Get ready for some training camp fights with Waletzko probably right in the middle.

A couple years ago he was thrown out of a game for giving a running clothes line to a dude that had hit his QB late. Ripped him right off his feet and snuffed out his fire. Caused both benches to empty into a pretty good brawl. Some people were pissed that he wasn't suspended, and only kicked out of that game. Straight up nasty with this guy.

I've looked for a video clip of it, but let's be real. It was a UND game. Not a whole lot of those video clips floating around on youtube.

I love this kid. Probably more than most, considering my homerism, but this just seems to be putting a lot of unnecessary pressure on the kid right from the start. Why would he say this? If he has to say we won't be looking for veteran help at swing tackle, mention how we like the other guys already on the roster. Like they usually do anyway.

They are putting pressure on all of them. It is a little different now for some reason.

Well, that beats the hell out of just handing them the keys to the city and babying them like the old days, I guess.

IF he can develop this could be a nasty Oline between Smith, Martin, and himself.

This guy is the surprise pick of the cowboys draft, I just watched the Senior bowl game and he was physical and quick for his size. He played in the beginning of the 2nd half of the game and he can play in the NFL NOW!!! He should not start but he is definitely a backup tackle for us. I watched him play in the senior bowl practices and he seem better than Pennington. He is very athletic, physical and tough, he is our HIDDEN gem of the draft. He might be our future left tackle and Smith can be our Pro Bowler Guard. I'm excited about this draft.

Didn't realize he was at the Senior Bowl, I may have to go back and watch.
