Yes sir! And no Pete's kid "leading" the OL. lol. Dennison is going to find the 5 best guys for that system and we are going to be a run heavy team. We were dead last in rushing last year with Jeanty stuck behind that OL. With him and Washington we are sure to be pounding away at defenses in the league.

...disagree.....many of the kids we have drafted over the last few years or so were seen for the o line were seen as having been good value when drafted, and developing those kids with the skills to become good players, is what makes a good o line, as no can afford to have all 1's and 2' across a starting o line, or at least, not for long., and bringing those kids along and integrating them in to a line is what makes or breaks most of them.
....when the o line group is meeting in private to try and decipher what their actual assignments are, that is a problem, and if you can't get to the point to where you know your assignments, have the mental part down and can then just go play, you are going to look over matched out there against others who are just figuring off the ball and trying to beat you.

I agree and disagree at the same time. I agree that the talent at both guard spots and right tackle is trash to below average. But I do think coaching will help significantly. But most importantly, and I keep stressing this, QB play matters the most. We keep saying let Cousins get the snot beat out of him but it's not going to be a true tell tale sign on how good the line is bc Cousins is just not a good QB, especially now, no matter what the truthers want to believe. I honestly do not believe we will truly know how good our line is until Mendoza is under center. His youth, intelligence, accuracy and ability to get the ball out fast will make our line better.

Just to clarify the Kirk video taken by Jesse Merrick.



Jesse was surprised that his video of Kirk went a little viral. He was simply getting Kirk on film and felt bad that people saw it as Kirk being slow and not deserving of being named QB1. For his exact comments, go to 18:44 of the below video to hear him explain.



It's day 3 of TC. Not time to panic yet.

From the way back machine...

Someone said in the comments for that Cousins video..."i thought that was Tony Romo's sobriety test"
