There might only be 3 or 4 good O-lines in NFL

Redskins and Seahawks lines will be determined pretty soon here.

I think both are just OK, but at the same time pretty good.

Assuming there is of those open guys to throw to

I think there are at least 15 or more good olines. Great ones? Not too many.
Good would be nice though.

There are more than 3 or 4 good offensive lines in the NFL. In reality there are 10 to 15 good offensive lines in the NFL.

As far as Houston, they ran right tackle 15% of the time and right end 11% of the time which was roughly on the NFL average of 14% and 9% respectively. In general, teams just run to the left and mid more often.

That's a little surprising to me too. Livings seems to get beat cleanly by quickness a couple of times a game but otherwise has looked okay. Bern just doesn't look strong enough to hold up against strong rushes right in his grill. IF I could pick one to upgrade, I'd still look to replace Bern.

And when the defense does this over 60% of the time, it is up to the OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR / PLAY CALLER to adjust the play calling to slow them down.

OP has a history of not wanting to put any resources into O line. Just trying to justify it

So true. Brady stands there and waits for an open lane to throw into.

Very rarely is he flushed out of his comfort zone

The problem with the Cowboys is that we have 4 guys who probably don't start on any other team in the league.

We need to draft more CBs, RBs and WRs.

A bad ol and a bad OC is killer combination

We have been unlucky enough to experience this for a few years now

New England uses a quick passing game. Blitz them and you'll pay.

Dallas runs long routes regardless and ever since Garrett has been here not all the receivers know how to adjust to the blitz,

We're a poorly coached team and have been for awhile.

I agree. With Dez and Demarco would be deadly in a west coast offense. A good coach adapts his system to his personnel.

What makes you say we 'run long routes regardless'? And what's that supposed to mean, exactly?

And what makes you say our receivers don't know how to adjust to the blitz? How, exactly, is it you think the team moves the ball at all?
