Did the Cowboys O-line improve or are they just facing poorer defenses?

I’m glad Dallas moved on from some OL and basically with three high pics over the last few yrs ( 2 # 1’s ) have rebuilt the line . Hitting on 2 UDFA and a late rounder in Asim Richards really helps .

OL is one area in next yrs draft I’m comfortable in saying the Cowboys need much more help elsewhere ,
I disagree, I think they need at least one, maybe 2 more...simply due to attrition.

Thomas never played a snap this year hopefully he replaces a Waletzco on the roster and maybe they get another high functioning UDFA to stick .

Guyton has got to take the next step in 25 become full time reliable NFL tackle to justify such a high pick

need any more cheese with your whine?
I'll keep up with my wife's menu and you can go to hell. No one on site is your intended whipping boy. Why don't you just fly somewhere, butt...use a foreign service now...

Talk some football or shove your own version of Loonie Tunes.

Watch the game and just shut the hell up. Sonnie.

I am curious what position group on this team is actually considered a strength.

OL is headed in the right direction TE has three targets MM can’t seem to find but one you have drafted receivers again MM can’t seem to utilize . To me other than a complimentary RB to pair with Dowdle my focus in the 25 draft and FA is any and all positions on DEFENSE .

New Orleans Baltimore Detroit Philly SF had games won when the Cowboy defense was helpless to stop them

With all injuries, only strong enough to meet crisis managements. The box area and passing area can meet demands.

After weeks of struggles, the Cowboys offensive line seems to finally be putting things together. The beaten and bruised, mismatched and mangled unit appears to be playing their best ball of the season and it’s no coincidence it’s resulted a fair degree of team success along the way.

Through weeks 1-11, the Dallas rushing attack ranked in 17th success rate (39 percent) and 25th in EPA/play (-0.136). In the four weeks that followed they have been fourth in success rate (46.3 percent) and 13th in EPA/play (-0.069). It marks a significant improvement and explains why the Cowboys have gone 3-1 behind a quarterback who ranks just 25th in EPA/dropback + CPOE composite score (measures impact and accuracy).

The question at hand is has the Cowboys offensive line finally worked things out with their run blocking or is this just a result of playing poorer competition?

How many times to I have to tell you that the ball is getting out quicker which means the OL doesn't have to hold their blocks near as long? I mean, this is as simple as it gets. What's up w/ making it more complicated than it is?

And you are the supporter for the Pope, right, Dudley Do Right?

That does not represent a game plan or execution. Keep the linebackers on their heels.

Guyton has to get NFL strong and focused for quickness. His butt further worked off.

That might be the poorest response ever given on these boards. Not to mention most nonsensical.

This exact same thing happened last time Rush took over. He gets rid of the ball quickly, derdeedee.

How do you not learn from history? This is simple stuff.

Nooooo, but keep on w/ your agenda drivel, it's more fun that way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TB was earmarked before the season started as a must win game. So was the upcoming Philadelphia. Now you tell me, with intelligence, why?
I always reply with intelligence, you do too, every human being does. Intelligence != having high IQ. But i didn’t expect you to know.

Now that being said; Replying to your question:

- New Orleans
- San Francisco
- Bengals
- Atlanta

Were too, and your team collapse. But, welp, keep drinking the same 30 year old kool aid and keep clapping like your beloved old head coach.

You are a completely lost cause.

QB play improved with faster release and smarter reads hence our big boys upfront look better.

Not at all, I was successful in football and taught in the Service on principals of leadership. I just don't sell out. You assume on your own moods instead.

Now, fully explain does Jerry grant amnesty for a high draft pick instead?

Now, on Eric Williams...

On September 25, 1990, Jerry Jones made another trade. The Cowboys received the New Orleans Saints’ first—and third-round picks in the 1991 NFL Draft and a second-rounder in 1992 in return for quarterback Steve Walsh.

In the third round, the Cowboys picked up tackle Erik Williams.

Eric was a 3rd rounder...and on a 'humble' start.
