zoners, nate newton was on the sports talk show on ktbb and he basically said what he saw was mcquistan not being able to pull on small sweeps or bigger sweeps, and he was getting pushed back into the QB or allowing the defender to go by him on pass rush.

I take anything Newton says with a grain of salt.

While talking about McQuistan, it seems to me since Parcells left, he doesn't seem to put forth the same effort into getting better anymore. (sitting on his potential maybe?)

Think McQuistan is more a RT then an OG but do question whether he'll ever be good enough to replace Colombo so Jerry might want to rethink any idea of not resigning Colombo. OTOH, I've got confidence in HH. If anybody get lick our OL players, both starters & backups, into shape and good technique, it will be HH.

What's it going to be then, eh?

Coach Parcells also used to ride him pretty hard. That also could be a factor. He might be one of those players who constantly has to be prodded.

good point nyc, maybe pat mcquistan believed that he had the team made and didnt try to get better after parcells and sparano left

or that with the different styles of blocking, mcquistan doesnt fit that bill now

i like nate, always have; to me, an offensive linemen that has played the game, was an all pro, knows what hudson houck likes in his linemen, should know what he sees of the current offensive linemen like mcquistan

whats Ubuntu?

What potential? Did I miss the part where this guy was NOT drafted in the 7th round?

I still don't understand why anyone thinks McQuistan can be a starter in the NFL.

And don't come at me with that "Well Romo went undrafted" BS, please. Romo may have been undrafted, but Flozell, Gurode, Davis and Colombo sure were.

You mean besides the fact that he is 315lbs and by far the most athletic offensive line me we have? He was drafted in the 7th round because he had like two years total of any type of football experience.

Oh, so he's big and doesn't trip over his feet. Well put him in the starting lineup then. :confused:

Why are you pissing on McQuistan? Did he do something to you?

I'm pissing on him because I don't think he's an NFL starter?

I've heard plenty of people talk about his "potential" and I simply don't see it. I never have. His potential to be a career backup? Maybe. As a starter? I don't see it.

Umm, he isn't starting. :laugh2:

Some people said the same thing about Bigg Davis.

I take anything Newton says with a dime bag.

Davis was the 2nd overall pick in the draft, so please.

And no, he's not starting. He'll never be a starter. The only reason he's on our roster is he knows the system and he's cheap, so spare me all the "potential" talk.

Ubuntu Linux

What does Ubuntu mean? (from the website above)
Ubuntu is an African word meaning 'Humanity to others', or 'I am what I am because of who we all are'. The Ubuntu Linux distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.​

After the first few days of training camp, Nate said that Berger would beat Kosier out for the starting job.

That being said, I'm not sure that Nate knocking McQ on his guard play is such a bad thing. With Holland around, the guard situation should be more than set. McQ is supposed to be an offensive tackle anyway.

or he's really raw because he played only 2 years at a DivIII school, and is only in his 3rd year in the NFL and has hardly played guard there either
