How did the OL improve?

i thought except for 2 La’El penalties and 1 Williams bull rush the pocket was clean most of the time. This was Daks worst game of seeing ghosts that weren’t there.

They were opening holes well and then in the 2nd half after Linehan had run all his misdirection they waited for 5 on the play clock and ran straight ahead into run blitzes.
 
Dak was sacked and pressured most of the second half. Smith was better. Martin always good. The rest were awful.
 
Once they started blitzing we were done for.

Exactly this. It looked like he had all the time in the world in the first half, pocket looked great, and he still only made one big throw for the TD. Second half, they brought the Blitz, and our O-line just collapsed.
 
The OL is hampered by the playbook. Until the playcalling becomes less predictable and Dak actually exposes the opposing defense teams will continue to play close to the LOS. It does not really help that the patterns keep so many defenders in the box.
 
Pass pro didn't look much better and neither did the run blocking. On the bright side the OL only had 3 or 4 penalties called against them.
 
The OL has rapidly transitioned from a strength and a point of pride to a bit of a disaster.

Excellence can be so fleeting in the NFL.
 
pressure dak and that's it.. tunnel vision, glitch whatever you want to call it..
 
It all starts with the QB...if he can’t recognize pressure and get the ball out of his hand it doesn’t matter what o line is playing in front of him

You were watching the wrong game. The Oline, once again, didnt get the job done in either phase.
