Can I Please Get a Round of Applause for this Offensive Line?

[Pass2Run]

I mean, Cooper Rush was fantastic. But he doesn't do that without the offensive linemen who did the dirty work.

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

Yes. When Tyron gets back and inevitably gets hurt again, it will be even better.

We will need it when we face the Bird Flu team again.

I mean, Cooper Rush was fantastic. But he doesn't do that without the offensive linemen who did the dirty work.

The line has been a revelation this season. Tyler Smith looks every bit of an NFL starter at LT, McGovern/Peters have played as well as you could possible ask for, Biadasz has had himself a very nice season, Martin is his usual HOF self, and Terrance Steele has turned into an absolute road grader in the run game while also being a capable pass blocker.

Coming into the season I think many of us (myself included) thought the line was going to be a major problem. I would argue at this point they have played like a top-10 unit and have been the main driver of a resurgent rushing attack. A round of applause.

I gotta think that something is going to go Tyron Smith's way. He can never catch a break, so he's due.

He's had a nice career. It may just be that his body is saying it's time to quit.

I remember screaming for a new OL Coach. Maybe I was wrong.

I was a little worried about Steele, but he proved me dead wrong. But I figured Biadasz would come around, and I thought Tyler Smith would be at LG and Tyron would be at LT, and Tyron would be in and out, and we'd likely work Tyler in that way.

We haven't missed a beat . . .with Tyler, that is.

I figured we wouldn't, though, when we drafted him.

I'll tell you this much, though. If Tyler Smith were playing guard, and Tyron were playing LT, we could dominate in the run game with either back.

I ultimately think that's what we'll do anyway. Not many teams with more potential in the run game than ours regardless of the back, really.

Any back would like to be behind this line. Jerral and Stephen did fantastic work in the offseason and then topped if off with a cherry by adding Jason Peters.

I kind of think it was the defense that did the dirty work while the offensive line began to improve.

Difficult to clap for an average 21 points a game and 24th in the NFL for yardage.

However, the 6th lowest sack percentage is very encouraging.

But don't worry, this line will have a great opportunity to earn applause at the end of the season. Their last three games are against teams with some of the best defensive lines in the league

Now go away, Mr. Needy.

They got it together when Jason Peters came on.

Sometimes, you have to cut someone for them to want to keep their job. That's why you bring in a guy like Peters, so everyone knows they could lose their jobs.

And as a bonus, his experience is unmatched, which makes him valuable as a player-coach....

Philbin has been hit or miss. But I've liked what he's done recently alongside Peters, who I have no doubt is sort of a coach-player from a technique standpoint.

I'm just saying, Peters is valuable in more than one way. I have a feeling he'll get a gig here.

 

[gimmesix]

I remember screaming for a new OL Coach. Maybe I was wrong.

Yes. It appears that Philbin may have gotten some unwarranted hate here. Maybe it takes a little longer for linemen to grasp what he wants them to do or maybe the linemen just weren't good enough last year. Steele still hadn't been a full-time starter. Biadasz was in his first year as a full-time starter. Williams just wasn't very good. Tyron missed some time and seemed to play through some injuries. Collins' play slipped coming back from injury.

Sometimes we're asking more of coaches than they realistically can deliver. Time and better players can be necessary.

dont know how to post a visual hand-clap but clapping virtual---Go- O Line...Go-Cowboys

 

[GORICO]

Yes. When Tyron gets back and inevitably gets hurt again, it will be even better.

Tyler getting better every game at LT....not in bad shape....but get Tyron LT and Tyler the Mauler at LG...run it 30 times to the left

100% agree with Bleed....the lady who drew my blood fainted too....it was Silver and Blue

 

[GORICO]

Now go away, Mr. Needy.

mr Gimme--- maybe just a bitsy harsh?....but only a passing thought...not a declaration

 

[GORICO]

agree with Gimmesix

not a bad pick up the Fatty D-Liner who use to be NFL's # 1...2014-2017....saw film of him the few plays he was in against the bears....mauled both double teamed and blew up one on one made lots of tackles

for the few plays in game...keep him fresh when we know run time....so then the mauled us running the ends....our DC will fix that....its a scheme correction we dont need different players my lowly opinion

mr Plastic--- last 3 games we go 3-0...that means tons of Plats....we are going not for the Gold as in Olympics but going for Platinum as deep run playoffs.....unfortunate injuries other teams not us

and refs make bad calls other teams and ball bounces our way....that is how Cincinnati came out of nowhere to almost win SB and should have...and they had one of the worst O lines in NFL

 

[GORICO]

I mean, Cooper Rush was fantastic. But he doesn't do that without the offensive linemen who did the dirty work.

Rush did play past his potential....and he did it under a lot of pressure at times both in clock and 3rd and longs

 

[GORICO]

He's had a nice career. It may just be that his body is saying it's time to quit.

who was that guard "Mattews who played for the Browns or Bengals?....played til he was like 44...or around that....or Jason Peters who has not been hurt nearly as much as Tyron and is 10 years older?

maybe Tyron catches late in career health break....not impossible
