Is our O'Line overrated?

[john van brocklin]

Based on the early results I would have to say yes.
Average to good, but that best offensive line in history talk looks downright silly now.
And before you say "Well Romo's out , Defenses don't have to respect the passing game"
They looked pretty pedestrian the 6 quarters before Tony was injured.

Maybe Murray was part of the o'line's perceived greatness last year ?
Maybe they miss Callahan ?

Bottom line, if they don't improve we are looking at 2 and 7 in the win/loss standings when Tony gets back.

No our coaches running the same vanilla run plays over and over and refusing to throw down field to loosen up the box is the problem

They will miss Callahan, but come on guys give Pollack more time. Even Callahan had a slow start here or there. Give the line time. They didnt forget how to block, but Romo made things easier and Murray made things easier. So lets give them another game or two and see what happens.

Yes, I dont see how they regress so much in one season, I understand we lost Callahan but come on.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

I should also point out they didn't get to play together in preseason. Holding our star players out could be a big reason about injuries

 

[mattjames2010]

No. The pass protection has been better than last season. The running game is partly due to lack of talent at the RB position and defenses loading up to stop the run.

Yes , Tyron Smith is overrated . Doug Free looks done , Martin is playing injured . Frederick , Leary , and Collins have played well.

But I will say we have the worse starting RB in the league.

 

[RastaRocket]

We need Romo and Dez back (I know excuses, excuses). It's the only way this team can keep a defense honest.

 

[black label]

Every team we play has our o-line posted in there lockers as the greatest.

They are coming out to prove it wrong each and every week.

They are out playing us

Actually I think Philly owns that, their RB has less then 40 yards total on the season while Randle hasn't had less then 30 in a game

Smith is overrated? Really? Martin is injured? Is he even on the injury report?

Ugh Weeds took some shots down field and got a big play to Butler and a hammy prevented him from going all the way. It hasn't mattered. OL just can't sustain blocks and our tight ends haven't done a good job on the edge. Backside blocking has been atrocious. Free just doesn't have any mobility right now.

Right now it looks like health is the biggest factor. Martin looks like a shell of his rookie year and Free is damn near done.

Lamar Miller, as a starter, has only had 37 attempts this year. Most unbalanced offensive team in the league for no reason. They are also wasting his talent and he could very well end up in Dallas next year if Miami refuses to resign him.

What was it you said to me in another reply. .....dude that's just one play

Attempts don't matter right now Murray is the worst starting RB in the league

 

[big dog cowboy]

How do you think any OL would look when facing a 9 man front because you have Weeds playing QB?

 

[mattjames2010]

My bad, I for some reason read it as "Miami".

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Not sure where you get that cause I didn't say Murray at all. I said Philly has the worst in my orginal post you commented on.

It's all good I understand

How anyone could watch football this year and think murray made the oline is beyond me.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

The running game misses Romo and Dez.
