You willing to admit that with both PFF giving almost all our OL terrible pass blocking grades, as well as football outsiders saying we have the 3rd worst OL in the NFL when it comes to pass blocking..... That maybe it is an issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextyearfordaboyz Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I personally think there is a combo of the OL being a somewhat average unit right now and Dak clearly taking more sacks than necessary and not feeling the pocket all that well. Obviously when the OL was amazing, he took a lot fewer sacks. But I do think Dak has made the issue worse than it should be based on the drop in OL play alone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s dishonest to say that there hasn’t been a dropoff in the o-line play given who’s been hurt, which results in a higher sack count, and it’s equally dishonest not to admit that Quincy’s pocket awareness is utterly abysmal, which often leads to him sacking himself when he runs directly into the pass rush because he has no feel for it. And let’s not leave out the other 800 pound gorilla: Scott Linehan. His play calling has been so bad that it quite possibly (and I’d argue absolutely) has made BOTH the o-line AND Quincy perform even worse than they would if better/more efficient plays were called.

I think I would argue that everything is a bit overblown given that no team has gained more yardage than the Dallas Cowboys over the last 5 weeks. In my mind, the only thing unforgivable is the red zone offense, which falls squarely on Linehan and the coaching staff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this just more proof that a playmaker like Coop (weapon) is just what the doctor ordered. AND even more important is, DAK can be a QB of an elite offense with some help? what more do you want. Tops in offensive YDS and undefeated (more or less) since the trade. Throw in breaking an all-time record or 2 in that streak. Holy sheesh, Dak may be the hero we always wanted BUT NEVER DESERVED !!! well some of us on here.

DaBoys Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 So 60% of our goal to go snaps have come from a 3 wide shotgun set? And we have Zeke and a VERY GOOD run blocking OL... Hmmmmm....I wonder why we are struggling ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WizardHawk Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Lots of blame to go around to numerous parties. Linehan, Dak, OL issues, injuries, no #1 WR for half the season, mediocre TEs.... think we should all just accept that for any shortcomings. I'm confident there will be more changes to the offensive staff come the off season. Until then need to weather the storm and hope for a little late season magic.
