Offensive Line Troubles

[America's Cowboy]

Then: Tyler-Connor-Biadasz-Martin-Steele

Now: Peters-Tyler-Connor-Martin-Tyron

That's a lot of moving parts and it's really showing up in the running game. Not sure how that gets fixed in a week.

Tyler Smith plays better when at Left Tackle than Left Guard. I say if Matt Farniok is good to go next weekend but Tyler Biadasz is still out, keep Connor McGovern at Center, plug Farniok at Left Guard and move Tyler Smith back to Left Tackle. Keep Zack Martin and Tyron Smith on the right side.

Tyler Smith - Matt Farniok - Connor McGovern - Zack Martin - Tyron Smith

Old man Peters can remain the swing Tackle and come in when needed.

It’s cool bro. I waited for the “Dak collapse” and it came right on cue, even though Dak was giving us the same bits and pieces of it the past few weeks, despite the defense bailing him out.

 

[Ken]

Ah yes, so now we blaming the OL for all of Dak’s pick 6s. We’ve reached into the bag of excuses, where we don’t even count the ones that are caused by his armgetting hit, even though it’s because he has garbage pocket presence and is slow reading the field..

Oh, he's alive.

I knew a bad game would bring him back from the gutter.

 

[America's Cowboy]

I thought it was Moore? Now we on to the OL again? How many rebuilds we got to do with Dak?

Everyone performed bad: Dak, the Oline, WRs could not get any separation, playcalling was bad, rushing was non-existent, etc.

..Philly boards are looking for new recruits. Just suggesting..

He's been there since Dec. 24th.

Pick 6 got him posting again....shocking.

While the fans of this site kick the QB over and over, it seems all these people are either neophytes to pro football, or they are so biased they ignore what is playing out before them.
If the team can't run for over 3 yards a carry, and that is with both Zeke and Pollard, and the defensive front is in the backfield harassing the passing game at every turn, then to blame Dak solely is ridiculous.
I am disappointed in this game today. But I also see every pass being contested by the DB's of the Washington team as the front seven is in Dak's face continually.

Believe that or not. But the stats suggest when this team protects the QB and makes lanes to run, these guys are at the top of the league. So what changed over the last few weeks?

This is not the same offensive front that was protecting and creating running space.

While you're certainly entitled to think what you like and voice that here. There is far more to this than the QB. And if you deny that, then your bias and disappointment is clouding what is transpiring on the field.

Stop.

Yes, the OL has their issues but Dak is paid to be a game changer. He was awful today. Terrible. He bears a lions share of the blame.

I mean it wasn’t the OL that threw that awful pick 6. Or airmailed like 7 receivers today.

 

[HungryLion]

Sounds like you are scapegoating the OL for Dak’s horrible play.

Not everyone’s mind works like you, where all they think about is the QB and obsess over it 24/7.

Beating up on teams like the Titans resting their whole squad despite 3 TOs…. Yippee Dak! Loses to the Commanders playing a bunch of backups, it’s the OL fault!

Man how is that TD to INT ratio looking right now? Moore knows he’s got to tell this dude to throw quick and early, because the longer he holds on to the football, it’s a disaster..

Last 7 games Dak has thrown 11 INT's (including 2 returned for a TD) and had 4 fumbles. He is either pressing or something is going on as Dak is not taking care of the football.

Sounds like you are scapegoating the OL for Dak’s horrible play.

Sounds like you assume what I am saying when i was very clear in my anchor post what I thought.

I am not pleased with Dak's performance today. But this game was lost because of errors and poor offensive play. That means all of the offense. Not just one player. The real shame is the defense played fairly well until they got tired because they were on the field for so long.

People always want to blame someone for the loss. Yet there are eleven players on the field when the offense fails.
And at what point does Noah Brown find himself unemployed?

 

[Kingofholland]

Dak looked like he was the one starting his first game today. But yes agree the offensive line didn't play well today in opening running lanes.

 

[USArmyVet]

..Philly boards are looking for new recruits. Just suggesting..

Just because you differ on his opinion you suggest he leaves? That's funny.

 

[Praxit]

He's been there since Dec. 24th.

Pick 6 got him posting again....shocking.

..lol..

Just admit it bro, he is who he is. It’s the same thing over and over and over again. If he wasn’t baby-sat on this team and the FO didn’t tailor an offense to him for 7 years and protected his fragile ego with all the talent that surrounded him, he’d be a back-up somewhere.

You got dudes like Hurts putting up numbers in the “modern NFL”….

Dak is in and has been in a much better situation than the elite QBs in this league..

 

[SoBlue128]

It’s the oline and Dak. Dak played like dog crap today, the oline returned the favor. It was a shared crappy effort

 

[khiladi]

Dak is a TO problem…. He has always stared down his WRs. His homers talk about all these alleged WR drops, but DBs drop his garbage throws all the time.

Dak is a walking pick 6 right now pretty much every game. Cut the excuses.. he’s actually been getting bailed out a lot. Dude may be the luckiest QB in the league, despite how lacking in football smarts he is.

The offensive line has been playing poorly since Steele and Biadaz went down. And the WR’s not named Lamb can’t consistently get open.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

If the Cowboys are going into game after game with the run constantly getting stuffed and Zeke and Pollard struggling to get over 100 yards combined, then the OL is an issue when it comes to run blocking and also has been at the bottom of the NFL when it comes to pass protection. Other OLs are able to open up holes near or at the middle for their RBs and it seems like the Cowboys OL struggles with this.

 

[TwoDeep3]

So Dak needs a perfect OL. And all other QBs in the league make due with what they have?

This bull**** blaming the line is sooo ridiculous.

No one said anything like what you posted. But what I find hilarious is in the videos' of Kurt Warner is doing his analysis of Dallas' offense and Dak, he has some pretty clear and concise thoughts on the way specific plays end up winning or losing and he mentions poor play design, along with Dak not throwing to the easiest receiver, to dropped balls.

But I could be wrong in believing a Super Bowl winning QB over a guy siting in front of his keyboard.

QB's don't make DUE. What you meant was make do. But if that is the case, then why aren't all QB's stats similar? Because, in your opinion, they make do.

Further, as stated several times, even before the injuries to the offensive line, Marcus Spears gave the stat that Dallas was 5th from the bottom of the league in giving up hurries.
I am not absolving Dak. But what I find comical about guys like you who see one thing and one thing only without looking at the evidence at hand, is when Dak and the offense have a running game and time to throw this is one of the top teams in the league.

Or to put it another way, Pollard would run for a touchdown on every play if the defense didn't tackle him. But then that must be a bull**** excuse for Pollard.

But go ahead and ignore that stat since it doesn't fit into your bull**** agenda.
