Petitti update???

[Kittymama]

Since we're already being inundated by TO nonsense from media who clearly don't like him, we're all anxious to hear any info. Rob can give you about the guy from a player's perspective. (After mini-camp, of course.) Many of the Eagles players still seem to like him, so we'll be interested to hear what the Cowboys players come to think.

 

[Kittymama]

And oh yes, how is Rob doing? Did Parcells give him off-season instructions, like losing or gaining weight? What have workouts & the "voluntary" sessions been like?

 

[Charles]

Nice thread

Is he moving back to LT?

 

[SteveOS]

Has he posted since season's end? I hope he chimes in soon, to give us a scoop.

I think I remember reading a few posts from Rob's dad a week or so ago.

I think he was talking about going to games in certain cities.

He posted yesterday in the HDTV thread...

don't know if rob has met TO yet. he has said that the players can work out at different times so that he may be at the complex when he isn't.

as for rob, he has been working out under the direction of joe jurasik since the third week of jan. first was to work on all the core muscles to strenghten his middle. next, his agility and running and light lifting. finally,with his lifting group( witten, rivera, and peterman) has been working to increase strength and conditioning. rob has made impressive strides and is much thinner waisted with noticible gain of muscle in chest, shoulders and arms. he says he feels much stronger and is moving much better in all drills and running.

Very good news.....Thanks DP

That is excellent to hear PittDawg. It should be a good battle for the starting RT spot in camp this year between Rob and Fabini.

Hey, even BP notices Pettiti. Remember he mentioned him being much more stronger than last year, not even comparable, was his word. I am expecting him to give Fabini real good competition for starting job. But Fabini might win it, based on his experience, if he is healed, but I am sure, Pettiti might not be far off.

I am really optimistic about Rob perhaps, but I really think, barring injuries, he might be the long term answer for RT at least, and probably future replacement at LT, if Adams retires or moves on etc.

PittDawg, we appreciate that positive news on your son......keep it up!

Fabini has the experience but is coming off some injuries while Petitti has a year under his belt and is in excellent shape. Should make for a nice competition. Either way it leaves us with depth which we didn't have last year.

I wonder how the OTs group will pan out if Columbo is healthy. Adams is a lock at LT but depending on who wins the starting RT spot may determine who backs up at LT and RT.

Or both could be swing OTs? I think if Starters are set, we might have good backups this year, but thats a BIG IF.

Great news Pittdawg; it is exactly what I was hoping for and expecting. I still believe that Rob will Be The Man. With him getting into "Professional" shape I believe he will keep his starting job and will kick some butt this year.

i think you're right, rob would never let anyone just take his spot. he has worked his butt off, literally, to be ready for this season. i have learned never to count him out.

There is no chance, no fate, no destiny, that can circumvent, or hinder, or control, the firm resolve of a determined soul.

I forget who said that, but it's always been one of my favorite quotes.

Thats one great quote, one which I firmly believe in. Even when I offer excuses of not accomplishing something, I know in my mind, I just didn't try hard enough.

I believe some think that Fabini will automatically get the start...no way man! Fabini has to beat a determined young player out to start...not the other way around.

I think most forget that Rob got dinged last year because of his combine weight...if he was in the shape he's in now at the combine he'd be considered a first day pick.

One year of experience, much better shape, determined...I like his chances. All being even between the two, you go with the youth and future at the position.

Most of us here are rooting for Rob to win out...good luck to him!
