Which offensive line would you prefer - 2007 or 2014?

[Red Dragon]

2007 = Flozell Adams + Kyle Kosier + Andre Gurode + Leonard Davis + Marc Colombo

2014 = Tyron Smith + Mackenzie Bernadeau + Travis Frederick + Zack Martin + Doug Free




I think I'd still choose the 2007 line, but the 2014 line isn't far behind in quality.

 

[BlueNSilver88]

2014 because of youth & development for the future. The 2007 line was a bunch of seasoned vets. Give me 3 blue chip 23y/o's ANYDAY

 

[Hoofbite]

The one that won't go down the tubes in 3 years because of age.

 

[Silver Surfer]

2014 - Those guys from 2007 would be too old to be any good this year.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

2014. We haven't even seen Smith, Frederick, Martin in their prime yet.

 

[21Savage]

And Leary should be there in place of Mack. He's actually an underhyped, potential blue chipper. He's Leonard Davis except with more ability to bend so the league won't catch up to him in a debilitating way

 

[Reverend Conehead]

I'll take the 2014 O-line, but I want our 2007 D-line back.

 

[elcowboi]

2014 and it's not even close imo. This o line is on the rise where as in 2007 they were on the decline. They peeked that year and only have gotten better this year talent wise.

 

[Dwight]

I prefer the 2014 oline due to intelligence, youth and talent.

The 2007 oline was overrated and it showed in the Giants Playoff Game. Romo made them look good during that season.

 

[Nation]

For the future I'd take 2014 (IE I think this years line will be good in 2017, whereas 2007's was a disaster in 2010)

I'd be happy to get 2007's performance from this years group though.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Give me the line that can zone block.

 

[AbeBeta]

How is this even a question?

 

[big dog cowboy]

2014 and it isn't close.

 

[Jack Burton]

2014. The 2007 line, while good, ultimately failed and went into a sharp decline. The 2014 line is young, talented, and their story has yet to be written.

 

[Zman5]

Romo made 2007 look better than it actually was. Go look at 2006 highlights. 2006 line was 2007 line minus Davis and they didn't look as good with Bledsoe at QB.

 

[tico]

2014 sky's the limit..

 

[DiResta]

And Leary should be there in place of Mack. He's actually an underhyped, potential blue chipper. He's Leonard Davis except with more ability to bend so the league won't catch up to him in a debilitating way

Leary I like ok but he's noway Leonard Davis, no way. Leonard Davis is a monster of a guard. too bad he just got to old.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Leonard Davis is a monster of a guard. too bad he just got to old.

It happens to all of us eventually.

 

[jazzcat22]

2014, no doubt about it. Every player younger and brighter future at this point in time over any of the 2007 OL at their point in time.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

2014, particularly if you put Leary at LG instead of Bernie.

Much more youth, better technique from player-to-player, far better center in Frederick, much more versatility and I believe less penalties.

Mostly depends on Free though. Romo plays his best when the RT play is locked down nicely. When the RT play is shaky, he struggles.
