Three weeks in a row they have done great. Davis was ahuge upgrade.

they're not perfect but no OL is - by and large they're playing very well.

what was a weakness is now doing well and i think a much more mobile qb is helping us all.

If they give Romo the time he will pick apart any defense.

Marc Colombo played another really good game. We will have to lock him up soon.

Our O-Line looked great tonight. Especially against a very tough Bears-D. Give them the props they deserve.

No doubt.I really like this guy.He locks in on guys and tosses them
around like rag dolls.This kid is quietly making a name for himself.

The Oline is strong and athletic.

Only if Flo will get the penalties under control?

The interior unit is suffocating teams...Columbo and Flo (outside of the penalties) have been very good....what else can you ask for?? This is the closest we have come to duplicating the line of the early nineties!!

there were alot of plays that romo was getting pressure and I kept saying one of these times they are going to gt romo and force a fumble.. well they didn't but htey got that sac on him.. Romo cleaned up alot of oline mistakes.. but oline did seem to dominate.

I thought we signed Columbo to a 2 or 3 year deal in the offseason? Glad we did: he graded out highest tonight IMO.

Looks to me like the line is over powering defenses and the Defenses are wearing down in the second half.

THe bears did put some pressure on Romo but they also blitzed a hell of alot too. The oline held their own.

I love their pass blocking.

I wish they would run block better and get into the second level better, but I am still hoping that will improve, too.

I thought they actually played poorly at times. They were blitzing the ever-living daylight out of us, but we never seemed to be able to pick it up. I'd have to look more closely, but if not for Tony Romo's athleticism, we would have had a ton of sacks.

Considering the defense we played, I expected that to a point. There were a couple of poor pickups on EXCELLENT scheme blitzes, but Romo bailed them on those. But that would happen against any team, so the fact that we rose above was fine.



I still say our run blocking is kind of weak sauce, and I don't know how much I trust sparano as a competent OL coach, but I'm willing to wait and see.

That's probably a fair assessment. I'm just going by memory. You have to give the Bears defense credit. They were really good. Better than I expected. Romo is just god-like.
