Dallas Cowboys offensive tackles Doug Free and Marc Colombo hit rough spots in the first half of Saturday night's game at Arizona.

Free had his seventh false-start penalty of the season during a second-quarter possession. The Cowboys overcame the penalty to score on the possession, on a 42-yard field goal by David Buehler.

Free is third in the NFL for false-start penalties. Indianapolis' Ryan Diem and Baltimore's Michael Oher lead with eight each.

It is the most false starts for a Cowboys' lineman since Flozell Adams had nine in 2008. Free replaced Adams this season.

Colombo gave up three sacks in the half, two by Darnell Dockett in a span of three plays during the second quarter. According to STATS Inc., Colombo has allowed a team-high 9 ½ sacks.

NOT ONE of these O-linemen should be back next season. But, they will be.

Colomblow and Davis should be gone for sure.

And Free needs to be kicked in the nuts for those false starts.

I know, But, I am DONE with all of them. I would rather go with all rooks and 2nd year players then deal with these 5 sorry fucks again next season.

Me too, but I don't see us getting rid of all of them next year.

I agree. But, there is always hope.
