I agree, the o-line is getting worse, especially in the run game.
Yet MM still thinks this team can "pound the rock".
Pass to set up the run, use screens, and play action (and play action even when you haven't run the ball effectively yet). I just don't trust MM as an OC.
Think about the first drive of the game. Cowboys get the ball, and everyone KNOWS that the Chargers secondary is their weak link. So, on first down, run up the middle for a yard, on 2nd down, run off tackle for a yard or two, and then on 3rd and long, no one gets open (against the Chargers????? after watching a week of film????), so then a 3-and-out punt.
That told me all I needed to know about McCarthy. He's just not ready to be an OC.
The Cowboys offense made this game much harder than it should have been, wasting wayyyy too many plays with ineffective inside running plays.
They better get ready in two weeks for the Cooper Kupp show.
