Not a doubt in my mind our offensive line will be vastly improved over last year. Were going to be ALOT more mobile unit this year when it comes to the O.L. WHY do you think BP went out and grabbed Rivera last year, Kosier this year, and drafted Al Johnson???? HMMMMMMM. Much different blocking style that we Cowboy fans are used too. Gonna take some time to Gell. Tell you one thing, our R.B's are going to be hitting the edges alot more than what were used too. The double T.E offense has alot to do with it also, so does the Owens signing. RELAX!, Some may not understand now, but they will come the third preseason game.
able to even be on par with what we had "pre-flo-injury" is goig to be the best we can really hope for.
flo still nursing his injury.
al johnson being talked *up*? bwa ha haha. first time i think i've seen that one by even the most staunch defenders of the line.
rivera - let's make sure he can get past his back problems and be effective on the field first, ok?
petitti - hoping he can step it up. of all the people on the line he's the one i have the most faith in. he stood out last year for good AND bad reasons yet he stayed in there swinging and taking his lumps. i admire him and hope he can learn to let some of the things that got to him last year slide this year and stay focused on his job.
kosier - he's replaced a HOF in allen. he will forever be compared to him for better or worse and ultimately he'll NEVER be a larry allen or he'd have been a highly sought after player in the off-season, not a sleeper we took a flyer on. jury out, but let's not pencil in "replaced" on allens spot just because we found a warm body and have HOPE he'll be all that.
gurode - servicable is about all i can say. not great, not terrible, just another name on the line.
fabini - no OL player has been more shelled since the start of camp than "give us less sacks playing backwards" fabini. it was nice of parcells to give his old boys a job for a year but at this point he may be nothing more than depth and a turnstyle should he ever actually hit the field. let's hope we don't have to test out parcells predictions, forwards or backwards.
colombo - another "hopeful" having a good camp so far. let it ride and let's see what he can do. i hope he can stap it up but then i hope he and petitti can play multiple spots on the line.
mcquistian - a 7th round pick not even projected *to* be picked who's biggest cowboy moment could be his WARF impersonation with 1/2 his hair missing and no need for makeup to complete the klingon look.
i can understand those who say we could be as good as last year. i can even see where some may feel we'd be a step better if the "gel" factor actually works.
but to say "vastly improved" - you're dreaming dude.
