Rob Petitti or Alex Barron?

[TheCoolFan]

Game on the line...which of these RTs would you rather have?

 

[skinsscalper]

Petiti. Atleast he had some heart.

 

[speedkilz88]

James Marten.

 

[The Quest for Six]

wasn't Petitti a sixth rounder and a rookie forced to play because of injury, Barron a first rounder with alot of starts under his belt, both have turned out to be horrible, but ateast Petitti had an excuse, he wasn't touted as a first round pick. I never expect much from a sixth round offensive linemen

 

[tyke1doe]

Petitti, and it's not even close.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Torrin "Mother" Tucker

 

[jgboys1]

Jacob ******* Rogers.

Blast from the past.

 

[28 Joker]

Phil Loadholt started at RT as a rookie (in Minnesota), and Dallas almost drafted him. They had his name written on the card and had zero offensive line depth. They got cute and traded out even though both starting OTs had a whole lot of wear and tear on them and both collapsed in the 2007 playoff game.

Colombo imploded in the Metro-Dome and the pretty much done Adams got hurt, and Dallas whistled in the sun after that game, concerning RT. They declared Colombo was fully healthy and excused his poor play. Their answer was Alex Barron. I don't know why I ever had any hope in him. I actually predicted Barron would start. I'm embarrassed over that one; I'll tell you that.

Not drafting Loadholt is haunting the Cowboys.

What if Loadholt was able to play Ray Edwards?

What if Loadholt was playing RT last night?

It is hind-sight, but I"m not the guy getting paid to make these calls.

What if Dallas would have turned in that draft card with Phil Loadholt's name on it?

 

[DallasDomination]

Torrin Tucker and Pettiti over Barron and it's not even close!

We drafted Sam Young and he is just as ready to start as Loadholt was.

The question is do we have the guts to make the move if Colombo is done.

No he's not. Loadholt has the potential to be a franchise LT. Young does not. He could be a serviceable starter, but that's about it.

I agree with you on the bold part. Young or Brewster would be better than playing the pathetic Alex Barron.

Young needs to get a little stronger, and there was not doubt about Loadholt's strength as a rookie. He started in Minnesota.

Loadholt would be established by now, because Colombo probably would have been cut by now.

 

[28 Joker]

Good point. The Vikings moved Loadholt to LT against the Saints, and Young can't play LT.

Young has the potential to be a franchise RT.

Loadholt isn't as good as you think and i've probably seen a lot more of him than you have.

He's been a nice player since he has gotten to Minny but I would never start the guy at Left Tackle.

What have you seen that makes you think Young could ever be a "franchise RT" ? I mean, he had a decent preseason and camp, but it was nothing more than decent. A good start for a late-round pick, but I don't really see where you're getting the 'He could be a 10-year starter' thought process from.

From Young? Its more like what haven't I seen that gives me a reason to believe he can't do the job.

At no point has the game looked to big for the guy and the physical ability is there.

Not to mention he was the #1 Offensive Tackle in the Nation coming out of highschool. He always had the talent and it looks like Dallas has fixed his #1 problem which were his feet.

His feet stay moving now.


He needs an offseason to get a little stronger but the guy has played Right Tackle his entire life and it's just his calling in life to play that position.

He is a prototype Right Tackle.

Look @ how on a lot of these plays he makes solid contact and just stops and never moves his feet. He doesn't do that anymore.

He has some skills, I'm not denying that, but the guy is not very athletic and has no lateral quickness and struggles against speed rushers. Now, that'd be more of an issue if we were trying to play him at LT, obviously, but that's still not the ideal tackle I want starting for me. He seems like a solid blue collar guy who could have a decent career in the league, but nothing about him screams franchise RT to me. He's a guy who you should be looking to upgrade if you can.

Im not ready to write the guys career yet. If I had to project he looks like a young Colombo.

So I can't say if I want a better "quality" player or not until I see this guy get out on the field and fail.

So far he has given no reason to believe he can't handle it.

He's talented and obviously smart. Just looks like a typical kid who had to much hype coming out of highschool and never picked up any good technique.
