Oh, so one play tells the whole story now. K gotcha pocketaces. :p

Like I said... it's not like I'm sitting here saying we haven't done it AT ALL. I'm saying we don't do it enough. If you guys think we do it enough, then that's cool. We just disagree, and that ain't a crime.

3rd in the league in total offense and 6th in passing. Sure we could throw down field more but why fix it if it aint broken? We need to fix short yardage plays before we work on anything else, thats whats costing us points.

6th in passing. Hmm.... are we forgetting something here? Consider how much we've passed this season and ignored the run game... Are you really satisfied with 6th? Stats can be deceiving.

If the priority is fixing one before the other, then yeah, short yardage is a bigger concern. I can agree with that. But I just felt like making note of another one of our offense's deficiencies. I miss the big play threats of year's past.

We move the ball well then crap our pants when it comes to scoring. Maybe we should try to throw it deep a little more and maybe we will have more points. Imagine if the Eagles threw deep every once in a while, what would there record be? Chargers?

Really? Throwing deep is the answer? How about picking up a yard against the Chargers on 3 trys? Think that changes the game? How about picking up first downs yesterday in short yardage, think we score more points then? Maybe I'm in the minority but I think the deep ball is the least of our problems.

Yeah I'm with you, its not a problem. Just discussing possibilities and what ifs. I remember pulling my hair out last year with Jason Garrett sending everyone deep. I'd rather live with what we have going instead of what we had last year.

I three-peat. It isn't our biggest problem.

We have redzone issues, kicker issues, short yardage issues, secondary issues, runs up the middle issues, LBs in coverage issues, Flozell issues, Roy Williams issues, OC issues, HC issues, Owner issues... have I left anything out??? LOL.

With a Jim Mora face on....

"Issue's??! Issues???! You talkin' about Issues??!!"

And yet we are 10-5 and playing for the division:D

Kosier can manipulate by moving his feet. Davis can not. Does not mean I am praising Kosier.

And fact is the MBIII failures were almost all behind Davis.

I love what we've done, but we can't act like we've actually accomplished anything yet.

From Matt Mosley NFC East Blog on ALL PROs

...... "LG Kyle Kosier (Don't laugh. I'm told by scouts that he's been the Cowboys' most consistent offensive lineman)."

Yeah I was going to post this myself but you beat me to it.

But anyways, that throw to Miles against the saints.... It looked too easy.. I know we are capable of doing that if we get the protection up front.

I dunno what that means... It doesn't mean best or else they would've just said he's been the Best Lineman.

Consistent... just means steady to me.

I would interpret that to mean consistently good. Kyle is consistently good.

crisco0710 · 12-29-2009, 12:38 PM

They were talking about pro bowlers for our team and he said Kosier will most likely be on the pro bowl team.

Macarthur · 12-29-2009, 01:06 PM

Kosier has been underappreciated his entire time here.

I have no problems with calling him "consistently good" too. I think he deserves that after this season. He hasn't given any reason to be bashed this year. Even his penalties are down. As a whole the OL has been a pleasant success this year. Even with Colubmo going down, Free has stepped up. Gurode has been steady. Davis does his thing. Flo frustrates me more than anyone, but I think this is the last year of enduring him.

Uh... no he hasn't. This is his first good year with us. Not like he's always deserved this praise.

How many Guards are selected? 4? I dunno if he's gonna make Top 4 in the NFC.

That's completely untrue. He was very good in 07 and I think we realized how important he is to the line last year when he was gone.

No. He was shaky and inconsistent in '07... Nothing praiseworthy by any means. He cost us the Giants game in the playoffs with his poor blocking (even getting chewed out by Romo ON THE FIELD).

Cory Proctor makes anyone look missed in '08. Besides, who gets praised for being injured? What a joke.

2 bad years, 1 good year. Only now does he deserve any praise.

Just ask yourself... Was he a Pro Bowler in '07 or '08? The answer is quite simply NO.

Macarthur · 12-29-2009, 04:06 PM

I never said he was a pro bowler.

Right. I guess you didn't. But at what point was he underappreciated? He's being appreciated now for finally producing. Prior to this season, he never deserved praise, imo.

JoeyHeisman · 12-29-2009, 04:28 PM

The best way to describe Kosier in the past would probably be just straight average. This year he's played really well though. And I loved how Doug Free played against Washington.

UTPATS · 01-03-2010, 10:09 PM

Very impressed with Free today as well! He has really stepped up. Romo's success is a combination of protection and his ability to buy time. Things could have been a lot different if Free wouldn't have stepped up after Colombo's injury.
