Rate the O line

[Yakuza Rich]

Pretty good pass protection, but outside of Larry Allen none of them can run block to save their life.

Bad pretty much sums it up- it will probably be our eventual downfall- that or kicker.

While I think our offensive line is not the best OL in the league, it is certainly not the worst! You cannot have the worst OL and still be 7-4! Unfortunately it will not get any better and hopefully not any worse for the remaining 5 games. As BP says "we are what we are".......I thought it was a great game that could have gone either way. I like Billy C. but oh how I squirmed when he missed that 33 yarder! My biggest problem was with the running of Ron Dayne.......how did he get so speedy? He was awful with the Giants.......which brings me back to the reality that we must beat the Giants in the Meadowlands. Good night all..... :zzz:

Dayne got by when ROy was tackled- but it really hurts to see that dud get a 55 yd run. TALK ABOUT AN INSULT!!!!

 

[burmafrd]

We are 7-4 IN SPITE OF THE O LINE!!!

 

[dbair1967]

10-6 is the best I can see now with the O line NOT BLOCKING.
And it is not like Denver's D line is all that good. HALF OF THEM ARE OUR LEFTOVERS!!

 

[BlueStar II]

Our pass blocking wasn't very good, but our run blocking was terrible...no holes to run through, no running game...period! More to the point, until our running game does begin to work on a consistent basis, this is the type of offensive output (or lack thereof) that we're going to be seeing more of. Parcells loves his running game to set the tempo, well right now, our running game is for the most part...non-existent!!

Putrid.
Awfull.
BAD.
Mediocre.
Inconsistent.

Choose one or all.

They're the best in the league at getting away with holding.

Roy put his head down and got buried. End of story.

This has got to be the worse OL the Cowboys have had since our total rebuilding 1-15 season in '89. These guys are absolutely horrible.

 

[Sarge]

Pass and run blocking = poor.

 

[scottsp]

I don't know that the run blocking can get much worse. There were too many negative rushing plays, in the second half especially. This is becoming rather commonplace. Guys are getting beat off the ball, at the point of attack, and we have no shot to clear the line of scrimmage in many cases. And I don't see this as being an issue of blocking execution. We have some holes up front. That much is obvious.

The pass protection had a breakdown here and there, but I don't believe it to be nearly as bad. We were able to provide enough protection for Drew to have time to set and throw most of the day. It would've been nice if it were solid enough for us to send more receivers into pass patters, but oh well.

Denver really had no reason to fear Dallas' ground game. Would you? Even Philly's rushing attack is making ours look anemic. Defenses love to pin their ears back when they don't respect your ability to run. Right now, this is what we are faced with.

All I know the word sucks is not even strong nuff to desribe our OL. I am not sure if they could even open up a hole in our running game if a team lined up a bunch of old people from a retirement home on a DL.

 

[Mansta54]

OLINE stinks.. Its a damn shame too, cause this is a pretty good team and could be really good if they would somebody....

[Givincer]

out of 10 i would give it a 3 because it has had some moments even entire games of being good, but really its horrible in reality. We probably have a top 10 worst offensive line in the league - we definitely have the worst tackle tandem in the league.

 

[Wolverine]

ONLY REASON we will not be going to the Super Bowl this year is cuz our our sorry excuse for a offensive line.

 

[Cbz40]

I'll go with bad
