Offensive Line appreciation thread

[NorthwestDallas40]

263 yards rushing. 5.8 yards per carry. 0 sacks allowed. Aaron Donald 3 tackles. Dominance.

When they play with this intensity and urgency - and Zeke hits the hole that hard, they'll never be out of a game.

myself and others have called for a change in blocking schemes. today we saw what can happen when you play smash mouth football, not candy butt zone blocking.

The OL is the reason the Cowboys won big !

What scheme would you change to and how would you implement it?

You’d surprise me if you could give me a half way decent football argument

 

[jwooten15]

The o-line playing well, coupled with a motivated and focused zeke is a thing of beauty

Whole team appreciation thread? Lee, Lewis, OL, DL, Zeke, Pollard, Dak, everyone played a heck of a game today.

GO. BOYS.

I hope this lands Connor in a backup role next season. Kid is just too light

what you saw today is what I've been proposing for weeks. impose your will on the guy in front of you. don't try and outsmart him, kick his butt. ask aaron Donald.

 

[Carson]

No holdings on Smith either!

Yeah in a zone scheme like we’ve been running for years.

 

[cowboyec]

our run game is sexy.
we keep that up...we might just get that storybook finish.

the way we blocked when frank pollack coached the o-line. not the way we've blocked under alexander and then columbo. the way we blocked today will be just fine from now on.

TOTAL.DOMINANCE.

 

[CowboysLegends2]

This was by far the best showing by the cowboys line in years. I have felt for a long time that they are overrated but today they were every bit as good if not better than their reputation.

good old fashioned smash mouth football. "everyone's got a plan until you punch them in the mouth"...…………………..mike tyson

now...THIS kinda game plan travels well this time of year.

Do you realize that Colombo is still the o-line coach and the zone scheme is the same under Pollack, Alexander and Colombo?

Come on man. Don’t be one of those fans. Be better and smarter.

Or stick to fishing or whatever you do besides try to talk football.

And I’m from West Texas too where football is King

doh…….…..when or where did I say colombo wasn't the o-line coach. and our blocking schemes clearly changed when alexander came here. some of the o-line guys were complaining about it. good to see we could be neighbors.

I agree 100%. I've been calling them overrated the past 18 months. If they can carry this team into and through the playoffs into the Superbowl, I will GLADLY eat crow.

When you said “not the way we blocked under Alexander and then Colombo”. You’ve got to realize that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. But the scheme is the same.
