Cowboys lose 2 offensive linemen in a week. Kyle Kosier to miss a month due to injury!
 

NFl.com just reported Cowboy's OG Kyle Kosier is going to miss a month due to injury. That is two Boys linemen out in a week. Things are looking good for Sep 12 already, as long as the injury bug passes us by. This will help the run D maybe![url=http://www.nfl.com/trainingcamp/story/09000d5d819d885e/article/cowboys-kosier-likely-out-at-least-one-month-with-sprained-knee?module=HP_headlines]NFL.com news: Cowboys' Kosier likely out at least one month with sprained knee[/url]

They still have Alex Barron and Montrae Holland backing up the two guys that got hurt. That's not much of a drop off from Marc Colombo and Kyle Kosier. Besides they still have Davis and Gurode. Weather or not Free deserves to be mentioned as an asset is yet to be determined. The only way these injuries really give us an edge is if Barron can't go on opening day and Dallas is forced to start Brewster against Alexander/Carter.

Maybe not much of a drop off Dirt, but any edge couldn't hurt!!!!! We need to work on our run D on our own, but knowing that 40% of their starting line is hurt still might help us out.

j/k, but they definitely have some concerns

THe way things are going Tryfuhl, the Boys just might lose one or two of them also!!

Good to see Dallas's 'first team to ever host super bowl year' start on a high note

I think it's god awful karma to cheer injuries, especially considering what we've been through the past few seasons on the O-line.

That said, I'm not mad that their o-line won't be full strength week 1 in our house. Lord knows our line had to go shorthanded against DeMarcus Ware and Co plenty of times in recent years.

No doubt. And for those citing Alex Barron, he's extremely penalty prone, he may still be the highest penalized player in the game, I think that he was as of last year. Barron's ankle kept him out of the game last week after spraining it during the HOF game. He also got a dislocated pinky in practice.

No doubt, I just hope that now that we're getting more into hitting that our guys don't start going down.

Barron was disappointing in his debut during the HOF game and is a little dinged up too.

Holland has not shown us anything.

Kosier was out for the 2008 season and the offense really suffered during his absence. Especially the running game.

I said it in the other injury thread, I really believe that we will win this football game. Assuming that we stay fairly healthy through the preseason. We have been so close over the last few years to beating Dallas but have lost due to poor judgment by the coaching staff and the QB. This year is different there will be so much emotion surrounding the team on week one that I would honestly be kinda shocked if we lost that game.

Hey Tony, what's that sound? [IMG]http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss316/vendettachrncls2/gif/ambulance.gif[/IMG]

Re: Cowboys lose 2 offensive linemen in a week. Kyle Kosier to miss a month due to injury!
 

I too hate the cheering of injuries since karma can be a pain in the arse.....

but this will definitly bode well for us if we can stay healthy. Everyone or almost everyone picked Dallas to win the division so this will give us a small edge for the first game.

Didn't the Eagles suffer a couple injuries with linemen as well? It would be weird if we ended up taking the division..... 9-7 or 10-6?

I'm not cheering injuries, I'm cheering the demise of the Evil Empire.

Re: Cowboys lose 2 offensive linemen in a week. Kyle Kosier to miss a month due to injury!
 

Sounds like they are having a start to a year like we had the last 2 previous years.

Re: Cowboys lose 2 offensive linemen in a week. Kyle Kosier to miss a month due to injury!
 

I hope they are Ok and are healthy enough to return in week 2.

I dont know if it is god awful...but I do cheer piss poor mismanagement and the real karma is when you fail to address obvious weaknesses this is the appropriate result. Yes we know about our past issues with the line, but that was b/c of Vinny and Dans poor GM-ing. Jerrah had an opportunity to draft Olinemen this past draft. He chose the flashy move in Dez Bryant. His Oline on que is now hurting immensely in the second week of preseason. Karma is a bitch.

Re: Cowboys lose 2 offensive linemen in a week. Kyle Kosier to miss a month due to injury!
 

The Cowboys have done the same thing to their O-line that we have done to ours in the last couple of years, which is nothing. We had a great offensive line in 2005 and 2006, so we didn't worry about drafting anyone new. Then they all got old at the same time and started getting hurt. Our line then just got worse and worse from 2007-2009.

The Cowboys haven't used any high draft picks on o-lineman recently and they are all getting old at the same time. Their all starting to reach about age 32, which is how old all of ours were when they started to suck. Maybe their depth is a little better than ours was, but it is still not good. Offensive line is definitely going to be the weak point of that team this year, and as we've seen, that can destroy an entire offense.

Jerry is still heart broking over the chance to get Randy Moss back in the day and he passed on him. That's why he traded for Roy & drafted Dez he will not let character issues get in the way of his draft board anymore. Jerry in the draft room "F*#k the O-line give me the lying son-of-a b*@#h"

Re: Cowboys lose 2 offensive linemen in a week. Kyle Kosier to miss a month due to injury!
 

Preseason injuries can go to either extreme; maybe it's a blessing that the guy gets hurt & can heal while there are no games that count. On the other hand, it could lead to a nagging injury that affects them all year.

Even a season ending injury in the preseason has one upside; the team has more time to address options & work a new player into that spot.

All in all, I don't ever cheer injuries, I would always rather beat teams st. up.

I could care less about karma when it comes to the cowboys. Are u kidding me?

Re: Cowboys lose 2 offensive linemen in a week. Kyle Kosier to miss a month due to injury!
 

To me a W is a W. I will welcome a win against the Boys anyway we can get one. Kosier will be back for round#2, so they will get their line back soon after the first game of the season. WE have had a piss poor record against the Cowboys under Wade Phillips, losing even when we had roster parity or superiority over them. IF a dinged up line helps our cause, I am all for it. It is not like these injuries were career ending or really all the serious, it just means Kosier and co aren't going to be able to give us hell. Kosier still might be able to play if he is a fast healer.

You could? Then do it. ;)



Seriously, I don't believe in the hippie karma voodoo crap, but the Cowboys deserve pretty much every downfall they get. They've spent decades with drug users, sexual offenders and criminals...then ON the field, they've had dirty players like Horsecollar Williams and Flozell Adams. I have zero sympathy for them, any problem they encounter is long overdue.
