NFL | C. Poston sues NFLPA
Thu, 23 Mar 2006 16:13:17 -0800
The Associated Press reports agent Carl Poston has sued the NFLPA and is challenging the two-year suspension he was given for the handling of free agent LB LaVar Arrington's (Redskins) contract extension in 2003 with the Washington Redskins. The lawsuit was filed Monday, March 20, in U.S. District Court in Manhattan. The lawsuit claims the disciplinary action was not handled as mandated by the union's rules and was filed beyond the one-year limit set by those rules. Poston argues that either he or his lawyer should have been allowed to appear before the disciplinary committee to contest the accusations and an independent arbitrator should have handled the dispute.



figured these were very redksin related. LA won't be back in dallas for sure now.

49ers | L. Allen contract update
Thu, 23 Mar 2006 16:52:29 -0800

Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports free agent OG Larry Allen (Cowboys) signed a two-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers believed to be worth between $4 million and $5 million per year. The deal is contingent upon Allen passing a physical and then signing the contract.

at least he's getting paid... or that's what i would have said, if i cared.

The Girls just lost their best lineman, that is awesome. All of these idiots who have praised the Cowboys offseason must have forgotten what happens to teams with poor offensive lines.

[That Guy]

they did sign fabini from the jets (OT) and kyle kosier (OT) from the lions.

[Pocket$ $traight]

Who cares. Significant turnover on the o-line is a bad thing and the last time I checked both of those teams were/are terrible.

[That Guy]

well, it kinda kills the "boys are ignoring their line" thing, but just cause a team is terrible, that doesn't automatically mean all their players are crap.

[STPainmaker]

I agree with That Guy the cowboys are improving at least on paper. They probably want to go in a different direction. You are right about line turnover though. Sometimes things just don't gel and there is no chemistry. I think we have experienced this in the not so recent past.

So you are saying there line is better now, or do you just like to disagree with everything I say? The last thing the Cowboys needed was to shuffle up their O-line with a couple of average players. Smarten' up.

Fabini is pretty darn good. Kosier has never been much, but I would venture to say their O-Line is improved because Rob Petitti isn't starting anymore...that guy was terrible.

They have never played together so I don't think that is a safe assumption. Also, I don't think it is a guarantee that Petitti won't be starting for them. You think some clown off of the Lions is going to be a guaranteed starter?

What am I missing here?

Stupid move by the 49ers. IMO their about 2 years away from being a contender. They would be better off drafting another Justin Smiley then paying top dollar for an old guard, even though he might still be among the top 10 guards in the league.

you know both the cowboys OTs were terrible last (one gave up 4 sacks in one game), so these are big upgrades. I don't know why you think just cause he's from the lions he has to be terrible. they might not have great chemistry out of the gate, but they're young and its a much better situation long term. If you don't want me to reply, don't say things that aren't true about players you don't know. smarten up.

you should take your own advice. apparently you missed a lot of dallas games. their tackles were terrible and with bledsoe they need to do something. you don't have 49 sacks a year cause your OL is great and needs to be kept together at all costs. I don't know why you'd think otherwise.

great posts The Guy I'm just quoting the last 1 but right on the money in most of them. The cowboys had bad Tackles last year because Adams got hurth and missed most of the year remmember game 1 against you guys you had 0 sacks but the second time around it was a fest Petitti and Tucker Sucked and they allways needed help from the TE especially against fast DE.

Allen has been playing worse every year he still can play good at the line but he stoped going after he players outside the line and doesn't go 100% on every play and that hurth in the run and in the past.

he's an All-Pro and will be a sure hall of famer he just past his prime, also I do agree that SF overpay mostly because they're rebuilding if let say Seattle had pay that that would be good because they are a SB contender.

and yes on Paper I agree that Dallas is taking care of the O-line problems lets see how it pays out. We really need for River to get back 2 100% because last year he played bad.

he isnt a top 10 guard,the niners big time over paid.as far as dallas,they might have upgraded their line roster wise,but we all know it takes time to create chemistry and for them to gel
