OL is the primary problem

Can't wait to see the team spend more 1st rounders on offensive linemen while ignoring other phases of the team.
All for a good line, but it seems like Dallas can only build one when the majority of the line are first round picks lol.

Drafting another 1st round OL is insanity at this point


Focus needs to be on the front 7 of the defense

Steele has not returned to pre-injury form and doesn't look like he ever will

Martin's best days are way behind him, I would try to move him for a late pick at this point

Two rookies starting and one is really struggling

Leupke missed several pickups in pass protection when the Lions used line stunts

Fire Solari, the guy has shown nothing since he got here

How is the ol so bad? Can’t run block. Can’t pass block. Dak is not good enough to win without some type of run game- not many qbs are. Ol is playing pathetic
It starts at the top. Every problem starts with Jerry. It just filters down from there.

Jerry didn't fire McCarthy, who didn't fire Solari. The explanation is that simple.

been that way for 28 years for some reason..other teams seem to build cohesive units from all over the draft..we need 5 top picks to make the run game work...

I was told by @rambo2 that drafting Guyton and Beebe not only fixed the OL but would also fix the running game despite not having any good running backs.

I’m shocked by this. Just shocked.
Id ask for what he thinks we should do to fix it, but he'll probably try to explain that we are really 6-0 and everything is going great

Now don't get me wrong our offensive line is not playing great by any means however they are far from terrible. They currently sit at PBWR(16th) and RBWR(13) bar the lions game(will obviously go down). We have just become accustomed to top OL play for the vast majority of Daks career. What is concerning is the lack of run game when the OL is doing a decent enough job blocking. Bad schemes on top of bad RB's is where it's at.

Dal also sits in the middle of the pack for time to throw. So the OL is

OL has it's issues but the coaches have failed to develop a scheme that helps them at all. Very few players on this team are capable of winning their 1 on 1 battles consistently. There are ways to help scheme guys open that don't involve running the same 10 yard comeback route every time.
