Notice. (Scandrick)

[Bonecrusher#31]

Getting back to the topic of this thread, I think Scandrick would be a decent FS or at least better than Ball.
He hits harder and seems to play better when he is sitting back and has to close in on a play.

I'm aware of what took place with Gurode.

Gurode was a G in college. I don't care where he played entering college. I care where he was when he finished and where he was projected in the NFL. Everybody had him at G.

I don't remember that Jerry quote. And I won't take your word for it.

He started here at C because of personnel. Flozell Adams started at G for the same reason. It's common with young lineman getting their first snaps in the NFL. You play them where you need them for the time being. That doesn't mean that's where you see him all along.

He failed at C. He was moved to G. His natural position. He failed there too.

Football Jesus moved him back to C, said a few hail his mothers, and we got a pretty solid C out of it. From a guy who was lost and written off before the greatest coach to ever walk a sideline arrived.

I'll chalk up the draft as something else your pretty clueless about then.

Everybody noted Gurode's ability to play both G and C at a high level, it was one of the reasons he was drafted as high as he was.

He wasnt lost and written off before Parcells got ahold of him. Gurode was drafted in 2002 and Parcells arrived in 2003. Gurode had an excellent rookie season, especially when he was playing center.

Parcells promptly wasted a 2003 2nd rd pick on Al Johnson, to play center.

Pet rocks could probably play FS better than Ball.

That said, they toyed with Scandrick moving to FS once before. Maybe its a move they'll consider again in the offseason. The only downside with that is Scandrick's biggest weakness is his ball skills. He doesnt make many plays on the ball and when he does he usually drops it.

Appearantly you're not.

Re-read as many times as neccessary until you understand.

Possibly. I think so as well, but it's one of those cases where he thinks he should be the starting CB. Another Pete Hunter. McCann could then be the nickel.

Yeah, learn me on the NFL Draft, bubba. Fill me in on your untapped knowledge.

I can pull out a stack of books from that year and not a single publication will list Andre Gurode at C. It's irrelevant if anybody talked about him maybe being able to play C. That would fit 75% of the OL prospects from any year. Few are defined as this one position or bust.

Gurode was drafted as a G. His long term future here when we picked him was at G. That's why Parcells had him there his first year. Not because of any player evaluation. He just arrived. He had no prior history with the player.

But it quickly became clear to the first ballot hall of famer that he'd be better served at C. So he moved there. Which is exactly what I said in my original and correct comment.

Gurode, the first two years, was headed straight to bustville. His last shot was the final switch to C. That's why FJ told him in camp "I'm not gonna let you fail." You don't say that to a player who is performing to expectations.

Actually Parcells moved him to center. He was a G in college and a G prospect in the pros.

But don't let me get in the way of your complete idiocy.

Actually, once again , you are wrong. But, what else is new.

He was drafted as a fucking center by Dallas, then, Parcells moved him to G , which was a disaster, and moved him back.

Go be a dumbass on someone else's block jackwagon.

Pull out whatever you want. I just looked at one earlier today, and Kiper noted Gurode's ability to play C and G.

And Jones absolutely made the comment about Gurode on draft day that he envisioned him playing C for the Cowboys.

Tell me what Kiper said. Then I'll check to confirm.

Many OL prospects are talked about like that. But they have one position where they are slotted as their best for the NFL. Kiper had Gurode at G. And not because he was all hells yes over his ability to play C. If he viewed him as a C, he'd have listed him as a C.

PFW. G.

Sporting News. G.

Frank Coyle...you probably don't know who he is, but please learn me on the draft....had him at G.

I still don't remember that Jerry comment. And you'd be one of the last people I'd take their word for when the subject's Cowboys.
