The Lions changed up their defense some and changed some tactics during their bye week. They were doing things that Dallas hadn’t seen on film yet.

That and Hutchinson is a good player made the OL look not so great. They figured it out after halftime and looked better though.

Nothing to really worry about though. The OL is getting better every week and they’re already playing pretty decent.

‘People should pay attention to what they’re seeing during the game rather than some ratings on the internet. You can see that they’re not bad. They’re not great either… but they’re improving rather quickly.
Detroit is professional football team coming off a bye. They have plenty of film on our line and attacked us. We adjusted and dominated the Lions in the second half.

Idk y you small brains cant figure out the difference between the 2 stats. If the sack count is low but block win rate is bad its because the qbs are getting the ball out very quickly.

Exactly.

You can still scheme to get the ball out quick to protect your QB which is what we've been doing a lot of this year.

Ya unfortunately Dak's mind isn't very fast on the field.
You need and have a high school PB so Dak doesn't get confused.
Hook pass, Screen, short post, and his favorite the Check-down.

That’s not looking at the sack count. It’s looking at the sack percentage. Reading comprehension is necessary for big brain activity.

You're looking at sacks only. Pass block win rate references sustaining blocks for a set time period - a loss could lead to a hurry, hit, pressure or sack (not sack only).

A win rate is reflective of a particular player, not the line play as a whole.

Yea, if he wasn’t so dumb and couldn’t see the defense maybe last year he’d have been top 3 in a bunch of relevant QB stats instead of only top 10. Hopefully he gets smarter.

Incorrect. There is individual win rate and team win rate.

You said “sustaining blocks over a period of time.” At its most granular level, that’s a player stat. Sack percentage on drop backs is a collective state.

Visit the link…it literally lists the teams in order. It’s collective and evaluated for the whole team.

Yes, but you have to assess individual players to get there. You don’t have to assess individual players to see when the quarterback gets sacked. Point being, the extreme difference between these two sets of data raises questions. I’m not saying one is definitive and the other isn’t. I’m saying there’s a discrepancy that needs to be explored.

We've given up 11 sacks in the season. 7 to Rush and 4 to Dak. Dak holds on to the ball too long.
yup, indecisive... makes oline look bad. That was the worst defense in the league. How many times did Romo comment about the huge holes in the defense?

is the line the worst at pass blocking? no....

are they elite? no

they are about as average as you can be....And couple that with the fact that both Rush and Dak both have an issue with holding the ball a little too long for my liking
