Exactly you were complaining about me to another poster. Your opinion was full of complaints. That is not a deduction.

It is passive aggressive though.
I was agreeing with his sentiments. The last sentence you wrote is describing yourself.

It's not the company line. He wasn't taken until the final picks of the 2nd round. If he was such a hot prospect, why did he last so long?

The Cowboys draft tackles and move them guard. So in addition to not liking him, he didn't fit into their philosophical draft strategy.
Yeah, Solari on draft day told the guys on the draft coverage that they are looking for "athletic" offensive linemen.

I get you don't like me, sport.

Care to explain how I am passive aggressive? You go long on assertions and that is about it.
I’m on your side…

But I have to point out that using “sport” like that is passive aggressive. Maybe you meant to be that time. Actually, I bet you did.

Good one

Well, the poster's user name is TheSport78. Hence, you could shorten it to sport without meaning to be passive aggressive, just using their name. Know what I'm saying, dog?

Although I think relying on Tyron is fool's gold if they had an eye on starting him at left tackle and moving Tyler to left guard, then it also makes sense that they would not want to use a second-round pick on a guard. Would anyone expect Torrence to beat out Tyler or Zack? Now, Torrence obviously would have given us a better backup plan for when Tyron misses games, but the more obvious need was tight end, where we were/are unsure if we had a starter to replace Schultz.

We'll see how it all turns out.

No, the more obvious need was at guard. We needed a starting guard. Tyron getting injured is a certainty. Tyron should be thought of as a swing tackle that can start when he is healthy. We could have even cut Tyron if we wanted. And he certainly wont be here next season. So taking the guard was definitely the bigger need.

Steele was also hurt and he may not be here next year either.

Ferguson is ready to step in as the #1 with or without Schoon in there. Its nice to have two good TE's no doubt. But having 5 healthy quality Olineman is the most important thing to an offense.

Torrence doesn't fit their offense.

he might not get healthy until midseason. Rookie tight ends rarely do much year 1 anyway. I think if he nets 200 yards and like 2-3 tds this year that will be decent . Next year is where I expect a big jump. Ferguson has looked really great thus far. As has Stephens.

LOL..............thats quite the creative blow off answer. I have to give you credit for that one. Well McGovern was one of our guards for 4 years and the Bills just signed him in the offseason. The same Bills team that drafted Torrence.

I mean, what could the Cowboys ever want with a big strong powerful guard?

He is too fat.

Flat feet is the leading cause of Plantar Fasciitus because the plantar fascia gets stretched away from the heel when bearing weight. The end.

Moving on....

Camp is going fantastic in Green Bay. Big crowds as usual, and the team is looking great. Can't wait for the first day in pads. Also looking forward to Bill Belichick and the Pats coming to TitleTown for joint practices on August 16th and 17th. Joint practices are the best practices.
The only problem with the Packers is they're irrelevant.
