Our Oline has quietly become one of our strengths. I think its time we start pounding the ball and take pressure off Romo. It will open up the pass game. Question is......Does Garrett believe in the run game and does he have the patience?

Yes, but on one of those last goal line runs you can see why they need to give Parnell a chance to beat out Free in training camp. Free was blasted into the backfield while Parnell stood up his man and kept him out of the play.

Well I think a stretch play on the 1 yard line is a bad call. You run it three times behind Fredricks. If you cant get one yard you don't deserve to win.

Agreed. Except its Fredrick. Unless we have two of them now.

Here, here, let's give the O-line some props. They were effective all day, but they were stellar in those last two drives when they really had to be.

Oline has played well for the most part. We have no depth though so we're an injury away from last year.

I hope the Commanders fire haslett after this seasons, always gives Romo problems.

I like how they were in the scrum at the end of the game. Dallas offense has more dogs than the defense.

Frederick is quietly becoming a fantastic center...he looks like a seasoned vet out there....but, Ty Smith is ridiculous....he basically erased Orakopoo again (much like the first time they played)...

as well as they are playing, IMO, they would be even more dynamic had waters not suffered his freak injury...

Tyron should make the Pro Bowl this year. He's been rock solid all year against elite pass rushers.

Oh and I have no doubt Fredbeard is on his way. Great rookie season.

a really good run blocking O line would have gotten it in there at the end. Still a work in progress

yes, still a work in progress, but at least they are progressing and not regressing

They should've credited Free with that tackle.

Aside from that play te right side held up on that final drive.

They went from below average last year to above average this year. Are they a really great unit? No, but you can win with this unit all day long.

Agreed, but I think that for the most part, Bernardeau has been much better this year. (Other than that late adjustment on the stunt today).

But we look to have two good ones in Smith and Frederick. I just wish they had invested more in the trenches.

Two number ones is a good start, but not nearly enough.

Despite what some folks might think.

I agree, and I don't see a #1 next year (I am hoping for a DE/DT)....but, the rest of the OL has shown improvement this year, especially under the tutelage of one Mr Waters...I am OK with bringing him back for one more season and let the rest of the chips on the line fall where they may

Here we are going to Week 17 and the play callers fail to recognize what a strength our run game can be if used CONSISTENTLY.

I'm there with ya. But I would still like to see at least one or two picks in the coming draft used on the offensive line. Doesn't have to be the #1 obviously, but I think we can use some depth and future options.
