thanks for attempting to put some fact behind my feelings. some here appear skeptical or disbelieving of what actually happens to players behind the scenes. i don't need to defend rob nor myself for retorting to posters who i believe are overly critical of rob. rob was thrown into a situation to cover the gross miscalculation of the coaching staff as to the abilities of other players on the roster. rob never played RT nor was he in nfl shape, yet he played through numerous injuries for what he thought was the good of the team. through eleven games, rob had given up 7 sacks. after suffering a concussion and a severe high ankle sprain, julius jones 5 weeks, in the detroit game, rob's play begain to spiral down surrendering 6 1/2 sacks the final 5 games. my problem is that with a severe injury and a rookie reaching the wall he should not even been playing. the team had made no contingent plan for this having used a roster spot for the future in columbo. that move payed off well for this year , but left the team without a real option at either tackle last year.
well that's history and neither rob nor me is crying over spilt milk. rob is comfortable in NO, liking both the team and city. NO is playing extremely well as is their offensive line. the coaches have identified the technique problems rob had, but unlike in dallas have found a way to correct them. if this is a knock on dallas coaches, so be it. i view this a a simple statement of fact.
thanks for all that have supported my son and read my posts with interest. i appologize for nothing regarding my feelings toward my son nor the posting of things i know to be true. i have no need to post here nor do i think that by posting does anything change. i have a clear understanding of both the opportunity given and then taken away from rob in dallas, posting here only to give an inside point of view.
No problem at all.
Look, the strange nature of sports fans is that they feel that they can say anything critical about a member of the organization they root for. But if you are outside that fandom, don't you dare.
Personally, I have never understood this.
Troy Aikman is a Hall of Famer from this organization who led us to 3 Super Bowls. There is a contigent of fans here who believe he hates the team and goes out of his way to bash them. This belief can arise simply from harmless comments about something on the other team not being a valid penalty. If Troy disagrees with a flag that benefits Dallas, it's proof of his hatred. I don't get it, and I don't want to get it.
I have seen fans on this forum say far harsher things than the media talking heads do. Even harsher than the evil empire ESPN. That's not hatred in their eyes. That's just telling it like it is. Yet it's the exact same act. The comments could be verbatim, and anyone sitting outside the fandom will be viewed more harshly. Troy Aikman isn't even outside the fandom, but because it's his job, he's a hater.
It's ridiculous. It works that way all over the world though. I've seen kids say horrible things to their Mothers, but if I walked up to the same woman and said exactly what they said, that same rude kid would want to fight me. It's a strange belief that only those close to the relationship can have the privilege of abusing that relationship.
Not worth your stomach acid to worry about it. Those who were critical of what you said will say far worse and excuse it. Book it.
Oh, and post here any time you damn well please.
, 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.
