Irvin Made An Interesting Point About Our OL...

Originally posted by CaptainAmerica from a sports forum:

...He said on the Mike & Mike interview that Dallas doesn't have one offensive lineman that, as a player on the field, is just plain ole' mean and nasty and gives the OL a tough guy personality. Erik Williams came to my mind as Irvin mentioned this. (I can still see Big E dominating his opponent in the 2nd NFC Championship game against San Fran and then during a timeout pouring water on his face and the camera in slo-mo showing him blowing water up in the air like a huge killer whale!) What a tough guy Big E was on that OL!

The other thing Irvin mentioned was that on the field these guys, in his opinion, don't pass the eyeball test. Those were his words. I'm not sure I agree with that, because Flo and Gurode are big guys, but that's what he said.

So, I gave Irvin's comment about a tough guy mentality some thought. Do we have a tough guy on our OL?

1)Adams...quiet, big teddy bear type.

2)Kosier...no real personality, quiet, does his job.

3)Gurode...definitely a good guy, not mean and nasty. Example: Haynesworth incident. Gurode forgives and only responds by repeatedly saying "Why did he do it?"

4) Rivera...looks like he could be a tough, mean guy, but he's not. He's just a solid workman like vet. Has some leadership qualities, but not a nasty type player.

5) Columbo...if there is one guy who has potential to be a tough guy it's Columbo. So far however, he's just knocking the rust off and trying to get the job done.
