Pettiti Thread **Merged**

[scottsp]

Its' not Rob Petitti's fault he's been thrusted into a starting role. He's not very good right now (and may never be, I dunno), but that's the only real contingency this team took into the season at right tackle. Jacob Rogers and Torrin Tucker were obviously disasterous. Rogers didn't make it out of camp. Tucker, the starter at RT last season, was so highly regarded the club decided to go with a rookie sixth rounder at his old spot.

That's the best solution the Cowboys could come up with? Might want to take issue with whoever decided to go that route.

Most lineman who were consistantly beat like him wouldn't last the entire season, so he might have a chance...

 

[Tuna Helper]

Thinks so?

I wouldnt know where to find that stat. Heck, I dont even know how much he gave up, I lost count...

There is a specific website that tracks this stat, but I don't remember the link.

Adam, please help if you are reading!

Neither would I. But hats off to you for not wearing the rose-colored glasses.

Here we go with the excuses.

Rogers, Tucker, and Petitti are all Tuna products...and yes, I do have an issue with the Tuna on this.

Wrong....are you telling me that when Bledsoe was brought in here that BP wasn't constantly saying that Bledsoe needed protection to be successful?

It is BP's fault that he went with a guy at RT that can't play it. The draft came and went....the off-season came and went....the trading deadline came and went. NOTHING was done to give Bledsoe what BP himself admitted MUST be done.

I don't care that he was a 6th rounder.....there are plenty of other players taken in that round and later that could play without being a TURN-STILE.

It was unbelievable tonight watching a guy destroy him that hasn't had his best year at all. It seems that nearly everyone that went up against him had career days or at the very least their best game of the season. The only one that I can think of that he did do a good job against was Kearse.

Stats, Inc says

12 1/2

http://snap.stats.com/stats/nflinfo/playerstats.asp?id=7385

I think he gave up at least 3 tonight, so that would be 15 1/2. Not sure if that is the record or not.

 

[sago1]

In Pettiti's defense, he's a 6/7th round pick who Parcells decided he could turn into a decent starting RT. Pettiti's has played the best he could but simply too much was expected of him. I think he will be better next year after spending time in our weight conditioning program, but I am certainly not convinced that Pettiti is a starting RT in the NFL--at least not next year.

Cowboys need to seriously upgrade the OL in the offseason & I don't mean just sign 1 vet FA either. If I could make the call, I want us to sign a quality vet center & draft both an OT & OG (Allen/Riveria will be 35/34 in 06) but certainly hope our new scouting department which did so well in 05 season will do equally same in upgrading not only the OL but elsewhere on offense. Like it sure would be nice to have a FB who could help block.

Huh ?

I believe you missed the point here. Please re-read. I'm stating precisely that it's Bill Parcells fault.

 

[Hailmary]

Parcell's has always stated that the reasoning behind not playing the younger QBs last season was because he felt that they weren't ready and didn't want them to be "thrown to the wolves". If that was the case, if he honestly felt that an over the hill QB w/ a dead arm gave him a better shot at winning than giving one of the pups a try, then I can respect that (though I may not agree w/ it).

Can the same be said about Petitti? He has struggled throughout the year, and yet he started all the games. If Parcell's truly sees potential in Petitti, wouldn't it have been wiser to play Tucker or Columbo so as NOT to destroy his confidence for the future?

Or is there just a different set of rules for QBs?

This isn't a "blame Pettiii" post btw. He's rookie making rookie mistakes. It's more frustration over some of BP's personnel decisions.

 

[Nerm]

Petitti was forced into this position by a coaching staff with no foresight.

On another note, yes he is possibly the worst lineman in the nfl.

He may be the worst starter in the NFL at any position. He is by far the worst OL player.

I would love to see stats on how many sacks and pressures he gave up. Anyone know where to get those stats (besides from Adam).

 

[jbsg02]

If so I'd say the wolves at him alive

 

[GoCowboysGo]

There is a difference between mistakes and not being able to play the position at all.

 

[Woods]

I think it was more that we didn't have any other legitimate options at RT, esp. since Flo's injury.

This was a hole on the roster coming into this season, and it remains so.

 

[Tuna Helper]

In Pettiti's defense, he's a 6/7th round pick who Parcells decided he could turn into a decent starting RT. Pettiti's has played the best he could...

I stopped reading right there. Being a late round pick is not an excuse for POOR PLAY!

If Petitti is giving his best, I cannot imagine what would happen if he had a bad day.

BP did the same thing at CB last year.

BTW...Little did just play in the pro bowl last year.

 

[Tio]

And we thought he was solid when he constantly had a te /rb on his side and was still getting beat more than you would like...

 

[Jimz31]

No, BP just doesn't practice what he preaches very often.

He also say that "real game" experience for QB's is what matters, yet last year and this year, he has had opportunities to put a back-up in.....yet doesn't do it.

 

[Shotgun Dave]

He may be the worst starter in the NFL at any position. He is by far the worst OL player.

Now that's just downright silly. He's the WORST STARTER IN THE NFL AT ANY POSITION?

Come on, man. I'm hacked we lost also but keep some sense of reality.
