Where is OT Rob Pettiti?

[Hostile]

Pittdawg, I think BP did the best that he could. But when crunch time came, he had to let Rob go. I am willing to wager heavily that he did not want to do it, but felt he had to for the betterment of the TEAM. Columbo has played very well this season- honestly I do NOT think that Rob could have played as well. We know BP wants vets as backups whenever possible, and Fabini is someone he knew well. When McQ showed so much promise as a future LT and BP knew he could not be put on the practice squad or he would lose him, then Rob was the odd man out. rob could not go on the practice squad. I am sure that BP would have kept him if he could. But needing two kickers and with the whole WR thing at that time, it just was not possible. Blaming BP for what happened is just plain wrong. He had to make a tough decision. I think he did the right thing for the TEAM- and that must ALWAYS be his first priority. If you cannot understand that, then you will always be mad at Head Coaches.

That is not what I heard at all and I asked pittdawg about it in a PM this morning and he has the same story I heard.

Interesting that this guy doesn't post for nearly two months, then just moments after his "son" is mentioned, here he is.

Coincidence?

He's been around. He posted a few weeks ago in fact. He's never been antagonistic towards the fans here or Cowboys fan anywhere.

Bledsore was sacked 18 times in 5.5 games he played this season (including sackless games against Texans and Titans) and he was on his way to another 49+ sack season. Please do not tell me this current OL were doing better with Bledsore.

Our OL still sucks. Romo has to run out of pocket every time after two seconds. How many sacks has Romo escaped in Giants game?

I am not saying Rob is better than anyone, but please refrain from taking shots at him. He/his dad is not asking us to recognize him being Orlando Pace. He was a good cowboy and gave all he can in his rookie year.

...he's already made more money that a lot of idiots will make in their lifetime.

Not this idiot!

I know that for a fact.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

We are in the top of the NFL in total Offense. I don't think its all Romo.
Yes he helps big time but the other guys have lifted their game also.
Our O line while not great has turned out decent.

The same coaches, a few different players.........hmmmmm

His last post was Oct 24th, and that was the only one since Sept 3rd.

Just thought it was interesting that he popped in almost immediately after a question was posed concerning Rob Pettiti.

Especially considering he's an admitted Giants fan, who's son plays for the Saints. Just funny how he'd show up on a Cowboys board almost on cue.

Must just be the love of a good conspiracy theory in me.

 

[Tuna Helper]

Fact is that the kid should have sat and studied (with ample coaching) for a few years before being thrust into the starting job.

Even 1st round o-linemen struggle in their first year, and some beyond that. Some never get it.

I harbor no bad feelings towards him, and I wish him well in New Orleans.

Yeah, but he's visited the board almost every week. I've exchanged some PMs with him. He still likes the people here and enjoys Cowboys fans overall.

Lots of people who don't post here regularly read here all the time. I see plenty of people who bash this forum here every single day, or awfully close to it. So what? We're not a bad place to visit.

He was here this week before the thread popped up. I don't know why it's suprising that he'd reply in a thread about his son. I don't get why that's surprising at all.

Don't have to get defensive, Hos. I didn't say anything about people bashing him or this forum.

Just made an observation that is was funny how he showed up to post almost immediately after Pettiti was mentioned, considering he is not an active member here anymore.

The point is that he was a Cowboy fan of convenience and not owed any deference. Courtesy, yes, but not deference.

I promise you ND, I'm not getting defensive. I was just explaining. He's a very good guy who despite his son being waived and being a devout Giants fan doesn't hate the Cowboys.

I find that rare in a world where people hold grudges over the silliest of things. Here's a man who doesn't.

That's all.

I do consider him an active member here since he continues to read here. But that may be just me.

 

[TNCowboy]

I don't expect him to. But that isn't the point anyways.

To show up on a Cowboys messageboard and engage in character assassination of persons in the organization doesn't sit well for me, especially as it is a direct result of a situation that is not that much different than countless other players who have played this game and sacrificed their bodies.

I guess it is too bad their fathers do not all post on internet messageboards so we could all vicariously share in their embitterment.

You're 100% right here.

That basically sums up my feelings on the subject. I just can't say it as well as you do.

Good points. There are times when I lurk here and don't post as often. Nothing wrong with that. I assume that we aren't required to make a token post to show our presence.

I for one enjoy this forum and come here for Cowboys news, and news about our opponents...and the different perspectives on our team. I tried another forum for awhile that is run by some folks that we all know well. It didn't work for me. They were too stiff for me, and there was less activity there.

Hats off to Reality and the mods. This is a great forum!

 

[AbeBeta]

Damn folks. If you had a kid who played on the team wouldn't you pay some attention to what folks were saying about him -- especially after being an active -- and very much appreciated -- poster here?

Yes, he comes in and defends his kid. Is that wrong?

Hey thanks TH.

I miss a lot of those guys. They don't miss me though.

Their choice. They know they can come back here at any time. Even the most hateful towards us.

 

[theebs]

i believe way back when pittdawg said he would check in when we played the saints.
no harm in that.

I miss you too Hos , but I'm one of Jerry's kids. I do drop in, though, from time to time to see what kind of trouble you, that flea-bitten mongrel JR, and the visually-impaired, bi-colored equine are getting in to. It's good to know you haven't forgotten your old friends from detox.

 

[AmadeoV]

Show me three draft sites that heralded Torrin Tucker as first-round talent and I'll show you three sites that said he was wasted talent.

Well, considering that there isn't ONE site in the world that would've said that Torrin Tucker was "first-round talent", that would be impossible. I think the point in question here is whether the coaches were able to groom him and improve him (which, seemingly, they weren't).

 

[Ben_n_austin]

Does Pittdawg still post here anymore?

If so, tell Rob that we're going to own him worse than he used to get owned here in Dallas!

You don't know what that star's about, boy!!!
