Andre Gurode was asked about Flozell Adams' replacement at left tackle, Doug Free, Gurode echoed the thoughts that just about everybody at Valley Ranch has had as well. "I think Doug will do just fine," Gurode said. "I've been around Doug his whole career and when he first came in he was a high-motor guy, real nervous, but you could see so much potential. To see him go on the field last year and do some of the things he did, it didn't shock me. Before he got on the field to play, the guys told him, 'It's going to be like this. Calm done, you've done this before. Relax and you'll be fine.' He went out there and did his thing. He just waited for his opportunity and he did the best with it when it came."
