Rob to the Saints

[AbeBeta]

Good for Rob. Happy he's got another chance to show his stuff.

Pittdawg, best of luck to you and Rob. I had the pleasure of interviewing him several times while interning at the Cowboys' web site, and he always came across as a nice, down-to-earth guy.

Please don't hesitate to drop back by and inform us of Rob's progress from time to time. You're a part of this community here and we'll always value your insight.

Hell, Henson threads still pop up every other day.

Best of luck to you and Rob. It's been great having you here.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

here's the real head-scratcher

I wonder who Pettiti's biggest fan in TC this year is gonna root for, the Saints or the Cowboys?

 

[JackMagist]

I'm glad to hear that Rob got picked up. I really never doubted that he would and I think the Saints got a steal here.

Good Luck to Rob.

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


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

Are you sure its the player ?

I only qouted this part because it seemed like an appropriate response to your post(s) in this thread.

Great from Rob and I for one have to say that I hoped we held on to him but just figure that he will be blocking for Reggie Bush. If he can get it done there...it will bring him much more notoriety. Best of luck and now I have another reason to root for the Saints.

Whatever your feelings are about Rob ....there is no excuse for being rude, tactless, or just downright obnoxious.

no kidding .... some of these children make me sick.

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...

And I hope you become a Saints fan, it's one thing to root for Pettiti even if we cut him, but to hope he flattens one of our players, as if Ware had anything to do with him being cut, is dumb.

 

[rgcowboys]

Good luck at New Orleans. Tell Rob not to look at Bush when he is supposed to be blocking, lol.

 

[aikemirv]

Good luck to your son Pittdawg.

I hope he has a very sucessful career!

I always like it when hard work and determination pays off and I know he did everything he could while in Dallas!

Here's the thing I hope people learn from this thread - there is a difference between players who play and try hard, but just don't have the talent, and those players who might or might not have talent, but do nothing to maximize it.

I don't 'celebrate' the cutting of anyone, especially guys like Pettiti, or guys from the past like Dantzler or Ekuban. People look at guys like this as 'drains', but that just isn't fair. Parcells once came out and said something about Ekuban that will always stick with me. It was after the game he didn't even dress - Parcells was nothing but complimentary, stating Ekuban hadn't done anything wrong, was a hard worker, tried to do it, but just didn't have the talent. There is no reason to tread on guys like this or look down on them - if anything, I respect them.

I do wish Pettiti and Copper and Green and Glymph and any other player who tries to do what they can luck in the future. Just because they don't have the talent to contribute to our team does not mean they deserve the 'good riddance' treatment. Rather recognize what it is, wish them luck with some class and move on.

EDIT: A little insight. Imagine you just got a job in an Astrophysics-think-tank at Cambridge. You work you arse off to get come up with solution sets for the most advanced equations possible, everyday, but in the end, regardless of all your work, you just don't have the brain to make it. So you get let go. It isn't a 'good riddance' move. Sure, maybe you weren't the Einstein in the group, but that doesn't give the rest of the general public allowance to all you a bum. You just lost your job for no other reason than lack of God given talent.

Glad he got picked up so quickly. He's going to be good, if not great, at some point.

Seriously?

 

[SA_Gunslinger]

i still can't believe we let this guy walk.

i hope it doesn't bite us.

 

[Juke99]

Congrats and good luck Rob.

Tough spot to be in last year. 7th round pick forced to start at a position that
normally takes a few years for guys to grasp.

Ya can't knock his effort and clearly, Sean Payton saw something he liked.

Also, thanks to Pittdawg for being a stand up guy.

 

[Bach]

i still can't believe we let this guy walk.

i hope it doesn't bite us.

Cheer up.
I'm sure we can find another below average late round O-Lineman in the near future.

Very good post.

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

If there is presently any drain on the team it would be carrying a second kicker.

Now as for Rob he may not be starting material, but it doesn't mean he couldn't have been good depth for an o-line whom most of Cowboy Nation has been complaining about since the fourth game of last year.

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

I did until I got Sunday Ticket last season. I'm sure I'll be over there for a few this season. Do you go?
