This Offensive Line has NEVER been great - OVERRATED

[JBS]

Guys, I see posts about how the offensive line is struggling and people point the finger to different players - whether its flozell, kosier being out, gurode and his snaps, etc. But the REALITY is this is the same terrible offensive line that protected Bledsoe. Granted Drew bledsoe did NOT help any by holding on to the ball for too long. The point is, once Tony Romo came along, all of a sudden this offensive line started playing like an all pro line. I CALL BS ON THAT!

Tony Romo came in, he obviously can move around in the pocket which Bledsoe couldn't do, and as we know he himself would avoid multiple sacks a game. Tony Romo also has an amazingly quick release and typically gets rid of the ball quickly - which also makes the Oline look better.

The MAJOR problem right now, while Romo was in at QB, and when he gets back, is the fact that he no longer can get rid of the ball as quickly because our wide outs are not getting open. Some will say, well because the wideouts aren't open hurts the offensive line - which is absolutely true. But the REALITY is a dominant offensive line ( see patriots of last year) gives the QB what seems like ALL DAY to throw in the pocket and our Oline just does not do that. Hopefully once Roy Williams and Romo get on the same page - we will start seeing Romo get rid of the ball quicker because he has some receivers open. In my opinion that is our only option - because I think its faaaaaaaaaar fetched for us to expect something out of our oline which they haven't done for quite some years now. This IS the SAME Oline that we had with Bledsoe, it is ROMO who makes them look good.

Tom Brady is the best ever at moving around IN the pocket and giving himself more time to throw, the Patriots didn't have a dominant Oline.

I thought the ol was better then they are.

Let me throw this out there. Could this have to do with Houck? Houch could be changing the way they are playing situations. That can cause negative effects during the transitioning.
