Want to see a sad list of offensive linemen?

For fun, I was going over the Cowboys drafts at www.drafthistory.com and something really stood out to me.

If your team had only this to show during 8 years of drafting:

Solomon Page (out of league)
Kelvin Garmon (out of league)
Char-Ron Dorsey (out of league)
Matt Lehr (starter this year by default in Atlanta, probably won't be starting much longer with the way he has played)
Tyson Walter (career backup, newest job is on the worst oline in the NFL, Houston)
Andre Gurode (career backup, yet to be seen if makes it in 2 years)
Justin Bates (out of league)
Al Johnson (only solid starter on this list, and still has question marks)
Stephen Peterman (career backup thus far)
Jacob Rogers (out of league)
Rob Petitti (shaky rookie season, future yet to be determined)

Wouldn't you be a little bit worried about your quarterback?

That ladies and gentlemen, is every single offensive linemen the Cowboys have drafted since Flozell Adams. Sort of a far cry from the days of finding gems like Larry Allen, Flozell Adams, and Erik Williams out of the first round. :

If you want to get even more depressed, check out the guys drafted after Larry Allen:

Antonio Fleming
Steve Scifres
Clay Shiver
Kenneth McDaniel
Shane Hannah
Oliver Ross (doh! let one slip away)
Flozell Adams

So in almost 12 years, all we have to show are Flozell Adams and Al Johnson. :bang2:

Maybe the Zone should just make "offensive line" the keyword to get the puke emoticon going.

Offens...... uke:

It's like we spent all the good fortune we had finding Hall-of-Famer Allen with a late round pick. We blew our wad of luck.
