I feel kind of let down in the Cowboys. Some nasty articles are out about what people have said about his penalty history. Apparently at this point we should be happy to get flozell back. Flozell was #2 in penalty's right behind Barren. -.- wtf boys. <br /><br />But oh well our main line is back again this weekend. <br /><br />WBFhttp://www.google.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811331821288362578.post-88217062840837425722010-09-15T19:11:28.444-05:002010-09-15T19:11:28.444-05:00I'm not dooming our season in week 1.

I think Free is a decent tackle that can play well at either tackle spot. Hence, he makes the perfect backup in my opinion. As far as I know, mcneil only has experience on the left side.

The reason why taking a knee is the smart thing to do is because something unexpected might happen. You take the knee specifically to avoid the interception run back for a touchdown, the fumble that gets returned for a touchdown, etc. Not that Tashard Choice shouldn't take responsibility for the fumble.

Romo was told not to let plays develop. Garret and Phillips had him convinced that the line could not hold and he rarely gave them a chance to do so. Romo is quick enough that he could and did dodge a few times. <br /><br />If Magycianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15840179489574540659noreply@blogger.com
