ESPN: Dallas Offensive Line is League MVP

[Toruk_Makto]

It doesn't change your failed point at all.
5 guys on a line and suddenly a rookie tackle is the difference between Demarco Murray production and Sankey.

I never said that.

The point was the Titans have a great collection of talent on the offensive line. They then went out and signed a RB. Suddenly they can run on almost anyone and they didn't need to blow a 1st rounder on a RB to do it.

Sure, folks, a great offensive line is of utmost importance to any RB, and the cowboys line certainly qualifies at being right there at the top. I followed Zeke in college and they had a great O-line also (called the slobs), but man, he was a man among boys there also, going forward, always forward, on every carry for extra yardage. That's what a great back does...not only always having the ability to take it to the house on every carry, but to grind out the 2-3-4 yard gains consistenty. As good *** the Dallas )-line is, EE has 923 yards after contact....923 YARDS. THINK ABOUT THAT...IT'S INCREDIBLE, AMAZING. We have something really special here. And the guy is so durable and injury free. Did you know that he played the entire 2014 season with a broken left wrist (or right, I'm not sure) in leading his team to the championship. Just amazing. I also feel that the more you feed this guy, the better he gets. You can't wear him out. He demonstrated that in college, and in my opinion the cowboys could use him a little more. It wouldn't hurt him. Anyway, by far the best pick of the draft. As for you Jalen Ramsey lovers here are his stats for the year -- 47 tackles and 1 interception (last week)....Good player but hardly an instant impact player like we got.

What exactly would you point to in evaluating Morris' play?

Because all these experts seem to feel that anyone could run behind this oline. They can't admit that just maybe Zeke is that good....

Actually I just realized I misred your post. The fact that Morris isn't playing much, doesn't do much when he's in, and seems to have lost his role to McFadden tells me enough.....

Who had said Zeke isn't good? Can you point these people out?

I don't understand your question. I never said anyone said Zeke isn't good. I said all these people are insinuating Zeke is as good as he is MOSTLY because of the oline. They don't give him enough credit. If it were that simple, Morris would be tearing it up too. What point are you trying to make?

It's funny because a lot of people said he was the best player in the last draft before we ever drafted Zeke.

We also saw him put Ohio State on his back and run through Alabama and Oregon to a National Title.


This is just Zeke's pedigree and for people to try and diminish it because of the offensive line is ridiculous.

Our OL didn't provide a spark through the organization last year did they?

Zeke is the reason things changed this year. Defenses are terrified of that guy and it has opened everything else up.

I agree, it's the same bs argument that haters tried to use against Emmitt. It appears that bspn is paving the way for a Cowboy screw job.

Same OL we had last season that some claimed didn't have a very good year because we didn't have a stud RB or a solid QB behind it. Regardless the OL, the QB and the RB matters which is why our OL looks better this season. You can't just stick any QB or RB behind this OL and expect to be 12-2. If we were stuck with Matt Cassel, Brandon Weeden or some other average QB along with McFadden and some of the other backs we used last season we would be in the same boat as last year at this time, playing for next year.
