Rob to the Saints

[kTXe]

BP doesn't have that kind of class. He talks a lot about Tom Landry, but that is all it is: Talk.

I hope Rob has a fantastic, HOF even, career. I also hope he flattens Demarcus Ware when we play, since BP thinks that is Robs' "problem": speed rushers. Have we even gotten a real sack in the preseason?

God Bless you and your son, Pittdawg. He'll probably flourish under Payton...

I'm just glad he didn't go to the Redsk*ns.

Why? Don't you know that those clown fans of the RedStinks would have him in the HOF!!

Rob would have been the greatest pickup ever and St. Gibbs would again have performed a miracle...

You can't be that dumb... :bang2:

You have seen Rob play haven't you? He couldn't flatten you let alone Ware...


Guys like this are a drain on this team and make our fans look like idiots.

The dude was a 7th round pick who was thrust into a starting job that he wasn't able to handle. Some of you people act like he was a valuable asset to this team, when unfortunately he was a drain on this team. Rob's play and Tucker's play were the main causes for the demise of the Cowboys down the stretch last year

I agree 100%

Absolutely agree with Natedawg on the guard thing. Rob is a thick guy but not as wide/longarmed as Flo and Columbo. The width and wingspan of tall/longarmed tackles helps with the outside speed rushers and helps with recovering if the footwork isn't perfect or a DE gives a great move.

Rob is thick and strong and looks more like a Larry Allen body type than a Flo. Lots of guys play OT in College and go guard in NFL.

I am looking forward to how Parcells explains the move. He isn't as touchy feely as his Terry Glenn and even Antonio Bryant stories of last week indicate (those were tear jerkers in terms of sentimentality). Parcells is a hardass and always will be, but he did seem to like Petiti's potential and I do think there is surprise from Rob and Pittdawg, fans, media, and probably a person or two on inside of organization.

I do wonder if Parcells knew that Rob wouldn't last past New Orleans and Payton on waiver so that made his decision easier. He might have thought this is better for Rob in terms of playing now and potential for starting in some ways, in addition to keeping a more experience guy (Fabini "who wouldn't give up 10 sacks a season is he played backwards").

Now I'm a bit surprised Parcells didn't talk to Rob directly, but that might not be the way he does cuts even if he wanted to. It's a tough business from that end.

The kicking situation and McQ caused this move as well as the money given Fabini and the experience Fabini brings. Even with Fabini looking on the downside of career and the need for young Oline in Dallas, it was a situation where McQ and Columbo looked a bit better upside-wise over last few weeks. Just a surprise with all the praise Parcells sent Rob's way even with the "and that's OK" move to swing tackle. I do worry if McQ hits a wall though, just like Rob started facing different stuff in 2nd half of last season.

Looking forward to Parcell's answering some tough questions on this one, but I think he knew Rob would get snapped up by Payton if not the Texans.

Good luck Pettiti (just not against the Cowboys)! I saw you at Pitt and unfortunately only 1 year at Dallas. Parcells has cut two of my alma maters now: Bryant and Pettiti. Only Polite remains, and by a hair at that.

I thought Fabini made it because of the $1.7 mil bonus, but Pittdawg seems to have heard that Pettiti's cut was all Parcells' opinion and no one else's.

I think even Nate Newton was cut by the Commanders, if memory serves me right. And wasn't Novachek allowed to leave the Cards? I'm just glad Pettiti didn't go to the skins or eagles or Giants. Good luck!

One week before the season starts and we don't even know who will start at both RT and LT. Is Flo healthy? Columbo hasn't even played a meaningful game at tackle, in what, 2 years. And Fabini is another "BP guy" who is past his prime and unwanted by his former team (what did Ryan Young, Richie Anderson, etc do for the cowboys?)

We will soon see if BP made the right decision. I'm sure it was a tough decision.

I think you are probably right on this.

 

[Sandman]

Good luck to Rob. Sometimes we forget the NFL is a bussiness, and it doesn't always seem fair.

 

[Tass]

put me down for the crowd that hopes Ware rips Pettiti's head off and throws it at Drew Brees

We drafted WARE, not Merriman...remember? Ware will blow past the tackle, gently pull the QB down, help him up and then apologize for being so rough.

I know Saints fans are glad to have him! And, it's got to be an endorsement that his former OC claimed him. He'll have a real opportunity in New Orleans!

Long time no see Dallen. Yeah, that statement shocked me too.

Hey Saints fan, do you hang out at Shoal Creek for the games?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

the reason Rob won't be moving to OG anytime soon, he's not athletic enough, and is too tall, teams move OTs to OG because of their athleticsm, alot of teams use zone-blocking schemes which require them to be athletic, and OGs need to have a low base, Pettiti would be better off staying at OT

 

[TX_Yid]

Delighted for Rob, didn't figure he would be without a team for very long.

I'll be keeping an eye out for the Saints games and wishing Rob all the best.
