Mostly all Cowboy fans know where we need to improve

[Whirlwin]

The line doesn’t consistently move defenders and create holes for Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard in the running game. They don’t pass protect long enough for Dak Prescott to feel comfortable going through his reads and throwing deep. They commit way too many penalties — an embarrassing 52 as a unit — and if they can’t play any better than they did Sunday against Arizona then the Cowboys’ offensive woes will continue.

Prescott led the Cowboys in rushing, which should never ever happen. Elliott and Pollard combined for 25 yards on 12 carries. Embarrassing

 

[john van brocklin]

Offensive consistency is number 1 opportunity.
Reducing penalties is number 2

 

[Whirlwin]

I still believe if we have the ball last an opportunity to win. Prescott and Company will come through one thing he doesn’t do is choke

Dak gets solid protection this narrative that he doesn’t have time to throw is a joke.

The run blocking isn’t he best. Play Pollard.

 

[Whirlwin]

We only ran the ball three times consistently. And we created a first down. And then we stopped running the ball. Yeah who’s fault is that. I bet this offensive line is dying the pancake people

No the joke is you thinking he’s does. He cannot get the ball down field or wait for receiver to make a second move. He doesn’t have time to throw the first move. Stop being so negative on the quarterback and look at actually what’s happening.

There is a segment of the fan base that knows the issue, but doesnt understand why the problem exists or how to help solve it.

Sometimes he has time, sometimes he doesnt. Its a mixed bag. I am sure you have noticed the shorter, quicker throws of late. Part of that is the 2 deep safety look and part of that is Moore knowing he doesnt have time for the longer routes.

Why do you keep copy and pasting the same thing over and over?

At least give the article you steal it from credit.

Nothing changes until ownership and football ops are completely separate departments.

We had 3 Running Pl. in a row that created the first Down. And then we stopped running the ball. I know where the problem lies. I bet this offensive line is dying the pancake people

That’s an issue all in itself. I totally agree

What is a PI?

Maybe we can fix it next year’s draft. I would say free agency but we don’t want to much there

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

No one's perfect. Even the good lines suck every now and then. But that's when you need those speedy quick skill players to get a ton of run after the catch yards. They need to fix the line and get some speed on offense this off season.

 

[Whirlwin]

Plays. Sorry about that damn google

Yeah.. His protection is fine. I stand by that.

He holds the ball a long time and a lot of you say it’s the protection and it’s not.

He’ll get hit sometimes but 1 or 2 plays is not a complete narrative like some of you make it out to be.

Our pass protection is good.

 

[Captain-Crash]

probably, quarterback, a good quarterback can hide bad offensive play. a scrub makes bad offensive look worse.

I’m dying for them to throw the ball deep early for no other reason then just because. Make them respect it

As I said in the other thread:

Pollard is among the league leaders in yards per run. He wasn't even bad this past week, but didn't get chances and had an 8 yard run called back. The holes are there for Pollard.
Dak doesn't get sacked much and his time per throw certainly isn't short.

The problem is Zeke. He is slow to start with and he has taken to dancing before he hits the line. This is the NFL, not high school. Holes open and close fast. At least before he would hit the line with a head of steam and drive tacklers back a few yards. Now he just shuffles and falls over after contact.

Now that Zeke can't run, teams are backing off and forcing Dak to either take chances, throw it short or take sacks.

The line isn't fantastic anymore but its not terrible. When you look at the PFF grades, the sacks, the time to throw, Pollard's YPC, etc. it doesn't stand out as being terrible. The huge problem is Zeke's awful YPC and that's on Zeke.
