Help me count here: An offensive line has a center, two guards, two tackles. Five, right?

Right? Five on the offensive line that make the offense move with mauling and mashing?

Perhaps we can't even count right.
Perhaps the story is bigger than you think.

What do I mean?
Let's look at some visuals of a few plays late Friday, shall we? (Right here)
See bigger numbers, and perhaps better gain a better understanding of Dallas surprising dominance.

Little hint:

The ball is snapped. It's a running play. This whole thread centers on the running game.

Tomorrow it will be revealed and there will be no mystery. You will say: "I knew it all along." But do you know it fully?

(Do I?)

WTH...another hint: how about the number NINE.
They're going to play a 9-man OLine with KaVante Turpin as the Wildcat QB...

Your thread was created at 3:36am Central Time (Between 1:36am PT and 4:36am ET).

I'm going to assume that you've been hitting the sauce or the crackpipe...

I've noticed we are getting away with using Green Bays old "hug" technique to a degree. (SHOCKING)
But if they're not going to call it, what the heck

Is our current OL built and suited more to " power oriented" types ? (ala Tyler, Tyron, Steele, Martin)

.. or more to " technician-position' types that Green Bay has been more styled to ?

Are you suggesting we will be running plays with 5 O-Line + 4 T/E = 9 potential blockers?
Or are you suggesting we will rotate O-linemen the whole game using 9 different players?
If neither of those, then I do not know what you are hinting at.

Many dont understand that the TE's can be equally as important. One of the big reasons the run game went off the rails for a year and a half when it was just Shultz and Jarwin.

Oh it's power for sure but that still doesn't mean you can't do a little holding on the side lol
