Dowdle. Why is he on line trying to block. 2 rushers without any resisting

I have been saying it was Davis, but it was definitely on Dowdle. He completely whiffed...however I think Davis as the personal protector should have been there to chip the rusher. He just watched and went up the middle as the guy ran past Dowdle. Pretty sucky for both. Dowdle's second huge mistake.

(Ball wasn't even on the field, @Rayman70 ... why would you say that?)

Okay, I realized I could go grab the screenshot... and yeah, Dowdle.

Yes, he completely whiffed...but Davis is supposed to the personal protector and he didn't even look to the edges, just went straight up field. Bad play by both.
Agreed. I watched it multiple times thinking he stepped and blocked the other side.

No. They both just messed up

Point well-taken.

But we'll be fine with either of them as pass protectors, of course. No worries.
:rolleyes::oops::confused:

I’m not sweating a missed assignment by some hack that likely won’t mk our ball club.

Just count off the defender from the center each way. Definitely was Dowdle's guy. PP probably figured he was blocked because they had plenty to block it up.

Haha or living the Cowboys life :) I recorded the game and started watching 30 minutes after kickoff and was locked in until the final second.
Game was blacked out in Austin, no clue why. Had to watch highlights afterwards.
