This is awful.

And what is the deal with Holland? I remember him being a solid guard. He’s got to get it together. How fat can he be?

The running backs to pick up the inside pressure.

With all these young offensive lineman, how does the ‘easiest’ of the line positions to replace cause such a major problem?

I don’t get for the life of me how Procter is the best fit. Regardless of Hollands weight. Why are we so inflexible here?

I thought it was a good trade to deal a fifth round pick in 2010 for a starting quality guard that would give us protection in case one of the guars went down with an injury, but what the hell has happened to Holland. The system terminalogy is pretty much the same as when he was in New Orleans but the guy still isn’t in shape yet!!!! We’re two and a half month’s into the season for crying out loud….

We have to find someone to take the left guard spot away from proctor, he just isn’t starting material, IMO on this team, barely a backup center in fact. He shouldn’t be on this team next year. Where is Qcquisten, can he not step up, he’s played some guard….or even Doug Free, both are better options you would think….

Man this season is wearing me out. Just when this team starts to get on track, they lose not one but two vital players for the season. Who knows what the prognosis is on Jenkins either. The way this year is going, I’m waiting to hear he is out for the year too.

Time for the money players to step it up big time. This kind of crap will keep this team down, though. Backups who can’t play by week 13? What the hell kind of insurance policy is that?

Exactly what I’ve wondering. Holland has got to be TERRIBLE not to even be considered for replacing KK.

why not let him be our space eating NT?

Is the sprain so bad that we couldn’t rest him until the post season? If there is a post season.

What’s Larry Allen up to these days? :)
LOL

In preseason, our backup line looked bad, but Protor did not seem to be the best of the bunch. He is not performed well except in small spurts, yet the staff does not seem to consider anyone else worthy or reps in pactice.

Are some of the backups dinged? Do they all have bigger warts then Protor? Really?

It seems the coaching staff has had 8 weeks to consider life without Kosier and should have come up with something better then Proctor. Makes you wonder what they know that we don’t know.

On the upside the blocking at the TE and FB position are better then they were earlier in the season.

Where are these guys? Why aren’t they ready to play?

O-line is the one area that we really haven’t developed a good player in the last 5 years. Flozell is our own guy too, but Kosier, Bigg, and Columbo are all FA’s and all our draft picks are back-up level (or lower). Now, I’m not knocking Parcells, Jerry, Ireland, or anyone else, but this is where Peterman, Rogers, Marten, Free, and McQ could really help this team. Instead, 3 of these guys aren’t even here and the other guys can’t even play back up LG? Man…

They won’t be ready for Thurs, but get one of them snaps with the 1st team during the 10 day stretch before PIT. Enough with Proctor. Dallas’ first obligation should be to keep Romo upright. If he goes down with injury again, the season is finished.

I can’t argue with anything here. all the other young OL on the roster and nobody worth even consideration

maybe they’ll put those young guys in for some series and see how they do. Maybe they just don’t look good in practice but can get it done if they get in the game.

No one’s brought this up, but it may also be that the coaches aren’t willing to risk Romo getting hurt. One missed block and he gets smacked. The same reason young RB’s won’t play if they don’t know the ‘pass-protection.’ Maybe it’s the mental part not the physical part of the game that’s holding these guys back.

Not that there’s an excuse for that, they SHOULD be ready.

Thanks for posting this. I was wondering why Montrae couldnt get on the field. This is a possible explanation.

I have no sympathy for this pathetic fatbody. He’s paid tens of thousands per game, and he can’t get off the buffet line. It’s called self control and discipline, and those who don’t have it should be punished. Put him on PUP and ridicule his fat @ss every week he doesn’t see significant weight loss.

What happened to McQ, Free, and Marten? It seems like this is a golden opportunity to see what those guys can do from the guard spot. And don’t give me the Procter has more experience thing, because McQ played his rookie year and was once thought of as having potential.

The only way I want to see Procter out there is if they kicked Gurode out to LG and let Procter play Center. He’s not bad there, and Gurode can be a pretty good Guard while Holland hits the treadmill. At least, Procter hasn’t shown a pinchon for high shotgun snaps.
