Quote from JG about what is a physical football team.
Asked to define what a physical team looks like, Garrett invoked the comparison to the age old definition of pornography: “it’s hard to define but you know what it is when you see it.”

Too bad he backs up DWare. He’s be a great 3rd down rusher for Spencer

Yeah

I was thinking after this year he could be plugged in for Spencer. I know he backs up Ware on the weak side but can’t he play strong side as well?

If this were true, Tenn needs to be slapped. What are they thinking?

Actually had that discussion with Hudson Houck today while Doug Free worked with Tyron Smith on footwork for about 15 minutes following walkthrough. Kosier, an extremely intelligent guy, is the leader in the classroom. He’ll ask questions because he knows the rookies don’t know the answers and need to.

This question has been thrown around here some

Comment From Guest : With the potential move of playing Gurode at G and keeping Phil Costa at C, how has Costa looked?

Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas):
Costa looks like a solid backup who might be over his head as a starter. He definitely is outmatched by Jay Ratliff.

Babe Laufenberg is beating the Gurode to guard drum, and he wouldn’t make a suggestion like that on CBS 11 without some inside knowledge. So there’s some real smoke there. But one source reminded me today that Gurode wasn’t a very good guard when he played there early in his career.

Only in an extreme emergency

from ESPN chat
Tim MacMahon (ESPNDallas): Kitna out to Bennett for 15. … Smith and Kosier — again at right guard — handle Spencer/Spears. Spencer slipped through on stunt next rep.

Also…

Arkin is working next to Free. Ware’s speed as he twists inside is tough for Arkin to handle. Arkin got beat straight up by Hatcher the next rep, maybe anticipating a stunt.

In the Roy draft we could have had Oher with the 24th pick....

Imagine him for Colombo last year. The Tyron pick wouldn’t have been such a desperation pick this year. We might have been able to draft a d lineman. Giving up a 3rd in the Roy draft too was terrible. if your an astute gm by now that third round pick would be ready to seriously contribute now.

They fixed it quickly and won the superbowl....To fix a position u have to draft

players in those positions. You can’t keep drafting linebackers. Drafting a true nt has done wonders for their defense. Jus saying you can’t focus on 1 position for years. I don’t knowif was Wade or what saying he needed more linebackers. But when Jerry said Wade knew nfl talent you knew something was really wrong.

Hell no.

If Carter’s not ready, he’s PUP for 6 weeks. If not ready after that, IR. That way we don’t have to sneak someone through waivers. That’s exactly how we lost Elam in 2006. Parcells loved Elam for his hustle and ST play. He wanted to keep Austin (I think it was Austin) and no way was Austin making it through waivers again after the preseason he’d had, so Parcells cut Elam. He wasn’t on the waiver wire a freaking day…

Frankly, I always wondered why the coaches won't give Choice a shot

He is the only back we have had that has cranked out 100 yard games consistently when he was a starter. I know it’s a very small sample size, but he toted the rock against PIT and some good defenses.

I’m so sick of seeing Felix Jones tap out when he is winded. I hope this Murray kid beats him out eventually. I really hope they know what they’re doing with these backs. Jones is the perfect 3rd down back. He is dangerous in space and unable to carry a load.

It just seems like whenever Jones and Barber were both hurt with their various maladies…Choice always performed.

by bewareofdware on Aug 8, 2011 6:40 PM CDT reply actions  

I agree

Everyone that wants to trade him now is crazy. I understand we want to get something for him, but what would we get? A 6th round pick? It’s not worth it, Jones has injury concerns and so does Murray. We may need Choice because odds are one of the other two will get hurt.

by Dynamicduo on Aug 8, 2011 6:53 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions  

Choice can't (or won't) block

He misses his blocking assignments and doesn’t contribute on ST. Agreed he’s a good runner and has performed when called on, but he limits roster flexibilty and can get his QB killed.

That’s why he’s in Garrett’s doghouse, and that’s why I think Miller will be the 3rd back in 2011.
