On a scale of 1 to 10, how concerned with LG are you

[Ekspozed]

Ok buddy. Glad to know you love the line.

This line is better than the 2022 wr core you loved so much

 

[CowboyRoy]

This line is better than the 2022 wr core you loved so much

Didnt love any wr core last year.

This oline is woefully not good enough to win it all.

But hey, you say they are great so that makes me feel better.

 

[Jarntt]

He went REALLY quickly. No way the Cowboys had real interest and let him go that fast. Cowboys are all about keeping their own, unless you just aren't in the plans.

And we know from multiple reports that they didn’t offer him a deal before free agency began.

He keeps talking about "facts" but literally has NONE.

It's just him personally sad about the loss.

0

With an injury or two, the offensive line could become a huge liability. That 0 will become an 11 in a hurry , especially when the patchwork line starts letting your QB take a beating.

 

[jnday]

Going into the season with this O-line, reminds me of what we did last year at the WR position...

It’s kind of like watching an idiot drive 130 mph. You know what’s coming, but there’s not much you can do about it.

Fixed it for you.

You're right though...

It’s kind of like watching an idiot drive 130 mph. You know what’s coming, but there’s not much you can do about it.

If the idiot driving 130MPH is in last years Moore/Garrett/Turner/Boise State hybrid car, I'd agree with you.
But the idiot is moving to the McCarthy West Coast for.........reasons.
Aaron Rodgers drove it. He said, ""It’s about timing and rhythm and balance and everything makes sense protection-wise. You know where your hots are, you know where your eyes are going every single time, you know how the concepts fit together.”

That's a promising drive when you have a QB who has trouble processing at the snap of the ball.
With this new model our QB knows where his hots are and where his eyes are going every single time.

Why is that important? Let's look at some numbers to see.....

In the Time to Throw metric, which measures how quickly a QB gets rid of the ball, Dak ranked bottom third, 20th, with 2.71 seconds before getting rid of the ball, (2.5 seconds is considered a good mark).

That's an issue. Your lineman have to hold their blocks longer while Dak processes the field. And how did that work out?

When Dak held the ball longer than 2.5 seconds, his completion percentage was 57.8%, TD/INT ratio was 20 touchdowns, 14 interceptions.
His passer rating dropped to 87.5.

But when throwing in 2.5 seconds (or less), Dak completed 77.4% of his passes, had 8 TDs and on 3 picks.
His passer rating was 99.3.

So which model do you want Dak driving? The one where the lineman don't have to hold their blocks as long and Dak gets rid of the ball quickly?
Or do you prefer the Moore/Garrett/Turner/Boise State Hybrid where the complaint is, "Dak can't read a defense; Dak held the ball too long?"

None of that promises Dak is going to be Aaron Rodgers. But it will make it easier on the lineman and QB.
And yeah, McCarthy expects to keep some things this team does well in his playbook.

So if Dak follows the plan we don't need monster lineman to hold 3-4 seconds. In the West Coast the guards get inside help with pass blocking so they only have to have enough power to not get trucked.

My needle hasn't moved, still at zero. And no time to panic when the start of the season is months away.

 

[Cebrin]

Position was much talked about here throughout the draft. How concerned are you

I'm more concerned with when our LG becomes out LT again leaving little talent behind him.

 

[LatinMind]

Edoga has good tape at LG

People here had the same reaction with Kosier. Idk if he's going to work out, but we'll find out soon enough

 

[75boyz]

IF Edoga, Farniok or Ball prove incapable of stepping up once Tyron goes down and Tyler replaces him , then there could be some real problems on offense. As if it's not already quarterback challenged to begin with, lol.
It's really that simple.

Not sure how many here have full confidence in those 3 to get the job done but I am not a big fan of that OG depth chart.

 

[Stash]

I'm sorry if you think the Cowboys couldn't afford that contact and I'm even more sorry you think we missed out.

He won't be missed.

I know the typical Dan line when a player leaves.

“He wasn’t that good. We didn’t want to keep him.”

And anyone who comes in is suddenly better.

Your bias isn’t unique.

You see the FACTS and ignore them yet talk about facts then switch to spewing nonsense.

Facts: we offered him no contract.

You say we couldn't afford but if we didn't even offer him a contract that means we had no interest.

Let's stick to what we are actually talking about being babbling when you're wrong.

 

[jaythecowboy]

I put a 5. I’m kinda high on Richards. I think he could win the LG spot.

 

[75boyz]

Yep. I posted the same but with more specific wording.

 

[kskboys]

Kosier wasn't injury prone.

 

[Stash]

Where is this “fact” written or proven?

I’ll wait.

You say we couldn't afford but if we didn't even offer him a contract that means we had no interest.

Let's stick to what we are actually talking about being babbling when you're wrong.

Where is the proof for anything you’re claiming?

 

[CATCH17]

It’s not a concern it’s more like we can’t win anything with Dak unless we have the greatest Oline ever assembled.

I know right?
The one church of Dak follower has already sharpened his blame it on the O-line knife in advance and is just getting warmed up to start his o-line excuse marathon before the season has even started.
So funny to read that crap, lol

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

We will rue not taking OCyrus Torrence. Him next to Tyler Smith for the foreseeable future so much better than adding a middling TE.
