The offensive Offensive Line

[Whyjerry]

Lots of Dak haters out there. I think the scheme is the problem. You know what also is a problem? The OL! Besides receivers not getting open Dak was under constant pressure. No Green to blame they sucked. Carolina destroyed that OL especially in the second half.

I know we are supposed to genuflect at this group but they have been poor the last year plus.

I just rewatched the game Heath and Sean Lee were also terrible. Heath is just not a starter and Lee might have played a little in preseason because that guy was not ready to play football.

The offense playcalling sucks. Not only that, when the play breaks down the receivers just stand there as if their going to be open. This is probably the design of the offense pure and simple.

Pass rush was a factor, but QBs have to get the ball out.

To who exactly? The receivers do not get open.

Lee was missing tackles. Our O-Line could have played better. Williams played like a rookie for sure. Dak played terrible. He had Jarwin wide open on the run with no pressure. He was standing there and he underthrew him. It was a TD.

Preseason is for pikers in Dallas.

I think we are seeing a once elite OL that is trending downward from great to “good” thanks to some guys breaking down and replacements like Williams & maybe even Collins being not as good as their predecessors. I’m not sure how Looney played but it seemed like the problem today was Smith, Williams, and Collins more than anything Looney did wrong. That is unless he made some wrong calls which is possible.

Agreed - a lot of the pressure faced tonight seemed to be a product of this and not being able to navigate around pressure that seemed avoidable with better pocket presence. Protection wasn’t great but not like the guy across the sideline had protection that was any better

Sorry but this is a Dak issue, not Sean Lee or Jeff Heath or the OL. The guy passed for 170 yards on 19 completions with no TDs. Thats gonna lose every week.

This OL is similar to the whole Cowboys team. They look good against average and worse front 7's, but struggle against good ones.

Defense did its job. You are looking at the wrong side of the ball like most Dak apologists.

The OL has never been the same since Calahan left.

Carolinas front is as good as it gets. That was a tall order to slow down today

Did Cam light it up? Did I miss that? This game boiled down to a world class crap scheme, a moronic coaching staff that blows off preseason, and the most overrated OL in the league. Jeez man watch the game again. Dak missed a couple throws sure but he was getting harassed regularly, Zeke was a non factor, and the WRs don’t get open.

You guys are nuts pinning this all on Dak. This crap starts at the top.

Am I saying anything about Cam? That Panther team has no chance in the NFC South..........but they are way better than us. Dak's just picking up where he left off last year. He's awful.

Did you watch the same game? I love Lee but he was terrible. Gave up the first TD plus matadored at least 10 plays. Worst game of his career in my opinion.

The defense did its job. They gave up next to nothing. The teams problem is on offense. Everybody knows it but you b/c your trying to protect your pet cat.

I think we all understand that. I’d bet even the guys on the OL would say it was a disappointing performance. But regardless of that, I base my opinion on much more than just today. Tyron has clearly been on the decline since late in ‘16 and we aren’t as strong at LG and RT as we once were. When Fred is back it will be a good OL again and there will be good days yet to come, but I think as a unit their very best days are probably behind them and not ahead of them.
