Pretty crazy we went into the season thinking the oline was going to be a problem and now they are a top unit in the NFL.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Oh look, another excuse debunked.

Playing devil's advocate. And not sure if they are bottom BECAUSE they played our defense, but 2 of our 3 defensive dominance wins were against alleged league's worst offensive lines. And the 3rd was against arguable the worst starting QB last year. (Jets)

Hmm I thought are line was the problem. Or was it the receivers Wait it’s the tight ends. Or was it the running backs. I lost track

 

[EenonyMoose]

And yet we can't run when we want to or pass protect when we want to. The Cowboys have two or three good individual performers, but this line as a unit hasn't been anywhere near top five in anything. Is PFF just averaging individual player grades? What is that supposed to prove?

It's pretty obvious teams are stacking to box to take away our run game. San Francisco pretty much told the world this last week.

Of the bottom 5 the only team not on the Dallas schedule is Tennessee.

 

[Praxit]

..based on what stats or analysis, makes Dallas OL #3?

Pundits will take anything they can, to keep Dallas in Top Agenda news.

There are PFF grades and then there are real results. Tyler Smith has been awesome this year. So has Tyron Smith; at least when he's been out there. Terence Steele has been bad, especially with penalties. Zack Martin has been banged up and not been himself. And center has been shaky with Biadasz in and out of the lineup.

If we think this Cowboys o-line is on the same level as the Eagles and 49ers based on PFF's grades I think we're making a big mistake.

 

[Captain-Crash]

so shakey dak has no excuse about the offensive line now. LMAO...

 

[CowboyFrog]

this for last week or the year?

 

[Captain-Crash]

This has to be like 10 years ago, shakey dak has never had a good offensive line.

Wait til the play us. PFF will have to invent a 33rd place

 

[glimmerman]

This is where I think PFF is full of it. Did they take Sunday night in to the grade.

No no now pff will not mean anything because those guys are geeks who don’t know anything about football. Get with the program. LOL just wait AC will be blasting you.

 

[baltcowboy]

Offensive line is not the problem. No matter what the draft Torrence brigade says. Tyler and Martin are best guard tandem in the NFL.

I think this is the danger of just listing out 1-5 and not breaking it down into tiers. I think what we are seeing is that Dallas just may have a top 5 OL in the league, but there seems to be a pretty large gap between teams 1-2 and teams 3-5. OL play around the league is simply not good overall.

Carter may be wanted for murder after them

I feel sorry for anyone that takes PFF ratings seriously.
