Note: Pat Kirwin, a columnist on NFL.com, said that if he could give a Christmas gift to a team, one of them would be a pair of veteran offensive linemen, because the Cowboys have given up 16 sacks as they went 1-3 in their last four games.
Don't these people get it yet? The problem isn't the line. The problem is the guy holding onto the ball for 5 seconds behind the line. Thirteen years in the league, and he still hasn't learned. Rock head. As Blake said in Glengarry Glen Ross, "... fire [his] #$%*!#& ass, because a loser is a loser."
