You didn't need stats to determine where Proctor ranked.

Thanks for all the hard work on this stuff. I always enjoy it.

Weren't the cowboys interested in Darren Colledge when he came out in the draft?

That would match up with their talent appraisal of olinemen they have drafted over the last couple of years, wouldn't it?

Yes, but they wanted him to play right tackle and possibly take over for Flo at LT.

He played LT in college, so the change to guard *might* be effecting him. He seemed to "get it" in the second half of last season.

So yeah, the scouting of college O-Linemen in the Parcells era stunk, but Darren Colledge may have been a worthy talent if he was at the correct position. The Packers have 2 excellent offensive tackles in Tauscher and Clifton.

What are you rating them on?

 

[arglebargle]

Would've been happy to have him try LG here. Of course, I would have been happy to have almost anyone try LG here.

Would the stats have gone up if you had included the games Kozier and Holland started? They got kudos for playing better, did their games back that up?

 

[TwentyOne]

When Womack & Womack is considered the better player then you then you know you are bad.

Well, they played roughly 4 games. Too small of a sample size to tell. I think it's obvious that they were better. Kosier finished 10th in 2006 and 23rd in 2007 (remember, we kept running the ball with Julius Jones, so that hurt him a bit).

if we would have had montrae holland in the whole time it wouldn't be that way. I'm suprised proctor didn't get last.
