Cowboys Oline rated 16th - in pass blocking

[Techsass]

Chaz Green dropped the Cowboys ten spots during the ATL game.

And I remember actually sticking up for him once last season. That was well before Atlanta, but man was I wrong.

8th ranked defense in the NFL last season all of the NFL and they improved the personnel for this season

Marinelli has performed miracles with the talent he's been given to work with no doubt.....lot of question marks if they are in a position to stop playoff caliber QB.....till i see it i won't believe it sorry.....

So 300 million in contracts only buys you top 10 or top 5 rating(Leaving our defense cap starved) hmmm then we wonder why we haven't raised SB # 6 .........The Dallas Wall the most expensive Myth out there.....as off-lines don't win Superbowl's!

Wow, you really believe oline does not matter and/or is not a major factor?
Well atleast 3 if it Superbowl victories was due to having a great line. And you may want to talk to Aikman, who was not very good at running around out the pocket, also emitt Smith. You also might want to talk to Bernie Kosar a well. Romo can join the conversation as well.
The only guy I know that probably got his yards on his own is maybe Barry Sanders

You don't get it .....in a Cap age when you invest over 300 million in a offline its gonna cost you talent elsewhere. Hence the dilemma of having one not winning you a Superbowl.....

Interesting how many fans spent the offseason blaming WRs, Zeke and Dak for 2017 offensive problems giving the OL free pass. Said many times the root of this team offensive problem last year started and ended with OL. This group DID NOT play to expectation. Hard to believe the loss of Leary had such negative impact but when you think about, his replacement was below average FA ( Cooper) who would have had a hard time making most teams 53. Bottom line, we have a ton invested in OL. The floor of their standards should be top 5. Anything less is underachieving IMO.

If Williams was such a stud why did he fall until the second round? That means most teams had two shots at him. What did they see?

LOL.

Eagles fans think Goeddert is the next great TE. But how is that possible using the logic expressed here by the Eagles fan? If Dallas G was so studly why did he last until the 2nd round?

 

[atlantacowboy]

We all know last season wasn't pretty. I'd hate to be the QB on one of the 16 teams ranked after us.

Yeah, it would suck to be Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady. Shows how important this stat is. Heck, the Bills should have had a top passing offense right?

Good point. It's not at all unusual to find great players in the 2nd round....at any position (with the possible exception of QB).

In 2017 the line was very mediocre - without Smith. Before Smith went down they were just as nasty as 2016 and we were scoring points.

Well that is a problem being the cap as I don't like the cap myself, but we have to invest some in the oline. We have many other problems holding this team back other than the oline like coaching and gm

 

[G2]

Looks small for the NFL.....and he cries to easy lol.....another piece of value for our Offline who have no excuse to get beat up by any defense...........

You should be off line.

From what I understand, he got off to a rough start at left tackle last year after playing fantastic the year before, then he got injured. When he returned, he looked a lot like he did in 2016, but there weren't enough games left to erase all the doubts. There also were questions about whether he could play left tackle in college or was better suited skillwise and sizewise for guard.

Don't know many posters here giving the OL a free pass in terms of pass protection.

Go arrest someone will you bud.....lol...

Heck I remember seeing Rodgers beat us on one leg. He doesn't need an Oline.

Other teams are under the impression that a defense and receiving corps are important also.

Only we need 4 no 1 picks and 1 no 2 picks on the offline as we are unable to coach a 3rd rounder to block i guess......how other teams do it ....simply amazing right Jerry>
Heck with the money we signed Martin for we could have picked up last season Calais Campbell instead of him going to the Jags but hey who needs a defense right?
Love the Dallas Wall but ....Glory can be found only from DOOMSDAY!!!!

Ever notice you are the only one LOL'n on your posts? Well done.

Just dismiss him. He’s nothing but a troll.

Do you realize we have an undrafted FA as the RT? He may have been a projected No. 1, but we didn't spend that draft capital on him.
