Offensive Line Troubles

[McKDaddy]

The pass blocking wasn’t too bad

Yeah, you can't say Dak didn't have time on most plays. Run blocking is a fair criticism.

 

[TwoDeep3]

So blame anyone and anything but the QB?

I believe I have responded to several people in this thread and said over and over that I am disappointed in Dak's play. But there were eleven men on the field who were losing their assignments to the Washington players. Why is it people who live and breathe Dak spite refuse to acknowledge that some of us wo are not quick to say Dak is the sole reason the team loses must mean we ignore his faults?

Are any of them making 40 million a year? Are any of them accounting for 20% of your total Cap hit? Theres a reason #85 is playing a lot of snaps.. It aint cause the coaches think hes one of the best wideouts in the league.. Its cause hes cheap.

You are new here and have not had the opportunity to understand I don't give a tinker's damn what these guys make. Jethro and Little Anus have not shown in 27 years they will utilize the money to build a team that is strong on both sides of the ball. So if Dak makes 40 mill a years, which is less than others who have signed since, that will never make a difference because of who runs this team.

Dallas has needed defensive tackles and safeties since The Poodle was the head coach and have yet to address that. So why should I waste my time wringing hands over the salary of Dak? Your argument doesn't fly with me.

I wondered what you dak idiots would choose for the excuse today for Dak playing badly
Clearly the O line is the consensus choice

actually the dak fanatics were indeed claiming he was not bad today
this whole thread started out by a dak fanatic looking for an excuse

First off, I and no one who doesn't assail Dak with slander after a loss are idiots. I suggest you review the rules of this board and name calling.

Second, I started this thread, and I am not making excuses for Dak. I am stating there are reasons why things happen, and if you look at the fact Dallas is one of the top scoring teams in the league, yet over the last few weeks they have been hurt by offensive line injuries which has trickled down into both the rushing and passing games, that suggests Dak is not the lobe suspect in the failure on the field.
I don't have to excuse Dak, because this is a team game Now if that gets your boxers in a bunch, that's okay. But don't jump in here and assign comments to people when they did not make them.

Lawyering since you got called on it

 

[Cmac]

Everybody wants our RBs to perform with an OL effort like that. Wow.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Line has struggled. Dak has struggled. Both are true and are likely connected.

Dak isn’t a player that can succeed with even average team play. His line and receivers must play well or he is powerless to change outcomes.

In short he’s not a player you dedicate big money to or the roster can’t keep up.

 

[Word Mofo]

Pass pro looked okay. Dak has a horrible tendency to get happy feet and leave the pocket, often running right into the rushers.

Now, the lack of a run game is a disaster. That has to be cleaned up

“Disappointed” is the understatement of the century

Dak was a so horrific he was the paramount reason for our loss

I truly pity the experience you seem to be having with this team. But I have been posting here with you for quite a while and wonder have you forgotten Quincy, Wright, Drew Henson and others? Dak isn't Brady, but he is leaps and bounds better than those guys.

But it comes down to the team surrounding him. And the guy calling the plays who consistently shows he loses the feel for play design and game planning.
I'm not saying Dak is horrific. And I seem to remember Romo playing the Bills once and turned the ball over 5 times with interceptions.

The common denominator of Brady and Rodgers which make them stellar is the fact they get rid of the ball quickly, and decisively. Their lines protect. Dak needs more. That doesn't make him a serial killer.

I have enjoyed this season's 12 wins is great. If they get past the first round of the play-offs, so much the better. If not, then its see you next year. But I am not going to have a cloud hanging over my head because they over-achieved more than most thought they would.

I still grieve a little. But there is always another year.

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.

After line failures that were going on following opponent successes...linemen were just standing around the failed blocking as if nothing happened or they weren't guilty parties. Kind of like movie star Cowboys.

I agree with some of that but Dak gets some blame too. That pick 6 today was as terrible as it gets.

Look at Burrow and his OL, especially last season.

Blame goes to all levels of the team including coaching and Dak

Why are you such a P R I C K?

 

[32BellyOption]

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.

Biadsz back means the line is intact minus Steele. I’m more concerned with KM and his play calling than the line play this week. Running Zeke into a stacked D every first down isn’t putting our fragile minded QB in a good position.

 

[Cowboy_svt]

I wish they tried out some line changes to see if anything got better, actualyl use the game as a tuneup or trial instead of the great s-show on turf.
Wouldve been cool to see Tyron-Tyler-Mcgovern-Martin-Peters
or at least try Martin on right tackle, Tyron definitely not as elite on the right as on the left

 

[JohnsKey19]

The pass blocking was about the only thing the team did fairly well yesterday. That's just from watching the game live. Perhaps the game film and advanced stats will prove otherwise. Everything else was crap across the board.

 

[Doomsday101]

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..

Pick was on dak no questions about it but so sit there and act like OL played great is laughable. OL got their butts handed to them. That is not shifting blame that is telling it like it is. If it makes you feel better to say Oh it was all Dak then I question your football intelligence. Dak played poor very poor but so did many others on this team and they best get it turned around quick.

 

[khiladi]

This is Denver once again. No need to blitz, contain the run rushing 4, and make Dak complete a pass.

The Commanders did it and Dak showed himself once again.

Yep and on the pick six, I think Shultz was open in the middle but Dak just decided he was throwing it to Noah pre snap! Dak in an average NFL QB with some good days/quarters thrown in but wildly inconsistent and poor in the pocket. CD was so frustrated yesterday. I am pretty sure guys were open and Dak was not throwing it to the right people!

 

[Doomsday101]

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

Sound like you are trying to remove any accountability for the OL play. No is covering for Dak or making any excuses for Dak.
