Video: HWB issues a warning signal that OL leakage is a major concern

[Dak_Attack_09]

I was overlooking the repeated signs of OL leakage with our own DL getting to backfield non stop and most of those amazing throws & catches would have been nullified with sacks in real game situation. This trend continued in Denver and it’s time to panic little bit.

If this shows up in the first pre-season game Philbin needs to be fired immediately and need to make decision on who are starters and who are backups on the OL ASAP.

Can’t let this weak pathetic mindset continue into the season.

This is because Dak can’t read defences and holds the ball too long or keeps throwing lateral passes

I thought it was the coaching, scheme, rain, sunlight, etc.

I'm amazed how many ppl weren't concerned after the draft...like who thought this OL was going to be any good then? They needed a total rebuild, but the FO act like Tyron is going to be healthy and out there for 17. No surprise, just pray for Dak at this point.

Duane Brown was out there and the FO stuck their heads in the sand, and continues to do so.

The O-line also forms this nice half circle which when your in shotgun formation you step up INTO that proetcted pocket to give you an exta second or so!! But it's been 7 years so...

we just need that all-star acorn in the lineup. He's my Rico Gathers of the offensive line.

You can make life easier on your offensive line by keeping the defense off balance with scheme/play selection. If they know what's coming, good luck.

But McGovern still being ahead (apparently) of Smith is not good. McGovern didn't look the part last season, so either he's improved (hopefully) or the kid isn't ready.

Whatever the case, Holley and Big Nate are not impressed by the line play, so far. I'm curious to see how they play tonight.

This was a bad offseason for the Cowboys, but if Tyler Smith is not the starting guard week 1 then this offseason will have been a disaster. Either he does not have the talent to play LG or he is not smart enough to learn the new position in 1 training camp. Either way, it is bad news for Dallas.

Now add to that a failure of Steele to make it to the next level of play. They cut La'el Collins getting nothing for him and put all their eggs in Steele's basket. If Steele is a failure it will be a really bad season for Dallas. And it looks like the Cowboys do not have a backup if Steele fails. Apparently Ball is pretty awful. With Tyron showing up injured already again, it is shocking the Cowboys did nothing at the OT position. Did they think they could move Tyler Smith out to LT?

Is Biadasz okay? or is he just better than LG and RT which are so bad we don't notice the weakness at C?

We have to ask, why didn't Dallas do anything to hedge their bets with the OL.

It is still early but not so early that we should not have concerns about the OL going against 3 of the best defensive lines in football when they face the NFC East teams.

Way too early to panic.

I know it’s early.. but I’m panicking a lil bit

exp after Denver seemingly man handled us in practice. I was buying into The whole mantra that they were going to get tougher.. but Denver made us look soft. I have PTSD from the Niners playoff game. And so far, our boys haven’t shown me anything to think something has changed

MM told the players not to be getting it scuffles and fights and such, and things like that. So it could have been the players did not go all out, as not to be sat down and not participate.
However, many fans on here need to tear everything down into a negative.

No need to panic.

Really, whatever problem derails this season they will figure they have fixed in next years draft, while another one develops that they ignore.

Same thing every year. Ahead of nothing. Just react to the problem of the year and boast about how close they are.

That's the difference between being qualified to do this, and absolutely NOT being qualified.

 

[Dak_Attack_09]

freaking deal with it Dak. No one has a perfect 1 thru 5 offensive line like our media and fans expect. the cowboys have three number one drafts picks on that line. What the F else do you expect them to do? They cant keep dumping resources into the oline and expect to field a good team. our QB needs to step up, get the ball out quicker and use his legs when needed. I am so sick of hearing what Dak needs. He need perfect oline, needs all pro WR's, a great running game and reliable TE. blah blah... so sick of it

Heck no If Chiefs can get rid of their two start tackles and bring in new ones so can Cowboys.

If Chiefs can get rid of their WR and draft another one in the 1st round so can Cowboys.

Would like us to sign a couple OL in free agency if their is anything left, being our front office was asleep at the wheel during free agency earlier.

You got any names that could be a good pickups?

Sorry no, I pretty much just follow the Cowboys and am unfamiliar with the rest of the NFL.
XWalker did a nice post on who's available a week or 2 ago.

 

[Brax]

Philbin should have been canned.

Friends and family that’s how it works in big D.

Whose guy is he? If they can get rid of premier players for can of Tuna they can definitely can this guy then!

He’s MMs buddy , he will be a fall guy like his bff Mike Nolan, MM always has a scapegoat available.

Your train of thought is highly questionable.
