The OL sucks

Mike Solari has made this unit even worse than last year somehow.

Biadasz was getting bullrushed all game

It’s the second game the oline has played together. Considering the injuries and all they’ve played decent in most games. Last night was bad though they have two really good edge rushers. I think pounded through the same hole over and over was a bit crazy

 

[McKDaddy]

Naw I get it. But if he did what you said the Pollard play for 80 yards doesn’t happen.

That's fair. He was really lucky to get out of the pocket on that one. Effort was rewarded.

Just think......these are our 5 best guys

I want to know.. where was TJ Bass? I'd be tempted to play Bass at LG and Smith at LT. That would help a lot, IMO. Keep Tyron as the swing.. and everythign else the same.

 

[Pass2Run]

I know he's been injured but Martin's been very average. I think missing camp has had a negative impact.

Like I tried to say at the time, the Cowboys never should have caved to his demands. When I said he just wasn't as good as he used to be, people poked fun at me.

The O-line is fine one of the best in the league, the opposing team has an NFL defense. The QB needs to time up some passes in 2.5-3 secs, three steps plant and throw. Judge the o-line off those.
SD has a pretty good run defense, I'd like to see improvement in this area.

Most everything Dak did tonight was on extended plays, in the 4-5 sec window, he was pretty good with his feet last night.

This o-line is not fine or one of the best in the league. I suggest you watch a few more other team's games.

Totally agree. Biadiaz is good in space, but is not strong enough to push, let alone hold, his position. Tyler Smith is good. Martin is still solid, but I don't think is the player of three years ago. Steele has looked terrible.

So . . .look at Miami. Tua takes one step and fires. Why are we not capable of this?

Nothing new there...

if you want to call it luck he had to put himself in that position to do it though. Him holding the ball did it.

The line has played well in the aggregate. The offense struggles running the ball because they telegraph it. The sacks were high because the ball was rarely out when Dak reached the top of his drop. Not all his fault. But, for whatever reason, he’s not throwing it on time. That’s why there’s no rhythm in the offense.

Tony is slow now.

We have scrubs at RB2-RB4.

OL not the problem.

 

[LACowboysFan1]

Dak had GREAT pocket presence tonight.
Are you blind! He was avoiding the rush ALL night making throws. Did you see the throw to Pollard? Did you see the throws to CD on the run?

Dak has been inconsistent this year, but tonight he carried the offense with no help from the running game and VERY little help from the pass blocking!

If your going to dump on Dak when he struggles, if your honest( a lot of you aren’t), you need to give him credit, when he plays well.

Forget it, at this point, people have made up their minds on Dak. Be it "he sucks" or "he's top-5" or (imho) "he's a bit better than average", nobody's changhing their opion on Dak.

Might as well get used to it. And whoever the next Cowboys starting qb is, if he doesn't turn out to be Roger and Troy and Don all rolled into one, it'll be the same thing all over again...

 

[DuncanIso]

A lot of complaining about the playcalls and the run game, but it starts here.

A bad OL and a QB with terrible pocket presence is a recipe for disaster

OL not the problem.

Scrub RBs, old QB, and a washed up HC are the problems.

 

[LACowboysFan1]

"he is only one year removed from ACL surgery and every one knows it takes 2 years..."

Not, he tore the ligaments Dec 2022, it hasn't been even a year. And no, it doesn't take 2 years, most recover fully in 1.yer, though some take 2.

Doesn't matter though, he's a JAG, needs to be replaced along with Tyron and Biadasz....

6 sacks and the OL is not a problem?

.....finally, somebody saw what I've been witnessing for a while now. It got masked with a lot of "Zeke done" campaigns. TPollard, your turn. OL needs some serious work.

we dont have near the speed Miami does no one does really. Speed changes things and dictates things

That was the play where defender had part of his jersey & appeared to be about to pull him over, right?

Just sayin it was really close to being a sack.

Maybe I didn’t see close enough if he had the jersey. I just feel if you want to be aggressive you have to go all in. With Matthew Stafford and Josh Allen you take the picks and sacks if it gets points on the board.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Dak being the leading rusher last night, isn't a good sign for the OL as far as run blocking goes. They should be able to go into some games at least establishing dominance in either the run or passing blocking game and can't be struggling in both areas.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Agree he should have angled instead of straight run at the end. Also saw a post that Gallup could have helped with a block

Wonder how fast Assante Samuel is as he’s the guy who caught Pollard

I don't think Gallup had leverage on Samuel, but he certainly didn't look like he was running very hard at it either.
