Oline has allowed 6 sacks so far in practice today

[Mattb_25]

There have reports all camp about Smith struggling against Ware and even Wilbur at times.

But i did say, let's see how he does this year.

As far as the OL as a whole, i agree too many overreactions based on this one day of struggling.

Are you surprised that he has struggled against one of the greatest pass rushers of all time? I don't understand why it's a big deal for this to happen. I'd be more worried about Ware if he wasn't dominating Smith.

So tomorrow if they give up no sacks we can talk about how washed up Ware, Ratliff and Spencer are and how we should have drafted Floyd. How washed up Kippen and Marinelli are.... I know it probably won't happen but at least we have something to complain about today. We can find something else tomorrow I'm sure . It;s PRACTICE

Did Monte Kiffin and Scotie Pippin have a baby?

You do realize he really didn't get sacked...he just got touched. He didn't take any punishment.

You do realize in a game the opposing team isn't going to just tap Romo, right? I mean do you honestly think that? They're gonna light his A up and try to take him out of the game.

It'd be nice to see Smith handling him with some consistency for a day or two at least.. show some signs of that freakish ability.

You do realize that there probably are only 3-4 teams in the league with a pass rusher on the level of DeMarcus Ware...maybe fewer.

And if the OL plays well the next two days are we going to rue the DL and demand we draft 1-2 DL next year. I don't like to hear this but I'll give it awhile before breaking out the crying towel.

Wow, really? I guess you're not the sharpest tool in the shed. Why don't you understand on game day teams don't play "touch" football, it's tackle. Geeeeeeeeeez

Sounds like Smith is turning into Free light. Free was good for one year, and then went downhill from there. Smith was good rookie year and his play is now Free bad. Wonder if the LT position has a curse on it. Whoever plays there, loses their confidence and game in a blink of an eye.

His point was, this isn't the regular season yet.. and our OL has played well most days according to reports so far. One day of struggling isn't cause to sound the panic alarm.

Lol.. is it?

 

[Richmond Cowboy]

I agree. I don't buy the "well he's facing a hall of famer" argument. I like Tyron, I realize he's still young, but I think it's safe to say that his progression has been slow. I think he belongs on the right side.

This article must be outdated, it was written YESTERDAY....

I demand right now that we draft 1-2 DL next year.. regardless of how they play. Same with the OL, as well.

Yup, Smith is all lol.

It doesn't matter who's pass rushing ... You do realize we have one of the WORST offensive lines in the NFL, so it doesn't matter if it's D.Ware or not, because we make EVERYONE look like D.Ware.

I understand the point he was trying to make, but let's not act like O-Line has been one of our strengths. They are one of the major reasons this team has been mediocre for the past couple years now. Also, no one is sounding the panic alarm, just I'm not going to blindly believe that they're going to play well UNTIL I see it during the season.

 

[FiveRings]

I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty bummed about this. I wouldn't mind Ware, Hatch, Wilber blowing up plays, but if the OL is getting worked over by the George Selvies and Landon Cohens of the world, I'm concerned.

But I guess it's just one day, there's been mostly positivity surrounding the group throughout camp, maybe it was just a day where nothing was clicking.

Ugh. Sometimes all I can do is shake my head at our fans...

Same here with you.

Whatever....

The general consensus is that Free, Smith, Frederick, Leary, Arkin and Costa have looked pretty good. Livings is coming off an injury. Bernadeau hasn't played. Cook and Dominguez are hurt. The free agent we signed today got hurt the first practice.

We still have 5 weeks of preseason....don't get too whacked out. Guys will come back. We will end up signing a vet.

Don't jump off a cliff just yet.
