Cowboys Oline rated 16th - in pass blocking

[1nfljunky]

Don't waste your time. 1nfljunky is just a troll Eagles fan.

I think the season will bear out whether I’m trolling or not. On a side note; if I’m such a waste of time why exactly do you reply to my post, lol. Just curious...

In fairness, they gave up 8 sacks in that game because of one OL, not the entire OL.

What that says is that the Eagles simply had a better backup LT than we did.

What's your point? Tyron has been injured on and off for a few years now. Chaz Green was drafted in the 3rd round and had been on the team for a couple of years. Either way, it was a huge failure of the organization.

I like the entertainment value trolls like you provide.

And what happens this season won't change the fact that you are largely just an Eagles troll.

The point being blaming the entire OL for those sacks is wrong. It was one guy (and a coaching staff) who caused that.

I suspect they are far better equipped to handle a situation like that this year with Fleming.

The season will prove whether I was trolling or know more than you think I do on both teams. This season should be fun...

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?

is this where we name players like romo and brady who people passed on quite a bit?

Nah. Fans of other teams that come to rivals' boards to discredit things fans are saying are pretty much trolls. So if you happen to get a few things right in future seasons, it won't make you less of a troll.

The season is coming. I will stand by everything that I have posted.

My! Must we be mediocre in every way?

 

[NotForLong]

Wow so much money wastes. Guess we need a Dak friendly O-line. It's amazing how many elite talents look so bad around him.

Hope ESPN and the rest of the Mediots don't get wiff of this. They'll have all the Parrots around here calling for Martin. Fredrick and Smith to get fired

You really didn't answer the question.

Were the Cowboys the 8th best defense in football? Not the 8th best in giving up yards. Were they 8th best defense, overall, in the NFL?

What was their overall rank? Please show your work

 

[GMO415]

They'd better be #1 in run blocking with all the money JJ's paying

 

[Idgit]

I hate how PFF has become the standard for this stuff.

 

[Teague31]

Makes sense to me.

1st with Tyron
32nd with Chaz
Split the difference and you get 16

So what exactly have you posted/predicted? Let's nail this down so there is no room for waffling down the road.

I don't have a "rank".

Largely because there are quite a few stats that I think paint a better picture of where this defense falls. Range would be more appropriate, than a specific rank. And based on the stats I look at like - points per game, points per possession, opposing QB rating, turnovers, yards rushing per attempt, DVOA ranking, etc............. the Cowboys were a pretty average to maybe slightly below average defense.

They most certainly were not a Top 10 defense IMO.

 

[Captain-Crash]

My prediction, um say one guy goes down. Let's say Fred, and Dak get's pressure up the middle. The season will be over. "everybody was hurt"......

 

[DandyTom64]

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 would cry to ,if it happened to you. Don't remember what lady sang that but it was popular when I was young.

 

[Sydla]

What was their overall rank? Please show your work

Here's my work:

Points Per Game - 13th
Points Per Drive - 17th
DVOA - 25th
Opposing QB Rating - 26th
Rush Yards Per Attempt - 16th
Sacks - 15th
Interceptions - 24th
Fumbles - 15th

But yes, we were 8th in total yards, ergo, we have a Top 10 defense? LOL.

Not really.

Not in my book they haven’t. I think posts about PFF stuff are great for conversation-starters, but that’s about it. By no means do I take their rankings as gospel. There are just too many stats they have that are far too subjective to take seriously.
