Why no help for Steele at the end?

[StarOfGlory]

The Eagles got three sacks in the last three minutes. It was clear that Steele was getting rag dolled by Philly's D line. When the game came down to the end, why didn't the coaching staff give Steele any help? I'm just at the point where I think even if Dak is 100% perfect, the coaches will somehow screw it up against a good team at the end. The Eagles were tossing their scrubs in to cover short term injuries to their CB's and we still can't take advantage of the situation. And no, I'm not defending Dak here--he made mistakes but balled out for the most part. But a great coach could have mitigated those, and we could have won this game.

Ya know, Aaron Rodgers may have been right all along.

Chaz Greene playbook. Question for the OL coach.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

Bc you have to get receivers into the play to stress the coverage.

At some point, your OL needs to win to have a chance.

 

[Aven8]

Schoonmaker needs to block and that’s about it. He can stay and help from now on.

Not impressed with this O-Line coach. But Steele had a bad game. He was maybe rushed back from injury to quickly..

Because we will do it next game wasn't in our game plan to make adjustments

I just dont understand how Steele doesn't get help there at the end. He was abused, especially those last 5-6 minutes. You went 5 wide there, no backs so that's screaming quick throw there by Dak. It should shock no one that Steele got beat for the game ending sack (for all intents and purposes). Why not even just chip the DE on Steele's side?

Questionable decision by coaching staff, awful play by Steele and yeah, Dak probably needs to sense what's going on better and fire that ball somewhere quickly to not take a sakc.

You can have a TE or RB chip him to make sure he does not beat Steele on an outside rush. The TE can still get out on a pass route. Teams do this all the time to Parsons.

The defense isn't going to defend the TE 5 yards down the field in that situation, he's not going to pull a defender. They'll give you that completion and let the clock run.

Steele had a horrible game. I don’t know if oline struggles are the OL coach or just the players. But Steele was so bad it can’t be all coaching

While many fans are going through their weekly ritual of placing the blame 100% squarely on the shoulders of Dak here's an interesting observation to consider: If the Cowboys could have swapped one player with the Eagles last night - and that player was right tackle Lane Johnson - who do you think wins this game?

 

[Doomsday]

It is annoying because there were other key plays on the last 2 drives where Pollard chipped Reddick before releasing.

Not sure why you have to go empty in that situation or at least line a TE up next to Steele to change Reddick's angle of attack.

When you know your O-line isn't winning to help them to have a chance.

We win hands down.

You're supposed to chip for both OTs every play?

You can't assume they're both going to lose.

 

[Portnoy1]

He was paid $$$ to lock down that side, he shouldn’t need help. That’s the whole point of paying big money to your Olineman. He’s supposed to be able to handle himself. Chaz Green didn’t get a second contract for a reason. Steele is not in that category. If we’re requesting he get help then a more serious conversation needs to be had about his performance overall.

It's the height of silliness to expect your RT, who has been beaten like a rented mule, especially in the last 5 minutes when he gave up two sacks already, to suddenly make a play in that spot.

That's just a mistake on the part of the coaching staff right there.

Said the same in another thread, why no chip blocks or TE staying in to help. This coaching staff is just like my heels coaching staff, NO in game adjustments whatsoever from either coaching staff.

Yup, it’s usually a 7 day transition around here.

I mean sure, in hindsight. Steele was fine on the rest of the drive though. You can't chip on every single play.
