Cowboys OL Coach Riley breaks down how he teaches O-line

[America's Cowboy]

Cowboys Offensive Line is going to be so much better with new O-line Coach Riley coaching them up. Get ready to see a drastically improved O-line and execution, Cowboys Nation.

This is a big upgrade over last year. There isn't any question the run game will have a significantly better run scheme after recent disasters. Thank goodness.

Agreed. i felt Solaris did nothing for that line.

Can't wait to see the changes, I think for if anyone this is a BOOST for Tyler Guyton!

 

[shabazz]

All that's left to see is if his style and methods translates to the NFL. His pedigree from college speaks for itself.

I think we expect too much from coaching. Either players have it or they don't. Changing coaches is not going to make miracle happen.

Solari only had a job cause he was buddy’s with MM. Just like Mike Nolan before him.

Yes, year 2 for Tyler, and with a much improved coaching and blocking scheme.

Troy Aikman will tell you otherwise. Norv Turner made a huge difference over David Shula for that offense.

Typically that is true. But not in this case. The recent coaching was that bad.

….then Coach Jerry will let him know who the starting five will be based on salary and draft status.

2020:
Mike Nolan on Line 1.
Dan Quinn on line 2.

Despite that, there were some young players who seemed to have some success under him. Tyler Smith became an All-Pro. Cooper Beebe successfully converted to center. Brock Hoffman definitely showed some development as did TJ Bass.

The veterans (Steele and Martin) seemed to decline under his watch, but I don't know how much of that was due to their physical decline. Of course, we also don't know how much of the younger players' development was due to them and their abilities and not Solari. Would they have developed more or better under a better coach?

That being said, I didn't feel like the blocking scheme was a strength and look forward to what Riley will bring to the table. I just think we acknowledge Solari's failures but don't give him credit for the fact that we seem to have some quality depth and players that he helped develop.

No, but a line coach can take players that have it and put them in a better position to succeed. Most players have strengths and weaknesses and obviously, you want to be able to play to their strengths as much as possible.

Are you kidding? The best golfers in the world all have swing coaches, putting coaches, and sports psychologists. In football, it’s no different. A coach who sees what players do well and why they lose blocks and can coach the fundamentals and get into the heads of players to coach them the way they need it can make a huge difference. Coaching a scheme that best fits your personnel makes a big difference too. The OC may have the run plays he wants to run, but if he has a good OL coach, he doesn’t tell the coach how it’s blocked; the OL coach will teach the man and combo blocks based on the strengths of each player.

I expect the coaching staff to be top notch. Their salaries don’t count towards the salary cap so owners should strive for the best and the fans should expect nothing less. Coaching can make a HUGE difference in how a team performs don’t think it doesn’t for a second.

Glad to see you give them a chance before crapping on them. Kudo’s.

I'll bet on the 17 new coaches that are young and energetic along with the boat load of new players and good ones returning. I wouldn't call it a miracle that they will be improved and exciting for those that like the Cowboys and football.

and of course you drool over a guy who has never done it in the pros
