In the comments of my previous post, Skinny asked if I would prepare my "Big Uglies" analysis of Brian Schwenke for a comparative analysis to our Travis Frederickson. The following are my thoughts...
Some of you may be aware, but I suspect many are not, that my wife passed away March 28th due to a brain aneurysm. OCC was generous with his time to take my place at Drafttek during my leave of...
Think he would take a low-ball offer to return to Dallas?
"A swing and a miss . . . " Some of my Drafttek brethren refer to me as "Grumpy Ump", as I will get on their case with a "Ste-e-e-e-rike One!" when they are late on their selection comments (heaven...
I was asked by RKO to put together a list of my "Top 5 Hits & Top 5 Misses" as a Fanshot, but after reviewing the data I felt like some explanations might be in order; therefore, I am submitting it...
Then you have no business hosting a Super Bowl . . . yep, Cuzzin Jerruh had trouble with some seats, but that had no danger in affecting the outcome of the game! It would have been a crying shame...
But even I had to laugh at his Saturday morning one-liner: "Injuries on the offensive line are making Cowboys owner Jerry Jones worry about the ability of QB Tony Romo to "feel good about his protection." (There’s a "glory hole" joke in there, somewhere.)"
Former HC Jimmy Johnson was a proponent of playing the best 5 players on the offensive line and then left it up to Tony Wise and later Hudson Houck to "coach ‘em up". Whether it was moving Kevin...
Shazaam! Not exactly the sub 4.4 everyone was expecting . . . looks like OCC's bed-time prayer was answered!
Let him sit behind Drayton Florence, Aaron Williams, Stephon Gilmore and Leodis McKelvin . . . LOL!
The former Texas A&M and Plano West DE has signed a contract with the Cowboys and will be going to training camp in Oxnard, CA.
Trumaine Johnson was NOT taken in the 2nd round . . . it's time to pay up, brutha! Contact me for my PayPal Swiss Bank Account information . . . LOL!
Just got off the phone with a buddy of mine in KC and he confirmed what I had heard on my end that the Cowboys and Chiefs are discussing a potential trade of 1st round selections (14 for 11). ...
Hot off the press for your reading pleasure, this installment covers 3-4 Defensive Ends. Originally, I was going to include DE43 and OLB34 in this segment, but there are so many of those fellers to talk about, decided to make it a separate post (Translation: I'm buying time to finish it . . . LOL!) Here's the link: http://www.drafttek.com/2012-NFL-Draft-3-4-DE-Review.asp
I jump over to defensive tackles, for both the 4-3 and 3-4 alignments, are covered in this episode . . . hope you enjoy! http://www.drafttek.com/2012-NFL-Draft-Interior-dL-Review.asp
Since I made you wait so long, a double-dipper treat . . . both guards and centers are covered in this episode! http://www.drafttek.com/2012-NFL-Draft-Interior-OL-Review.asp
Scroll down to last question: Jerry Jones said you are likely to draft a defender in the round because of the guards you signed in free agency. Does it look like you have a good grouping of defensive players to choose from? Garrett: We are not ready to make that comment. We are picking 14th. We are going to start our draft meetings next week and go through the process. Attaboy Jason . . . now there's some brass ones for ya!

This one covers right offensive tackles: http://www.drafttek.com/2012-NFL-Draft-Right-Offensive-Tackle-Review.asp
If Peyton wants his personal center Jeff Saturday at Denver, would you offer Denver the original 3rd round draft choice they used for center J.D. Walton from Baylor?
It's b-a-a-a-ck . . . the first installment covers left offensive tackles on Drafttek: http://www.drafttek.com/2012-NFL-Draft-Left-Offensive-Tackle-Review.asp

Once again another one of Cuzzin Jerruh’s strategies has gone straight to the sewer systems of Dallas, Texas. I was totally disgusted when this one-man election committee decided that Charles...
"We should just be thankful he (Jerry) hasn’t put on pantyhose and white boots and appointed himself head cheerleader."

But the bottom line is, he lost this game . . . skip to the jump (and screw you Big Ham, this is not a Fan shot!):
“Protect the Shield!” Well, once again Sheriff Goodell has demonstrated that his empty battle cry embarrasses the NFL shield as much as the Tin Star he wears on his chest! Let’s see,...
Sorry boys, but when I read that Cuzzin Jerruh is not going to sign a F/A offensive lineman, my blood started to boil . . . jump on down with me and yours will too . . .
Yep, old Long Ball moved during the draft . . . doesn’t say much for my ability at strategic planning, eh? The last time I moved, I was much, much younger and have discovered sore areas of my...
