An ESPN analytic stat shows just how bad our offensive line really is.

Look at the bottom half of the league…

the #1 pass O is #28 in pass block win rate 

the #6 pass O is #27 

the #10 pass O is #22 

the #3 pass O is #19  

the #9 pass O is #21 

It’s almost like we have a QB problem and OLs not holding is just the NFL to a large degree 

The oline is bad but its distracting everyone from the main problem on this team.

Any motherfugger that can at least be competent at QB and make decent decisions. 

Yeah those guys mostly already have jobs. Maybe we get lucky and Watson waives his clause for us? I doubt it though. Unfortunately the way things are going, we’re gonna be in Cleveland Browns type QB purgatory for a long ass time. I hope I’m wrong…

This is why it's hard for me to fully embrace analytics. They don't tell the whole story. According to the numbers the Cowboy o-line is just a little bit better than our in terms of pass blocking. I think we all would agree that isn't the case. But, we also know that our line doesn't hold blocks very long. It's one of the reasons why Darnold seems to always be on the run. Perhaps other teams have QB's that do a better job getting the ball out of the QB's hand in a timely manner in terms of their schemes.

What this does show us is that we do not have dependable blockers in our passing and rushing game.

Math is everything but it's not football. Any given Sunday has proven that again and again.

Yeah, that's why you FUGGING DRAFT THEM and not try to pick off bargains in the FA market (or low-cost trades who are low-cost FOR A FUGGING REASON).

Again, this ain't fugging NFL rocket science.

No doubt numbers lie and deceive at times.   But there is a lot of bad OL play week to week.  And a lot to QBs making it work.

FO DVOA rankings disagree.

We have had worse OL's than this.

Sad but true.

I told you I needed to see them play and have. They are about were ESPN has them 28-32, huge step back form last year were they ended up mid-pack(solid). Honestly small things are killing them along with just lacking talent- Snap count,  firing off the ball, missing gaps, etc. Honestly I know they play as "1"..... The "1 group" plays dumb, lost, and confused. They need better preparation in the worst way, that would help move the group to the very late teens along with having a experienced OC calling plays with OL that lacks talent.  Many times after the snap 2-3 defenders are already in the tackle box, thus Sam has jet flashbacks and gos hero ball mode....played out that way since week 4. This staffs has no answers and that is the worst part.

The issue with this staff is their incredible hubris to think they can resurrect people's careers. Just because they got more than expected out of a few players last year the staff bought into their own bullshit and decided to try to build an entire OL and raise a QB from the dead. It's insane.

    • The other draft picks have turned out pretty well. Brooks will too.
    • I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.
    • He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
