Tucker going unnoticed

[MichaelWinicki]

I can only assume most of you didn't watch Tucker closely, but are going by the two sacks. He handled Cole -and the various other guys who lined up across from him - on virtually every play but one.

Contrary to many posts, he wasn't "dominated". Cole made a great move and got a sack against him, but the first sack wasn't Tucker's fault. Bledsoe had plenty of time (4 seconds) and stepped right up into Cole. On almost every pass play, Tucker stalemated his guy. It was by no means a great performance, but given what he is, it wasn't bad.

Tucker also did a reasonable job in run blocking. Certainly no worse than the rest of the OL.

BTW, I really liked Trent Cole. I was really hoping Dallas would draft him.

Very accurate post.

*** is this?

Tucker isnt doing anything special...IF anything I still see him getting blown by.

He needs to get his fat butt moving because at this rate Bladsoe will not make it far.

Point out a particular play, other than the sack at the end of the 1st half....

I didn't see anyone say he was special, just that Adams' injury wasn't the disaster some feared it would be.

Personally I think he's a better run blocker than Flozell.

Michael, I absolutely disagree with this. Flo is inconsistent, but when on he is a force. Tucker is not and it's that simple.

I think you are out there on that Mike...Adams is just a way more gifted player than Tucker in all phases

He got cut in preseason. Already trying to get on with another team from what I read.

Nope. He is on IR.

I agree about teh Disaster we all all assumed would happen with Tucker on the helm.


Well I can tell you that watching the game I always seen a lot of pressure from his side.. and the obvious sack.
