thought it was a good pick. At the worst he was a high 2nd rd pick. So the TALENT was there- physically. And this guy had no personality dings either.

I would say that the difference between a RT and LT is huge. Tackles look much better playing the right side where they usually do not face the opposing team's top pass rusher and have help from the TE. I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable replacing Adams with any RT.

Thanks a lot, killjoy...............

Don't forget, now, Flo is adequate but not elite! Any good right tackle could be as good, right?

He retired, and he's still better than Flozell Adams. You seemed to have let the point escape you.
