No Practice For Marc Colombo, Likely Out For Sunday

The news isn't good, Marc Colombo will miss today's practice and sources say he won't play on Sunday. The news is the same for Kyle Kosier, who we kind of knew wasn't going to play anyway.

ESPN Dallas:

Dallas Cowboys right tackle Marc Colombo won't practice Thursday and is not expected to play in Sunday night's season opener against the Washington Redskins, a source told ESPNDallas.com.

Hmm,

Do you mean “Rollouts” like the play? Or rolling out from under the pile?!?…..This could get ugly.

This is just great.....

Our C- Offensive Lineman are too hurt to play, so we have to start our D- OL guys…. Romo is leaving in an ambulance with Mike Shanni calling crazy blitzes!!! Argh!!!

Better be practicing screens right now...

And they better get the ball quickly into the RB’s hands via the PASS, so they don’t get killed at the line trying to run through non-existant holes…

The old adage is

that older players don’t necessarily get hurt more so much as they take longer to heal. That’s why seeing injured O-lineman fills me with such dread. I hope this waiting game doesn’t become the story of the season…

Put Free back at RT and start Barron at LT.

There has been talk of that, but I doubt if they do it.

-1

Why would you make your most important position on O line weaker and put a guy in a different position than he has been working all offseason on becoming good. Moving people around was not the answer. Drafting linemen or trading for guys like wells, dockerry, jamaal brown, andrews was the answer. Instead of having 3 running backs, 6 receivers, get a god damn O linemen so that our pro bowl qb will have enough time to throw. Give up a 1 and a 2 for roy williams and than follow that up by using a 1 on a receiver. Thats 2 first round picks and a 2nd round pick for williams and bryant who may not catch 10 balls between them with romo running for his life.

No way

Free is the best, he stays on the left (I made a rhyme)

hope romo is prepared

for a bunch of lookout blocks by the OL..in case u don’t know what that means you will see holland turn around and yell at romo LOOKOUT!

I think the Saints will be on Favre,

like a duck on a Junebug. I doubt he finishes the game. Take the Saints at -4 1/2

by DIRE WOLF on Sep 9, 2010 3:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

No way

Vikings pass rush will dominate Brees. Everyone forgets the Turnover battle is what cost the Vikings.. they dominated every other aspect. Can you count on AD fumbling with 30secs left in the half on the 15yard line.. no

Go Vikes crush Who Dat nation

Really?! Really?!

Not going to happen.

Favre will retire for a 76th time after tonight.

If he fits at all keep Barron at LT

I can’t recall his perfomance of prior preseason games but watched a replay of the Miami game last night . Barron at RT looked very slow. Cant keep up we speed rushers was caught for holdiing and may have looked like held other times. We need a veteran free agent pickup or risk losing Romo.

by phantom7007 on Sep 9, 2010 3:07 PM CDT reply actions  

He was just as bad on the left

I thought so, too

The Cowboys ran a neat 75% overall from heavy formations. Defensive coordinators knew what was coming -- but it didn't matter. - Rafael Vela

Just got back from Barfing Green Nation

You’re not going to believe this, but those guys are auctioning off a frickin “Man Date” with their middle linebacker!

No homo, but that’s gotta be the gayest thing I’ve ever heard of.

Actually, here's what's going to happen

They’re going to raffle off a dinner with their inside linebackers and it’s going to be just a table with two empty chairs.

by Blue Eyed Devil on Sep 9, 2010 4:01 PM CDT up reply actions  

Witten likely.....

one catch as he will be blocking all night.

I have little faith in most them but I’m willing to suffer with free who has upside. Put Brewster in there if plan “A” fails which I suspect. again, it looks like another 5 year project is being planned.

It’s the thinking that is all wrong aside from events.

If the Cowboys win this game

the sky is the limit. With all of the question marks about this team, a win could lead to some great things this season

by danielcp0303 on Sep 9, 2010 3:58 PM CDT reply actions  

the defense will win the game

and I think that will happen more often than not this year until the OL can get healthy

In Romo we Trust

by Terry on Sep 9, 2010 4:39 PM CDT up reply actions  

winning 2 out of 3 phases would be great.

maybe this game it will be Defense and Special Teams

by BishopWest on Sep 9, 2010 5:35 PM CDT up reply actions  

Man the way we're talkin here

It’s like our Offensive linemen are crippled old farts who will get broke in half by these big badass Redskin defense. For some reason, I just don’t feel that scared about it. Just reading their fan’s comments gives me so much confidence. They know they suck worse than we do obviously, hmmm

Just becuz you put yer boots in the oven don't make it bread

by dcfansinceiwasababy on Sep 9, 2010 4:11 PM CDT reply actions  

well we didn't exactly light up the scoreboard

against Washington in either game last year. Coming out of this offseason, I think most football fans would agree the Redskins have improved on an already solid defense…thus, the anxiety and hand-wringing you see here.

Pirates Vs. Ninjas? Psh......Cowboys, baby.

by oneinsider on Sep 9, 2010 4:20 PM CDT up reply actions  

The match-up of their Pro-Bowl OLB (Orakpo) versus our RT (Barron) is big in their favor

and I think Holland will struggle when they line up Albert Haynesworthless in his face

by BishopWest on Sep 9, 2010 5:41 PM CDT up reply actions  

He'll get a lot of help.

Or a least he better.

WOW

 We should just stay home this week. By the sound of things we are playing the best team in the NFL this week. Did you ever think that we have the best OSLB and they are starting 2 new tackles???

by tattooed cowboy on Sep 9, 2010 4:20 PM CDT reply actions  

Funny how things work

last year, Dallas was a healthy team starting the season, and the Eagles were ravaged by injuries.

This year, Dallas is ravaged by injuries, and the Eagles are the healthiest team in the NFL right now.

Go figure.

by Dub_TC on Sep 9, 2010 6:06 PM CDT reply actions  

Thank God Washington has their share of issues.

McNabb’s bad ankle, Haynesworth causing his usual trouble. I just hope they can get healthy before they have to play another elite team. OL should have been more of a draft priority.
