All we need to do is to play Romo the rest of the year...the offense will hold up..we were explosive at times with romo in there...let him take his lumps...
NEXT YEAR he will be ready. All we have to do is MAKE SURE we get some serious o linemen...draft one in the first round...a solid one...we are only going to win 7 or 8 games so we should get a starter. Get one via free agency. Get Mcquiston or Proctor ready. Get rid of Kosier, Rivera and Columbo. Let Adams heal up. That would fix the offense.

As far as the defense. We need a real FS in there. Watkins is just not ready and he is getting worked. I would give Coleman a shot if we can...Maybe by next year Watkins will be able to play. BUT spears and canty need to get a reality check! did they even play?

Every year I hear, "we just need to draft one OL early and pick one up in free agency and we should be solid." or "when we get Flo back we should be good" - or "Rivera should be better next year" - - or "with Gurode in at center instead of Al, we'll be OK" - - or "Fasano will really help in blocking"

Fact is.........the entire OL needs to be revamped, they are AWFUL. Friggin clean house.

But offensive lineman can be found in the later rounds. You mean 1st round and 2nd round linemen tend to be better than those drafted in the 7th? Also I thought 34 year old guards were supposed to be in their prime.:bow:

I'm really not read to concede this year. There is another 4 months of football to be played.

i dont think there is a need to replace our ENTIRE O Line, just the 2 guards and the 2 tackles!!

I tend to agree that Gurode has played decent.

Throw the O-Line coach in there while you're at it.

So we should leave the inexperienced QB in to take his lumps this year and learn a few things, but not the rookie FS who, aside from a few major lapses, has played pretty well so far? How's he going to be ready next year if he's not also in there learning now?

I can agree with that.. Just take into the possiblity that Parcells and Glenn could also be on that gone list come next year. Glenn for sure, he got a 1 year and out type of deal which was WAY better looking on paper than in reality. With Crayton and Hurd coming on so strong, TO seemingly here to try and be good, with the money due to Terry next year, with a glarring need to bring some youth into that one trailing position...Terry is gone. As for parcells, that's anyone's guess; though my guess is that he will be back for at least one more.

Nothing wrong with Watkins why do you have to throw him under the bus like that? He is a ROOKIE!!!!!!! If Roy isn't taken out by the ref and you wouldn't be complaining about him. Coleman is done and with his "problem" you never know when he will be suspended.

We have the talent to be a great team, (even in the o-line) it just seems like the two people you need to be reliable (qb and head coach) have been far from it.

Bring back Jimmy. That is all.

That just might be the key!!! Maybe the line wouldn't be so bad if it were better coached.
