RECAP: JJT on Norm Show
RECAP by InmanRoshi from a sports forum:
Vandy has a proven record, but is anyone at the Ranch privately concerned?
The question would be better asked who thinks this isn’t a big deal. They all think its between his ears. There are grave concerns. They hope he isn’t just going through this because of the field goal he missed against Pittsburg. I’m no Steve Hoffman, but there is something to the effect that he is missing wide right. His kicks seem to flutter with no power behind them.
Will TO start?
I don’t think anyone knows. If he goes through a week of practice and completes them there is a good chance he will.
If Bledsoe gets hurt, who would the Cowboys call on to be a 3rd QB?
Parcells alluded to someone yesterday. Todd Archer and I have tried to narrow it down. We don’t think its Quincy. For now we don’t know, but we’re working on it.
See if the name Jay Fiedler comes up at all.
I think he has some shoulder problems and couldn’t even throw the ball in camp in Tampa so I crossed him off my list, but I’ll check on it for you.
Does it surprise you that Drew Henson hasn’t caught on with anyone?
Not really. I think he will eventually. Right now teams have their rosters set and are familiar with the guys they have. And where is the recent tape on him? People around the league wonder why he got released. I like the guy, but he didn’t play well in practice. He had some moments and flashes, but he didn’t play well.
When camp began, the #1 goal was to improve the OL. Has it improved any?
I don’t think you can say that right now. I still think they were where they were when they showed up. The question is, should you have gotten a tackle in the second round instead of a tight end when you already got Witten? Instead of rolling the dice on guys like Fabini and Colombo? Colombo has done some good things, but when Parcells talks about Colombo he says he’s a tough competitor and he fights you. Now compare that to McQuinstan .. he goes on and on about his ability. In other words, you can only expect so much from Colombo.
Is there any worry about Kosier?
They believe he’ll be an adequate player. But they are under no illusions that he's going to be the next Larry Allen.
Was letting LA go a mistake?
It is, in that they didn’t get a guy better than him. Even in his reduced state, Larry is still better than Kosier. Now, Kosier can some things that Larry can’t do like blocking in space and blocking down to the 2nd level.
