DMN Blog: Goose shuts out Cowboys' o-line

Hall of Fame scribe Rick "Goose" Gosselin ranked the top 32 offensive linemen in the league, and the Cowboys are the only NFC East team without at least one representative.

C Andre Gurode and LT Flozell Adams were Pro Bowlers last season. Gurode has only one good season under his belt, and it's arguable whether Adams deserved to go to Hawaii. RG Bigg Davis was considered a bust as a tackle with the Cardinals before Jerry handed him a $16 million check. Maybe I'm drinking the silver-and-blue Kool-Aid, but I'll bet Gurode and Davis will bulldoze their way into elite status by the end of the season.

A couple guys with Cowboys ties did make the cut. San Francisco's Larry Allen, the best O-lineman in Cowboys' history, is No. 28. Kansas City guard Brian Waters is No. 14. The Cowboys signed Waters, who won a Class 4A state title with Waxahachie, as an undrafted free agent after he played DT and TE at North Texas. They tried to make him a fullback and cut him during training camp. The Chiefs signed Waters and sent him to NFL Europe for a season to learn to play offensive line. Way to go, Campo.
