I'm guessing you are talking about UDFA's Tony Romo and Miles Austin and 7th rounder Jay Ratliff. None of whom started opening day their rookie years.

Ratliff played in 4, started 1 his rookie season. Started no games his second year and became a fulltime starter in his 3rd season.

Romo played in 0 games his rookie year and just 6 games his next year. He wasn't a starter until just under the halfway point of his 4th year.

Same deal with Austin, wasn't a starter until halfway through his 4th year.

Nothing wrong with developing undrafted or low round picks. They shouldn't be your starters going into their rookie season unless your team was devastated by injuries. This is a result of God awful planning and a belief in a certain GM's wanting to show he can find players no one else can and show that he is smarter than everyone. If Nagy came into camp and blew the doors off everyone and beat out an experienced veteran, I would back off. He didn't. Holland was pretty much out all of camp. He beat out a small school rookie and UDFA rookies.

So what you're saying is that there is zero percent chance that we improved our team with our offensive line decisions?

0 percent? No.

Are these guys ready to be starting offensive linemen on a playoff caliber team. Same answer.

Gurode wasn't going to start either.

The coaching staff already made that decision.

I think we'll revisit this thread at some point this year.

I'm with cmd34. Nobody will convince me that right now, whoever is starting at center week one is on par with Andre Gurode. Will that player develop into something eventually? Maybe. Andre Gurode was the best center on the team up until a few hours ago.

I feel like we've upgraded the guard position and RT spot and I have no idea at center. I don't understand why we cut Gurode but I think overall our Oline is better than it was last year. Plus another year of Free and a healthy Kosier.

If you agree then wtf are you crying about?

Not changing the subject.

Are we better than last year's unit? Right now, no. I realize how bad Colombo and at times, Davis, was but we just have too much inexperience right now . Yes, we cut some deadweight but we should have added at least 1 more veteran. We knew we were breaking in Tyron. Now we are starting 3 players with a combined 4 games experience. It's going to haunt us all season long.

How Zone'ish of you. If you don't applaud everything the Cowboys do then you are crying? My opinion is that this is a mistake.

How can someone with Tyler Durden as their avatar be such a mindless company man.

They were turrible. Just turrible. Couldn't move in pass protection and got no push in the run game.

Gurode - not turrible. But we're moving on for some reason.

Overall - line is better. It's more athletic and what's more it is showing in the preseason. When was the last time (preseason or otherwise) you saw our run blocking look like this? It's looking really really good and so is Felix.

Just dumb to be jumping to conclusions at this point.

Agreed about Felix.

Don't feel like I'm jumping to conclusions. if anything I would say that the team is doing that by feeling Nagy and Costa are ready to start.

How many teams have cut their Pro Bowl center during the middle of the pre-season?
