Where is OT Rob Pettiti?

[TwoCentPlain]

The Saints are coming to town and I haven't heard Pettitie's name yet. Is he still on the Saints roster? Has he been active for any games yet? Will he play?

He was actually one of my favorite Cowboys (only because he came from my alma mater Pitt). He's a good guy and I wish him well(just not against the Cowboys!). And his dad posted here a lot with good info. I thought that was pretty cool.

Riding nothing, I think he's hog tied to it, 0 playing time all season

Boy, I hope he plays so that he can finally contribute to the Dallas Cowboys! :

A Parcells guy who did not work out. Or in NO, either.

I was jumping for joy when he was cut. That guy was terrible for us. May be a good guy and all, but wasn't starting material when he wore the star.

yes it's true that he has been inactive all season, but he is on the 53 man roster and he is benefitting from some pretty good line coaching, something he needed and didn't get last year.

i know rob stumbled badly at the end of last season, for more than one reason, but i noticed that this years sacks, without rob, were very similar to last year before bledsoe was cast aside and romo came in to save the season.

in any case i'm sure rob will be fine and playing again soon. good luck, it looks like you guys are firing on all cylinders now.

PD,

You're right about Bledsoe.

The guy is an "offensive line killer".

Get some class man. Rob came in as a rookie and held his own. Some players take time to develop. Rob will be just fine in time

Quick question...is this because he was thrown in the fire here in Dallas or that our Offensive Line coach as Borat would say "not so good" ?

Just wondering

That is an extremely good point.

I bet Rob would have benefited from Tony Romo.

Welcome Pittdawg. Please ignore those fans on this board who are plain boorish. We've got some good posters on here who really know the game, etc. but unfortunately we've also got some of the other kind. I was one of your son's fans. I loved his hard work ethic and attitude and was stunned when he was cut. I do understand from what I later read that Parcells didn't want to cut him but it came down to numbers & I guess surprise at how well Colombo progressed.

Agree that our OL last year was not solely responsible for our offensive play toward end of season; Bledsoe was an upgrade over the QB we had before but he regressed in 06 (skills much diminished) and we needed young QB like Romo who very mobile.

Hope Rob does well with the Saints but not in this game against us. BTW: Your comment he getting good OL coaching in NO doesn't surprise most of us here. Many of us have been critical of our OL coaching; I'd like to see us bring in a real vet OL coach instead of Soprano who better offensive play caller then OL coach. Regards

Quite a few rookies played heavily during their rookie year, but I think Rob was the only one that started every game.

The Coaching staff didnt have a "Plan B" if the rookie faultered and he was trying to protect Drew Bledsoe. Marco Rivera playing below-average and getting blown-up didnt help the situation either.

It's nice to see you again Mr. Petitti. Thanks for dropping by.

Amazing how the team has rebounded with a QB change isn't it?

Hey man. I really appreciate you giving us all the news on Rob. Not because hes by favorite player or anything but because its just so rare to get so so much information. I think its pretty cool you take the time to stop in, especailly when Rob was on the team.

That being said man......Im really not all that sad that Rob is no longer a Cowboy. In fact, given the emergence of Columbo, Im quite pleased. I wish Rob luck.......hope he gets a shot somewhere.

I don't see how what I said is classless. I also don't think Rob came close to holding his own. I was happy to see him gone because for whatever reason, Parcells didn't view him as a project that needed some time to watch. He wanted to play him again and the thought of that made me sick. I watched footage of him in 05 all summer and he was terrible. It didn't seem like he made the strides that we all hoped for in preseason and was rightfully cut. We have someone to develop who looks to have a much higher ceiling than Petitti and that the coaches are willing to allow to develop. He may end up being a good player, but I didn't want him on the field as a Cowboy unless he improves a lot. I don't mean to offend his father or anyone who likes him personally, but I am speaking my mind about football and the Cowboys and won't censor myself just because of who may read it.

fair enough, i only posted to inform all what rob is doing. since rob remains close friends with many present cowboys, i would never wish bad luck on them, however, i can't say the same for one coach in particular. i wish you luck, but being a giant fan it wouldn't bother me in the least if the cowboys faltered down the stretch.

Im sorry but he got the same line coaching as Colombo, Gurode and others that improved quite a bit from last season. I wish Rob the best of luck because he was thrown into a tough situation last year and he is a hard worker so its hard not to root for him. With that said there are some sour grapes trying to blame our coaching staff because he was beat out. Rob was given every chance to win the spot in training camp but wasnt able to do so.
