You can only do so much with what you have. Dallas went the entire season without seeming to have a clear idea of who their best five offensive linemen were. They can’t let that happen again next season.
He probly pads up and shows them in person. I think he cut the penalties down when he took over. Haven’t looked at the stats..
Should have been given the pink slip the day after the season ended. I feel OL is a unit you do not have to have number one draft picks all over to be adequate. Coaching can make a major difference and coach up athletes who have some kind of talent. Dallas best OL did not have any No1's....made up mostly of misfits, free agents, middle round picks. They just have to mesh as a unit and know their own responsibilities and blocking schemes. Play to their strengths and minimize their weaknesses. Eliminate mistakes or keep them to a minimum. Can't be making the same mistakes over and over, evidence of a dumb player.
Philbin, while not a great as Callahan, was good here last year. Think about how he was able to help Steele get better. The year before Steele was hot trash. Steele, and his improvement,might be the largest leap I have seen any player make in 1 offseason. Lets give Philbin his due. The real issue is, we have the left side of the line that is subpar, starting with Tyler B(shouldn't be starting), Williams(holds nearly every play), and Tyron...he has slowed and is hurt every year. Not the same guy he was 4 years ago.Is all that Philbin's fault? He can only coach the guys he is given. I'm fine with him.We better draft a LT...and get a center.
BTW..Collins is fat and out of shape still. He may be washed up as a starting RT. I would move him to starting LG and leave him. He can play another 5 years at a fairly high level if we make the change.I think he can be a pro bowler at LG.
the same way his buddy Mike Nolan was ousted ... same manner his buddy Philibin should be too. .. this is all the more reasons why McCarthy maybe wasn't the idea fit it was intially thought to be ..
He and Jerry had fun at their sleepover in Jerry's mansion. Plus, Mike (claimed he) watched every game from 2019 (to get the job). He's also got a SB ring. Sure, no head coach has ever won a SB for two different teams but he and Jerry are gonna make history.
Someone should have warned him the Green Bay blocking "technique" doesn't work in Dallas, you'll only get flagged here. Seriously, he needs to go.
Has anyone thought as people throw coaches off a Cliff sometimes it’s the roster. Other then Zack Martin not one linemen on this team could thrive in a SB environment. Whenever we came up against a quality D Line the running stopped and # 4 was running for his life.
The bonus of Columbo is that he's unlikely to think he has the magic scheme to "fix" two All Pros. Let the oline do what they do best. This shouldn't be hard.
Yea. But he wasn't on the field. I assume he has been good somewhere. Otherwise why would our brilliant management and staff have hired him.
Nobody is nasty on the line.Where are Erik Williams,Larry Allen, even Ronald Leary type mean, nasty mauler type players.Martin and Tyron are great, don’t get me wrong, but I want some nasty attitude on the Oline.
