Cowboys run blocking -- statistically not good?

Silver N Blue posted this (pulled from NextGenStats). on the 10/11 tweet thread.

Anybody else find that the Cowboys rank 32nd in the league in this stat shocking?

Any thoughts if this metric is statistically relevant or not?

Two new starters and no receiving threats that scare the defense over the top. You're getting 9 defenders within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage, regularly.

But it's easier to pretend nothing has changed, call Zeke "fat", and get on with life.

Cooper needs to be the starter at guard.
He is rounding into form.
The o line will be way down on the lists of issues with this squad by seasons end.
Green Bay had no answer for our run blocking in that last drive. The 8 minute drive that should have been 9.

Come'on... Yeah two new starters... One guy that should have been a 1st round draft pick and the other spot shared by a former high 1st rounder and a 3rd rounder... With 3 probowlers on the Oline it should be performing far better than what it has. To be worse than the Jets & Colts is stunning.

I don't find it shocking after seeing them play. The oline has been horrible, and not just in run blocking.
