Columbo Extension

Just saw this at RotoWorld, the Cowboys and Marc Columbo have agreed to a four year extension.  This solidifies our line until 2010, with all starters locked up until at least then. 

I think this is a great move, because while he isn't the best athlete, or most technically sound guy on our line, it's Columbo that consistently brings the fire and energy to the unit. It's also good news because we don't exactly have any world-beaters competing for time behind the starters.

Great sign

He’s been consistant and reliable…

If you think about Marc

He hasn’t played all that many NFL games. He should continue to get better and keep getting more lower body strength.

"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."

I thought both he and Flo played great games

against the Steelers. Harrison’s sack came on an inside move on Bigg.

It will be nice to see a healthy Flo

up against Tuck this week.

George Teague did it all.

Up until Holland went down...

They struggled once Proctor came in. We have got to solve the left guard situation or the Gints, Ravens and Eagles will be pounding Proctor to a pulp on the way to Romo.

Awesome.

He’s my fav Olineman. He’s a DOG!

I like Columbo because he has a nasty streak

and do you ever notice that after a running play, whether its five yards or fifty yards, Columbo is one of the first players down the field to help pickup the running back..

by Deke on Dec 8, 2008 12:08 PM CST reply actions  

Yeah.

He’s a great team player—a great Cowboy. I also like that when a fight breaks out, he’s the 1st to get in a guy’s face and laugh at him.

George Teague did it all.

Solid player

A good passblocker and a better runblocker. As long as the injury issues are behind him, I like this,

well theres one good thing about jerry

if you come out and prove you can play well, he’s not afraid to throw down a good amount of money

In reference to how good the Steelers have been in their history: "No one is even close to them."- Steal Home

Good signing.

Columbo has an attitude and is tough as nails. We got him for a song, and now it’s paying off.
