After 4 weeks the offensive line rank; after 8 weeks

[onmyown]

Offensive line is ranked slightly better than average coming in at 14/15th in the league depending on what stats you’re looking at.

Moton has been our best offensive lineman.

Putting in Little last week helped quite a bit, bumped us up a couple spots.

Paradis still struggling.

The Cowboys oline has played godly. I think following their footprint and drafting the hell out the oline is something I’d be down for.

The Cowboys with their amazing OL haven’t done anything at all since they’ve had it back in 2014. Yes it’s good to build in the trenches but having an elite OL at the expense of other positions on offense and defense is not a winning formula.

OLs don’t have records so there’s no way to rank them.  I’d say ours has been around below average since Little started playing. As good as average at times.

Middle of the pack, like most years

Cowboys o line got wrecked by the saints Sunday

I think that this stat and rank is a bit misleading since Allen took over the ball has been out of his hands quickly and he's been dodging rushers. When Cam was under center he was being harrased frequently and they gave up several sacks. Paradis has been so bad too. Middle of the pack doesn't seem right.

I'm not understanding the Paradis hate?  Coming off an injury, joining new team, new QB, new line mates.  Now he has a NEW new QB and the line keep shuffling around him.  Not to mention the guards beside him have not been great.

They are asking this guy to do some insane stuff.  He's doing what he can in this situation.  All in all he's not our worst problem.

Allen wasn't stepping up into the pocket and could've prevented pretty much all of those strip sacks had he had any pocket awareness & acknowledgement of his tackles roles. Of course, given how little experience he has, it is to be expected. But hope is that his pocket awareness gets better soon.

And well, if Daryl Williams wasn't starting weeks 1 and 2, I bet it would've helped a whole lot more too.

Should we consider giving Larsen a shot if paradis continues to struggle.  I liked the signing, but if his injury has made him unable to get back, might be worth it to give larsen a shot because he played well a few years back.

Yeah you're right about the stepping up part. Cam never does it. Allen does but sometimes he forgets.

You know, I've got to disagree here. In the Houston game, and in Arizona, I saw Allen moving around pretty wisely in the pocket: just a step here, a quick skootch over there, and he had a very good tendency to move forward rather than back pedal and get in the way of the tackles' redirect lanes. 

Most of his sacks, working from memory here, were quick hit ones, often with just a missed assignment or a half-assed block thrown.

I think the kid has excellent pocket awareness, particularly considering  his inexperience. Not to slam Cam but his approach to movement in the pocket is totally different and is more predicated on his size, strength and ability to go upfield -- things that can lead to really bad sacks when they happen (with major, major yards lost at times). Allen's smaller size and musculature makes him more of a duck and weave kind of rush avoidance, which is fine, but when caught... whabbo.

Getting the ball out quick helps any O line including teams like New Orleans who get the ball out quick.
