6th. I thought Dak was running for his life every game? Another Dakxcuse removed.

 

[Creeper]

Hard to believe Dallas is 6th. Wee were only 18th best in sacks and 16th best in rushing average. There must be a reason we were rated that high but whatever it is does not translate into game stats.

 

[big dog cowboy]

They must have just watched the games against the weaker teams we dominated. They weren't the 6th best OL in the league this year.

 

[Risen Star]

One day you guys will give up on these stat geek win rate BS grades and rankings that don't mean anything.

The 6th best OL can't be taken seriously.

only a couple.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

LOL, never did pay much attention to the ratings these people give. Garbage.

 

[Shinaoi]

There must be some really bad lines in the league right now.

 

[Captain-Crash]

dang, that excuse got blown up rather fast.

You're crazy if you don't think our oline is at least top 10, you can put that on a shirt

This more than the line being good.
Its just that so many were really bad

 

[Captain-Crash]

the only problem we had was some guy held onto the ball too long.

If you only watch the Cowboys play then you'll absolutely think that this list is crazy. Reality is though there is a severe lack of well rounded olinemen in todays game, and once you get outside of the top 4 in these rankings you can almost list the next 10 teams in any order you want to.

I think the author hit the nail on the head in the Cowboys blurb too in saying "The Cowboys’ run-blocking hasn’t been as strong as we believed it would be, but they’ve ignored much of the duo and outside zone runs they’ve had success for in the past." This is a really good point that left many scratching their heads all year. They really didn't utilize Pollard to his strengths and basically tried to make him Zeke with all these inside runs. What the Cowboys tried to do in the run game, and what they're built to do were two very different things.

This only goes to show how terrible OL play is across the league right now.

Cowboys pattern is pay a RB then run his legs off and move on to next one. This is organizational.

Instead of pay Pollard and find him a good compliment to his style.

 

[noshame]

Too bad they don't break out, run blocking VS pass blocking. I'm pretty sure the pass blocking was decent and the run blocking was horrific LO. L

Correct move is to NOT pay Pollard
Can find him in every draft

 

[ak47kaehu]

Is there a weighted breakdown of pass vs run blocking.....because I swear they were atrocious when it came to run blocking....

 

[Redline360]

I expected we had a top 10 offensive line however closer to the 8-10 range imo. Higher then I expected but were see what other platforms place us.

As people have stated it goes to show how bad the OL play is around the league. People just get narrow minded and zoned in on our OL.

Run blocking wasn't great nor terrible. I dunno why people think we had some trash tier run game. Pollard also got wrecked with tons of big plays called back at the last half of the season. Think there was a post in twitter that had him ranked first by a large margin on yards called back in a 4 week span. But yes the run game needs to improve.

 

[diamonddelts]

It all goes back to the lack of hitting at practice. You can not teach technique, leverage, and how to move other large men against their will with only run throughs with no pads on.
