Twitter: Broaddus makes a good point why Mike brought in his own OL coach

I mean its going to depend on the coach. The offensive line was better last season but were they the best in the league? I don't feel they were. And the run blocking left a lot to be desired.

I'm not necessarily against any approach like I said above I'm not even sure what a OL coach does especially for a unit as talented as this. But I do know man they sucked at the screen pass. Seems like blocking in special teams sucked, screen passes, from the skilled positions.......seems like their blocking as a whole wasn't very good.

The Packers have a special way of blocking where they hold but don't get called. I've mentioned it here with links to few articles written about this technique.

Well if that gets tried in dallas you can bet the rule changes are coming...

We had the number 1 offense in the NFL.

..........and scored only 3 FG’s in the Most important game of the season against the Eagles. 10 against the Saints, and 9 against the Patriots.......no need for improvement against real defenses?

Very common for an offensive minded coach to bring in his own OL coach. Most important position coach on any team. Imo

Dallas OL is elite.

didn’t need “fixed.”

Just make sure our O-Line can block man and zone still. We are a kind of a big deal. Don’t mess stuff up...

Id say we might be messed up and we might not be....

with Colombo we were not messed up.

MM doesn’t know Columbo so he fella more comfortable with someone he knows
I don’t see that as a swipe at him

agree.

anyone who disrespects Colombo doesn’t know anything about him.

he’s an excellent coach who has done an outstanding job.

the OL is elite and the best in the NFL.

I didn't take it as a attack on Colombo. I think we saw what happened when you got a OL coach in here who wasn't the right fit. It will destroy a whole offense. Colombo....I will be honest I don't know how much of a impact he had on a unit hat was good before he got here and I'm not even sure how to even grade offensive linemen. But I will say Fredericks had a very good bounce back year and La'El Collins had the best year of his career. We did not see the development of Connor Williams like we hoped but I'm not sure if that's on coaches or on him at this point.

I like Colombo and I think this team did too.....but I'm hoping this is McCarthy's staff and not Jerry's. Seems to be he's getting his guys. He's not trying to emulate past Super Bowl teams like the Buccaneers. Seems like he has a plan in motion.

he is destroying the offense so he can hire his old buddies.

meanwhile, coaches who helped build the number 1 offense in the NFL are being replaced by retread coaches.

Stop thinking this offense was really #1. It was inflated by yards vs inferior teams at the beginning of the year.

The offense failed badly at NO, at NE, vs Buffalo, at Chicago and at Philadelphia. Truly elite offenses don’t put up 5 awful performances especially with one for the division against a bunch of backups.

How familiar is Colombo with the WCO? Guessing not very, so do you want your OL coach learning a new system while he teaches it?

Did you notice they struggled to run screens..

Blocking for screens is is a big part of it and the Cowboys were not good at that...

Otherwise blocking is more about man or zone than specific to WCO or other offensive schemes.

The Cowboys run blocking was "schematically" terrible in 2019.

Columbo good at teaching individual technique and tough guy mentality but terrible from a schematic perspective.

The exact same run play can be radically different if just 2 player's assignments are switched (example...OB/LB & LG/DL vs OC/DL & LG/LB).

Depending on specifics, the blocking angles can be in favor of the OL or in favor of the DL.

A good run blocking scheme has more snaps where the OL has the blocking angle advantage than not...

I'm just glad they are letting the guy who's cooking dinner buy the groceries.

I think Colombo was the best coach on Garrett’s staff in 2019.

Having said that, Mike has the right to pick his staff and I have no problem moving on from Colombo. it’s actually a good thing cause you know Jerry wanted to keep Colombo.

No. Alexander basically spent his whole NFL career with the Bengals. Philbin has been coaching offensive line since the 80s.

I meant more in the way of if-it-ain’t-broke-dont-fix-it kind of way.

Well technically they were not the number one offense and Kellen Moore is coming back. I’m not sure how much Colombo had to do with that. We can’t say we want our head coach to have more control and get mad when he uses it lol.

That comment doesn't make Colombo look very good at all.

Na i think its just saying that McCarthy just felt more comfortable with somebody hes familiar with. Somebody that already knows the offense.

McCarthy uses a gap blocking scheme.

Gap Blocking Scheme

The other type of blocking scheme is a gap blocking schemes. A gap scheme uses leverage to give the offensive linemen an advantage over physically superior defensive linemen. In a gap scheme the offensive linemen on the playside will block down, or away from the gap where the runner is going. This will leave one defender unaccounted for outside of the gap where the ball is going. The offense will pull a lineman from the backside of the play to block this defender out. The result is a hole that develops between the pulling offensive lineman and the down blocks that should combine to form a wall.

Philbin is a major grab, especially as an o-line coach. 1 of the best there is.

McCarthy is assembling a top tier coaching staff in all aspects right now. Folks, make no mistake about this.

I want to see who comes in as WR coach and as RB coach. Maybe they can get Zeke back to 2016 form.

I'm struggling with this one a bit. I understand the need to be comfortable with the O-line coach and I'm absolutely in step with the line of thought that the O-line was a shell of it's former self this past season.

I think Colombo needed to go for that reason but Marc was an *** kicker and Philbin seems to be more of a technician (from coaching standpoints). The last "technician" we brought in here (Alexander) completely screwed this group up. As bad as this line underachieved with Colombo, they were WAY worse under Alexander.

This line is a bunch of *** kickers themselves. I don't think an *** kicking coach is going to affect them much, mentally. Teaching them technique, especially those who are nursing perennial injuries, is possibly the better way to go.
