The o-line is overrated

So our o line is great? Not sure what your point is you aren't saying anything of value.
Yeah I definitely said it great :rolleyes: . How bout pay attention and stop putting words in people's mouths. My point is the OP is jumping to conclusions using that bs word 'overrated' which is in fact overrated and used incorrectly too much by many people. We have 2 rookies on an oline that was playing against one of the better defenses in football in their first game. All of that is my point.

Well maybe...and still can't run block to save themselves.

What value did you add with this post? Just pissing on a fan that is happy that we won. I know you aren't happy we won, but let those that are, enjoy it. It's not that hard. Go Cowboys!
You don't get to say, from there, if I enjoyed it or not.

Bug of course I did...not that I give a crsp what the likes of you think.

And if we didn't do well in certain areas I'm gonna say so...it does detract from me cheering on my team an celebrating the win.

Carry on judging things you have no idea about. It's a good trait I guess.

OK are you done. Please say yes because you haven't said anything worthwhile.
So you think we did great on run blocking? I sm asking because you are very confusing right now. If we didn't then we agree and I'm saying worth while things.

If not we disagree and you haven't said why.

Confusing

Sorry, I forgot your missing your buddies that flew the coop. You should go with them, you'd be much happier. Just looking out for you, but you'll probably turn it into a negative.

Its the scheme. People told me a real center would change it. NO! it's the scheme
I've been banging this drum for a while. That slow developing draw out of the gun on first down has no shot of success. I would love to see its stats. Dallas calls it constantly and I bet it averages less than 2 ypc.

There are multiple other running plays that just suck.

Apparently not done. Anything else?

Dallas went for over 100 on the ground and gave up pretty minimal pressure against the best defense in the NFL on the road.

The line played great when you consider those circumstances and the fact they were starting two rookies today.

I like the trajectory if this is where they start from.

Pretty early to “rate them” in any way, over or under.

We’ll know in a few more games what we’re looking at.

No complaints from me though.

Zeke had some nice runs, but he's old. Not the same player he was a few years ago. Dowdle was unimpressive....and we were playing last years best defense. We need a better RB1. All things considered, two rookie starters playing new positions, the line did alot better than I expected.

That was the #1 NFL Defense last year, in their house, on grass and it was the season opener. Give them time

Little too early for this. This is the first time they’ve lined up together in a game

Game one for two rookies starting first game against leagues best d-line. I’d say they did good overall.

went up a very good D line and good LBs and did their job pretty well with two rookies starting.

Frankly I was worried about this and they did better than I thought they would

Beebe was very solid and Guyton did pretty good against the best DE in the NFL
