Stop telling us that PFF says we have a top 5 offensive line

[TheMarathonContinues]

Bro, Connor Williams is playing lights out for the Dolphins. Connor McGovern is playing much better for the Bills. He even said he noticed a huge difference and better Oline coaching at Buffalo.

I've been saying it for years, the Cowboys fail badly at bringing in a top notch Oline coach, and it keeps affecting the team.

Even with Connor I just had an issue with the penalties his play wasn’t terrible….we could use both for sure right now.

Imho, it all started in the draft. Dallas had a need to fix the trenches and they didn't do it, so it is what it is.

I think we're going to need 2 ready to go starting caliber OL in next year's draft.

Me too, a Center and a LT/LG depending on where Tyler Smith plays.

its even crazier that some fans blame Dak for the sacks

All of these talks about how Dak gets paid to be an "elite QB" or at the very least a QB who can win big games like this and get the Cowboys to a Super Bowl. Which is true. But Steele is also got paid and is paid to protect Dak and not constantly get beat within seconds all game long. And gets paid to be able to show up against the best of defensive line men. Yet some will only try to blame Dak and expect Dak to have to always be on his guard and throw the ball away within seconds when Steele is letting defenders get to him untouched.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

I mean when one man gives up 4 sacks that's unchartered territory. You can can get someone off the street to do that.

And would have given up even more sacks if it weren't for Dak either getting the ball out quickly or extending plays with his feet. Dak can't always be expected to bail Steele out when he is being a turnstile getting multiple defenders get a free shot at him.

Because they may be ranked high as a GROUP thanks to Tyler, Tyron and Martin's individual grades but there is nothing top 5 about anyone on the line capable of doing this:

I don't think you'll have to worry about this after the week's grades come out.

I have a feeling they will still be top 5 or 10 as a unit lol.

Ten penalties and 5 sacks...blame goes directly now to McCarthy. He is setting difficulty right now, for any playoff advantage. Away games here they come.

You were one of the loudest Jerry supporters for making no trades at the deadline. And now suddenly you want to complain about our offensive line? You can't have it both ways. You agreed with Jerry that this was a complete team, so now you can't blame any players for shortcomings.

No I didn’t. What I said was there was nothing available at the deadline. The time to fix this line was the offseason not the trade deadline. It’s too late then. But to off and tell me about the imaginary guard or right tackle that was out there.

 

[KJJ]

When the game was on the line our OL got us beat.

 

[Praxit]

..how the hell did Chazz Green sneak up on us?

 

[ChuckA1]

Very poor FO planning for contingencies.

What's Steele's overall grade NOW? And, does it say how many sacks he's given up this year?

He checks in with a robust 45.4 overall (35.0 pass blocking grade). He's #73 out of 76 rated tackles, only ahead of Josh Ezeudu (Giants), Vederian Lowe (Patriots) and the great Evan Neal (Giants - overall grade of 39.8). Steele has allowed 6 sacks, 6 QB hits, 16 hurries and 28 pressures.

Steele might of given up more sacks and pressures this year than Martin, Tyler Smith, Tyron Smith and our center combined.

And we continue to start his when its obvious he sucks.

And oh yeah i'm starting to think we outbidded ourselves on Terrence. Who the hell was giving him that deal?

Jerry always looks on the bright side with injured players.

Last year we guaranteed Gallup 2 years coming off injury.
This year the recovering Steele gets the big contract.

Yeah thos eare looking like two goofs.

I just never saw it with Steele though. Only thing he did well was run block and our run blocking sucks....

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

I don't think we are top 5 anything, except in losing big games.

And penalties.
