Offensive Line giving me Romo years vibes

[DFWJC]

He also had the innate ability to turn it over in crunch time and was a walking crystal chandelier.

You have very selective memory. You're not alone though.

Fwiw....His clutch stats were extremely high.

But sure, he laid a few eggs too

 

[DFWJC]

Was it Romos fault Patrick Crayton can't catch a perfectly placed ball twice? Was it Romos fault Demarco Murray fumbled a sure TD away? It's a team game.

Yeh, he actually...AS A QB....delivered clutch playoff game winning (or very late 4th qtr go ahead) drives 4 times.
--Game-winning, end of 4th qtr drive to beat Lions
--Perfect pass with 17 sec for game winner to Crayton...who pulled up
--Drive length of field vs Seattle as QB for go-ahead points....but muffed snap as special teamer (so dumb)
--Go ahead drive and perfect pass to Dez at Green Bay, but catch overruled

In fact, as a QB, in game winning drive situations, he never once blew it in the playoffs

The other 2 playoff games were a blow out win for Dallas vs Philly and blowout loss at Minn

I understand the offensive line has many new pieces, and it takes time to gel and become a cohesive force. I think too many here forget just how poor the offensive lines were in several of the Romo years. Lots of free rushers, and extreme chaos in the backfield frequently throughout each game.

This line is reminding me of those seasons. Romo was dynamic at evading those rushers to the point that Jerry was quoted that Romo did not really need much of an offensive line. Until he got hurt repeatedly and the team decided to build a better line of scrimmage. That culminated in 2014 with the drafting of Zack Martin and one of the best seasons in the past 28. That line was the motor for success during the Dak years, and is basically needing a full rebuild. Who knows what will happen with these new lineman, and if they will measure up? I think the front office was hoping that Dak could keep the show going like Romo and win half the games despite the lack of a functional offensive line.

The year we lost in the last game of the year to the Giants and missed the playoffs (we drafted Tyron the next draft) was the worst OL of my lifetime. I think one of the tackles might have been Rob Pettiti.

Romos line aged over night against the Minnesota Vikings. They were never the same.

This line actually has young talent. Tyler, Beebe, and Guyton are all super talented. We have some promising youth with lesser draft stock as well. Whether Steele can be returned to form is debatable now.

All said I think this is A LOT more about coaching, blocking, and running scheme than it is talent.

These coaches proved they couldn't generate a run game last year and yet here we are with an expected result.

Poor to awful lines in 2010, 2011, 2012, and most of 2013
Very good lines in 2007, 2014
Okay to above-average lines in 2008, 2009 and 2006

Dak is worse than Romo was in regard to the innate ability to turn it over in crunch time.

No he is not. LOL. Romo had a ton of win and get in game killing INT. He was lethal with those.

Yeah I won't pretend to know it year by year. I remember his line not being able to block for Bledsoe to begin his career. I also remember him not having a run game for a large part of his career.

Funny his best year was 2014, when we were mauling teams. It's a shame the FO learned nothing from that example.

I think you might be right but not sure
Pettiti had the want to but his feet were just too slow

 

[gtb1943]

show them then.
Tell me about that TON of them
bs

Sadly that team had a very poor D and would not have won it all.

 

[CWR]

Yeah the best thing about that D was keeping it off the field.

It helps me to sleep at night knowing Rodgers would've just crammed it right back down our throats, catch or no catch.

 

[KJJ]

I told several fans during the summer to tap the brakes on the OL. Some we’re going way overboard because of the new players we added.

 

[NumOneQB]

How much does Dak pay ?

The Romo nutswingers always try to make it about Dak. I never mentioned Dak. He’ll probably end up the same spot as Romo. Zero significant playoff wins.

 

[NumOneQB]

certainly did for a certain TE named Tyree for the Giants
you have a capacity for despising a person you never met that is rather frightening

Never said I despised him. I was just stating facts about Romo’s cowboys career.

 

[dragon_mikal]

He also had the innate ability to turn it over in crunch time and was a walking crystal chandelier.

This is an outright lie and you know it.

 

[NumOneQB]

Wow you really have an anger management problem

I don’t. I’m a perfectly laid back, chill dude . The Romo nutswingers need to check themselves and their revisionist history.

 

[NumOneQB]

Did you actually watch him play or are you just repeating things you heard on ESPN?

Ask yourself that same question.

a ONE LEGGED rodgers as well

 

[gtb1943]

sure tell yourself that

 

[NumOneQB]

What has dak done in the playoffs?

Again, the Romo nutswingers always want to make this about Dak. I Never mentioned him. Too funny.

 

[gtb1943]

Ask yourself that same question.

you never will that is for sure
