The o-line is overrated

[exciter]

Yeah, it not like the other teams players are getting paid because they’re actually good!

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Agreed, we have the best RB group in the NFL.


/sarcasm off

 

[Vinnie2u]

There are so many doofuses on this board, I swear.

You're a man of taste and dignity....

I'm not a fan of the scheme, but the OL looked good and the scheme was alright, to me for today.

 

[Pipelayer72]

O Line is tough, talented, and has potential to get much better and they will. I like what I saw today.

All of last year I heard former player say Tyler smith was a pro bowler or the second coming of Larry allen( r I p to the g o a t guard). Zack margins a hall of games who's still pro bowl level. Why can't they open more holes with these two in the line? Is it the players or the scheme? How do you have two pro bowl guards but have a ok at best run game? Even pillars went dominant with this line.

you are nuts. This game and the plan was dictated by the defense kicking butt. This is exactly like the start of last season. The defense was killing it and the offense did the bare minumum... by design. This forum was going nuts bashing the offense, because well, thats what this forum does, as evidenced by your post after 1 game.

Then this offense went on to lead the league in scoring.

 

[Reid1boys]

by the way, wasnt Cleveland the number 1 defense last year? How many sacks did we give up playing one of the top 3 pass rushers in the league????

They ended up with over 100 yards rushing. You do realize Cleveland has a good front 7 right and no team runs through them like hot butter.

Between our 3 RBs, they ran for a total of 70 yards. The problem is Dowdle used 8 rushing attempts for a measly 26 yards and a 3.3 yards/carry. Deuce ran 1 time for a 4 yard gain. Zeke ran it 10 times for 40 yards and a 4.0 yards/carry. Hope they give Deuce more carries next week and Dowdle less.

It’s only the first freaking game.. but I do wish we had a back that could make a difference.. Zeke and Rico don’t scare anyone. The OL will improve each week. So have patience grasshopper.

After they got up by 14 MM went conservative. Which is exactly what he should‘ve done. The haters will throw anything out there to get a rise and they could care less if it’s true or not.

Where does this top 3 defense come from? The Browns were the 13th ranked scoring defense, we were 5th. They were actually right where we were in run defense, actually let me backtrack, they were slightly worst in us in run defense. The only thing they were first in was passing yards, but they were 17th in passing TDs given up.

They have a new OC from last year, they lost Bill Callahan and their OL is injured.

lol the hell

 

[phildadon86]

It’s the scheme. People told me a real center would change it. NO! it's the scheme

How the OL coach kept his job with the available upgrades is beyond me.

 

[khiladi]

You know who the OC of the Browns is. It’s Ken Dorsey now and he was fired by the Bills mid-season.

Yep...people like rocky said they were deadly. Nope. Same ol same ol

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Only thing overrated is this topic and the original post.

So our o line is great? Not sure what your point is you aren't saying anything of value.

 

[LovinItAll]

And here I was thinking we did pretty well today

About half the posters here are Cowboys fans.

 

[Ranching]

Its the scheme. People told me a real center would change it. NO! it's the scheme

Our center is a rookie guard that had never played center! Thanks for the laugh!
