We’re gonna get blown off the field

Where are you getting this from about Asim Richards? He struggled badly starting at Left Tackle against the Jaguars 1st team D-line.

Against the Seahawks, Ball played well. Too bad he is done for the season due to injury. This is what PFF had to say about the rest of the Oline reserves, including Asim Richards...

"Unfortunately, the rest of Dallas' offensive side seemed to struggle, especially in the run-blocking realm, so it seldom paid off with explosive runs and notable gains. The Cowboys desperately need one of their reserve interior offensive linemen to step up and prove capable of contributing if forced to play in a game that truly matters."

I watched every offensive snap for each offensive lineman at least twice (12+ repeats). I have no idea what PFF is talking about with Richards, unless they are specifically focusing on his guard play. He was my top graded OL against the Jags almost tied with Ball. Then I felt like he and Ball traded on the Seahawks but he still played outstanding, and then TJ Bass entered the chat and Richards and Bass tied for top performances in game 3.

Ball and Bass are IOL and are very good at it. Neither should play OT (Ball in game 3 was yikes). Richards is an OT and is very good at it. He should not play OG unless he gets ALOT stronger

Because their reactions are either

”HA! I told you so!”

OR

”HA! It was only the Giants!”

This right here pretty much sums up the attitude of a certain subset of posters on this board that we all are quite aware of.

No matter what happens, they throw a fit. It is so childish that I almost have to believe that it is an attempt at satire.

So I shouldn't stay up late to watch one of the few games I can watch this season?

Sure you should. Just make sure you're good and drunk.

 

[XXLMike]

Yeah. Tyron looked awful against Nick Bosa in the playoffs. Two tackles, one QB hit. That's against the defensive player of the year. And Tyron was playing a position he had hardly played for years.

Dude, can’t tie his own shoes .

From second article as it relates to Asim Richards play at LT

This one play can summarize how the Cowboys offensive line performed...

Asim Richards: kicks out well, solid leverage

The quote you provided states interior lineman in Particular, this would not be Asim Richards, as the quote I provided seems to concur with.

We were discussing the Dallas Cowboys draft. Next time I'll be sure to make it clear that on a Cowboys board discussing Cowboys draft picks that I do in fact mean the Cowboys.

I'm talking about the current hole at Left Guard, not Tackle, so bringing up Asim Richards in no way helps.

 

[Shane612]

What's his record against the Giants?

Something like10-2. Couldn't that also mean he's due for a loss?
Beside, isn't football a team sport? That what I keep hearing.

 

[Pass2Run]

Brandin Cooks, Lamb, Gallup, Tolbert, Vaughn, Pollard. I think we're in for a surprise with the WCO style plays. We shouldn't be dependant upon a line that blocks for 5 seconds each play. 2 seconds and its out.

Plus, nobody said Tyler isnt playing yet..

 

[America's Cowboy]

I am not as concerned about the defense....i think they will be able to shut the giants down, but the offense needs to score at least 20 points. Can't expect the D to get two pick 6 and a fumble recovery for a TD. Dak needs to show us why they are paying him all this money, besides "that's the market for a starting QB"..

Dak can't do much if the Oline doesn't do their job. The Oline is key for our Offense to succeed.

I agree that Asim should not be viewed as a Guard at least this year. I think Chuma and Bass would be fine. Bass played LG in college. If anything, I would think RG would be foreign to him compared to LG

It's called scheme. Think of it as one of the wood blocks that is a square shape and you try to put it in a round hole.

scheme is a philosophy. philosophies should be flexible. offensive lines tend to work well when the guy can handle his assignments and make the team better. That's what OCT's college tape & training camp prove.

 

[McKDaddy]

Clarification for you. Nobody in the Cowboys Front Office wanted Ocyrus Torrence

Clear enough?

can you say that with 100% certainty?

 

[Shane612]

In all seriousness, I'd feel better going into this possibly bad weather game with Zeke.

Why, did Zeke specialize in bad weather?

 

[Shane612]

The whining is incessant with this fan base.

Try other team's forum.
They're worse, especially when they're talking about the Cowboys.

No Tyler Smith

A washed up stiff Tyron Smith , hobbling about .

Edoga is absolute gar - bage.

We neglected the offensive line from the draft until today and now it’s biting us in the groin- like a snake .

Ignorance abound - trading for 3rd string QB’s - ignoring a massive hole on the left side.

Not making one solid move to add a veteran.

Giants are licking their chops .

29-12

Bass is the play but we’ll go Edoga - stupidly.
A Jets castoff

Need a tissue, ** has an xtra as well.
This is a healthy roster other than the entire left side of the OL, why are you so overly sensitive about this?

 

[McMicah]

can you say that with 100% certainty?

I think they had a 3rd round grade on him or something. I thought I heard that on the closing draft show or one of the podcasts. The reasoning was because they viewed him as ‘maxed out’, similar to that TE everyone thought was gonna go first and then didn’t go until later.

Time will tell. I watched that clip up of Torrence and he looks pretty good, but not really all that different from Bass. I think he’s a little stronger than Bass, but Bass did combo blocks better

Asim looked better at Left tackle.

If Kellen Moore were your OC you'd likely be right. I expect we play fast, lots of rub routes, TE plays, and run hard. Control the clock, and play smart. Our defense should roast their offense.

 

[The Fonz]

If the Cowboys win it is great if not it is not a big deal
the season is too long just enjoy it

 

[805BoysInBlue]

I wonder how they feel about passing up on that guard now
