Doug Free could miss 3-4 weeks with a foot injury

[Jiggyfly]

If you think that Martin would be as good at tackle as at guard, then the question is, who is better, Parnell at tackle or Bernadeau at guard? Parnell has been downright bad the last year or so.

Obviously this board doesn't think that Martin translates to tackle. And if the staff thinks it's too big a learning curve and he'd struggle, fine.

I would consider it at least though.

You keep making statements like this that have no merit he did fine when he had to start for Smith and he did fine when he rotated with Free, when did he play bad?

You do not move a rookie to tackle at this point in the season especially when he has not practiced the position at all you are just asking for trouble.

Teams have won games with less at RT just look at the Eagles and Giants.

He watches the games.

I guess I just am imagining Parnell's struggles all preseason when he was warmed over dogshit.

He also thought Leary was downright bad last year.

The whole team looked like that, though.

Not confident in him either.

But I am not disrupting two positions on the OL because he looked bad at preseason. I would have him on a short leash for a week or two.

 

[Smitty]

He was. Leary has been infinitely better this year than he was late last year.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Leary had plenty to do with Murray's 5.2 yards per carry last year.

And yet he was inconsistent and struggled heavily way too often.

Just another player you absolutely hated and were absolutely wrong about.

 

[Smitty]

Just another player you absolutely hated and were absolutely wrong about.

I did not "absolutely hate" Leary -- he was bad last year down the stretch, and he's playing much better now.

Tell me another one about being absolutely wrong, Mr. I'm a Homer With All My Predictions.

 

[Jiggyfly]

And yet he was inconsistent and struggled heavily way too often.

Yeah that's the reason he took over as the starter as soon as he was healthy during camp.

Sorry but the facts just don't fit your narrative.

stop fighting mom and dad we're good now

If my homeristic predictions are actually correct, doesn't that just make them realistic predictions?

Schmitty,
How confident were you in Doug Free coming into this season?

 

[Smitty]

Yeah that's the reason he took over as the starter as soon as he was healthy during camp.

Sorry but the facts just don't fit your narrative.

Beating out the astounding Mackenzie Bernadeau is really something to brag about.

Newsflash... Bernadeau is another player that, if he was playing now, I'd be saying we need to upgrade.

Last year the two players were about equal. Actually, I seem to remember some people on here even saying Bernadeau was better, there was legit debate about it.

Leary took a step this year. It's that simple.

You are a moron if you think he's not playing light years better this year as opposed to last year.

 

[Smitty]

If my homeristic predictions are actually correct, doesn't that just make them realistic predictions?

No, because as Iamtdg pointed out, it doesn't take any insight when you keep predicting the same exact thing and are eventually right.

 

[Smitty]

Schmitty,
How confident were you in Doug Free coming into this season?

His play last year did not make me feel that he needed to be immediately replaced. Right now he's the fifth best player on the line though.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

No, because as Iamtdg pointed out, it doesn't take any insight when you keep predicting the same exact thing and are eventually right.

Sounds like the fans that predict shit seasons for Dallas every year...

 

[Smitty]

Sounds like the fans that predict shit seasons for Dallas every year...

At least those fans have evidence on their side.

Anyway... Leary is playing much better this year than last year... if you can't admit that, then there is no reason to continue this conversation.
