Which of the three would you say is our most glaring weakness?

There seems to be a general consensus amongst fans and the media, that the Interior Offensive Line, Free Safety, and Field Goal Kicker, are our most urgent concerns.

Many argue that those issues have gone unresolved. Some would say that enough has been done to shore up the weaknesses through the draft and free agency.

What's you opinion on this matter?

Cast your vote for what remains to be our most glaring weakness. And post a comment on why to think so. Try to elaborate as much as you can.

I started to vote for the interior OL since center depth is a concern. I do think someone from that group of backups will emerge as the backup center with Kosier being able to sub for Gurode immediate post injury. I don't expect him to be THE backup center though. Just emergently as I suspect they will dress Holland for the games as the backup guard. We'll see. They could dress both instead of just one.

I voted for FG kicker. I suspect superman will win the job but I'm skeptical of him being money there. Until the wheels came off, Folk was money. And I suspect he will be so again just not for us. I hope I'm very wrong here.

I had to go with OL.

I think of it as the most glaring weakness due to the impact it could potentially have to the success of our offense.

I know that FS is still suspect. But with the talent surrounding it on defense, it could very likely do better in 2010.

As for kicker, I just don't see it having the same negative impact as a banged up OL lacking depth down the stretch.

I have to go with FS.

Our Interior OL is probably the best in the league. I think Free will have no problem
filling in at LT

Our D is without a doubt amazing especially with wade coaching the D. He's like a Defensive mastermind. But we have been killed by deep balls and FS support with the zone coverage.

The real question is can the whole team come together to win it all. If every Dallas Cowboy shows up at their best in the playoff's...NO ONE can beat them.

We need OL more than anything. If someone complains about FS they obviously didn't see our OL get dominated against the Vikings. FS is fine and we have some guys who can make it work, but if one guy goes down on the OL we're in trouble.

I voted interior OLine because of two things. First because of their inability to protect Romo in the Minnesota game, and second because of the lack of success in converting in short run situations, i.e. 3rd and 1s and goalline situations.

I agree bro. It also goes back to 08 with the injury to Romo.

Hopefully with the youth movement we can get some physical endurance out of our younger talent. I'm hoping that Free can pass block better than Flo. He was having to compensate way too much for his age by taking that back-step at the snap of the ball.

The passing game has become much more crucial to the success of our offense. The talent along our OL needs to reflect that. These big giants need some cardio endurance, or they become ineffective protecting Romo when he is trying to locate an open receiver. Far too often we had to rely on the dink and dunk heroics of Romo to Witten.
