These guys can't pick up blocks for crap. They're horrible and they need to pull their heads out of the sand. This is frickin ridiculous.

It's Tom Cable. This line has not improved under him. Even the so called pro bowl vets make stupid pre-snap penalties. This results in long yard situations that take away Lynch and his effectiveness. When they are not doing that, they forget to block.

Totally agree. This unit is the worst, and has been bad for a while. Wilson has covered it up with his scrambling but this unit is bad, and has been bad, for a while.

How long have we been complaining about O-line issues? Its been consistently poor for awhile. Rather keep investing in O-line until its actually a strength. Especially when you have Wilson there.

Something to think about. The big difference for Dallas this year has been the play of the O-Line. When you dominate the line of scrimmage, a lot of other things become easier and the rest of the team gets elevated.

Case in point, Shaun Alexander.

I was surprised at how fast the run gaps broke down today. That's supposed to be our strength and the excuse for why they aren't good at pass pro. Add all the false starts and holding penalties on key plays and this is a REAL problem.

Most concerning to me is RWs health and development. He is typically good at taking hits to mitigate damage but he has taken some big shots this year. Is he ever going to be able to trust a pocket after spending three years running for his F-ing life??

None of this is news, just more evidence that we miss Miller and Unger...

The sad thing is ....... they added a second assistant offensive line coach this year ...... for a total of 3 coaches working with offensive line personnel.

We had NOTHING in the run game without Lynch's improvised reverse-of-field scampers and Russell's legs.

Road graders? More like Tonka trucks.
