It Is Dallas Week, Isn't It?

And lest we forget, when he practices, he has lined up against a guys named Ware, Ellis, and Spencer.

Still, game time could be different, but I think he will be fine.

I am concerned about Ken Hamlin going out for 4 weeks, I have never been a fan of Pat Watkins, and the only other guy they have back there is a rookie, Mike Hamlin (no relation) who has been hurt since the preseason and is activated for the first time this season. He shows tremendous promise, but, is a rookie with ZERO playing credability at the pro level.

I agree. I think one reason why the Cowboys are 6-3 is because the offensive line has stayed relatively healthy. Now, if Leonard Davis or especially Flozell went down in addition to Columbo, the Cowboys would be in some serious trouble.
