Archer: Cowboys done with OL rebuild

[Smitty]

Haha...singing the praises of Free...from you, is hilarious. Keep going.

Thanks I guess.... yes, I will keep saying that Free was the third best OL on the team this year.

Also.... Bernadeau and Leary were average starters (by the end of the year, Leary was actually below average -- he was not good against Washington at all). They were not huge weaknesses but they are both very replaceable, which is why we were trying to do that in the draft.

Frederick was good and I love his potential but he was probably only an above average starting center (Something I consider excellent for a rookie starting center). So if Free was worse then that and our guards were both far worse then that, I'm still wondering how the hell we were able to have a RB get over 5 yards a pop. Sheer luck?

The guards were better then you give credit. Which I have said multiple times doesn't eliminate the need for a guard. Bernie is a one hit wonder at this point and Leary has a knee that everyone should still be worried about. So yeah no one should be counting on those two as long term starters but it doesn't take away from the season they had last year.

He solidified the interior of the OL. How is that bad?
