Where is OT Rob Pettiti?

[Billy Bullocks]

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

I appreciated Pitt Dawg for posting here, it was cool. But come on, you don't have to baby Pettiti just because his dad did/does post on here. Kid might turn out to be a player some time, but he obviously isn't there yet. You scared to say it cuz Pittdawg might get mad?

Your absolutely right, but don't you get tired of everyone calling a spade a spade when Carpenter is on the bench. Either he is a bust or the 3 year rule should have been applied to pettitti as well. I'm tired of everyone making exuses for Carpenter who was expected to start. There is a reason Ellis was moved in the first place. Carpenter is not going to be a starter. I will eat crow later if proven wrong.

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.

that comment there IRKS me, so you know what you and your son can do. as far as im concerned........ you and your son should be thankful that he played for the Cowboys, which is probably the only reason why he is still in the NFL, Sean Payton knew the player and decided to continue to develop him. otherwise he would probably be working at a home depot or something like that. :starspin

Eactly, I never understood what was so great about Petittie. He was the weak link of the line last year, by FAR!

Who cares if his dad stumbled across this board and bumbled out a few posts here and there. That's the only reason he ever got any props as a player.

This is a Cowboys board. And WE SHALL NOT FAULTER!!!

Easy Tiger. He's a Giants fan. What's wrong with that? You can't tell me you don't enjoy seeing the Giants lose. Does it bother you cause he freely admits as such? Hell, kudos to him for flying his flag especially after a loss to us AND on our cowboys message board. The Cowboys aren't the sole reason he's still employed. Last I checked Payton is a pretty good coach and obviously see's something in Rob that you, I and the rest of the arm chair coaches do not.
Man, sometimes loyality knows no bounds. Lighten up.

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.

If you and Pittdawg would enlighten us, it probably would clear a lot of this up.

dont you think he wouldve already done it by now??

 

[Bob Dole]

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.

LOL get the frig outta here with that crap.. come here and disrespect the Cowboys coaches. Hey, this line is 8-4 and kicking butt while Pittdawg Jr is carving his name into the bench.

Then you say you wouldnt care if the Cowboys falter down the stretch? :laugh2:

Please.

Hos, you keep saying you heard something different but then you refuse to give details. Spit it out. Good or bad, spit it out.

 

[Hostile]

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.

Holy crap snapper, where the hell have you been hiding? Nice to see you. The team's in an amazing run, a cat like you ought to be posting a lot more. I hope you will.

Fair enough.

I was told that on the final roster cutdowns that the entire coaching staff preferred Petitti over Fabini. Upside and youth. Parcells vetoed that decision. He wanted Fabini.

I have no explanation why. I have not dwelt on it at all, because I know it stirs up the hornets.

Yesterday morning in a PM I asked Rob's father a question about the "one coach" comment he made. I asked him if he meant Sparano or Parcells. In my mind it could have been either. I did not like Sparano's blocking schemes last year. Still not crazy about them, but the results cannot be denied. I asked about Parcells because of what I had heard. In our discussions he mentioned what I just said above without me prompting him. In other words, he heard the same thing.

I highly doubt he heard it from the same source I did. I don't know what the "up in arms" crowd will do with the information, but there it is.

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.

 

[cnhnyy]

The simple fact is that Bledsore was on his way to a 54-sack season before being benched. (He was sacked 49 time last year). The OL improved... thanks to Romo, not because we got rid of Rob.

The way him and his son have been disrespected on this thread by trolls like you ..... he should have said worse.

Now shutup before he tells Rob to turn you into that pancake that sits on that rabbits head.

 

[zrinkill]

Tell Rob many of us are still cheering for him Pittdawg ........ and please ignore the classless trolls on this thread.

Here here...A rookie with injuries told to play RT when he was a LT all through College. Good luck to Rob, except when he plays us.
