Week 5 NYL Pass Protection Index

[Idgit]

Yeah, it's more than his legs, it has to do with his quick release also.

If anyone thinks the line has been really good at anything so far this year, they're mistaken.

You put a statue back there, we'd probably be near the bottom. Romo slides up in the pocket and side steps the rush better than anyone. He makes the line look better than what it is, IMO.

I don't agree. We made a point of getting the ball out of his hands quickly once he went down with the ribs. Against WAS, in particular, we weren't giving the OL the time to fail. But against DET, they played great against a really good front. I don't see how you can give them anything but props for their play as a unit there.

If it was as simple as protecting the line, why they hell are there teams like Chicago? Other teams can't run a system that protects the line?

To say the line has zero responsibility for this ranking is foolish.

They have to be doing something right.

1. Mike Martz.
2. See the points that Sheik made about our QB. No reason for me to repeat them.

I never said the OLine has zero responsibility in these rankings (which are what is foolish, btw). Not sure where you got that from. Obviously they'll play their part. But that part is minimal when considering our offensive system and QB.

Look, I never said they were horrible. There could be A LOT worse, I get that. But you guys are running around saying how great the OLine is when its simply not true. We are protecting them whether you want to believe it or not.

Disguising your weaknesses is the name of the game. JG and Romo are doing a great job at that.

Noone is saying the Oline is great. It has room for improvement: Tyron becoming even better, Nagy and Costa continuing to develop and Free getting his head out of his ass. If we can add a better OG or 2 and a C next year, or either Nagy/Arkin and Costa/Kowalski become those guys with more playing time, then even better.

Chicago isn't alone down there.

And Romo hasn't been moving around all that well. Not even close to what he is capable of.

Hell, Seattle and Minnesota have a more mobile QB and they're right down there too. Alex Smith is pretty mobile, he's down there.

Carolina is ranked behind Dallas.....and so is Philly.

To say Romo has been covering that much when other QBs who are INFINITELY more mobile and able to avoid the rush cannot do the same is just ridiculous.

Unless we're to believe that Garrett is such a fucking stud he's figured out how to scheme an entire offense to protect the OL........and yet somehow hasn't been able to scheme an offense to score in the Redzone.

The OL isn't stellar by any means but they're holding their own.

Being mobile does not necessarily equate to pocket elusiveness. Tavaris Jackson is probably the 2nd, or 3rd most athletic QB in the league but he has no idea how to escape a rush. He doesnt know where to go to buy himself more time.

Alex Smith is a top 5 athlete at the QB position but he all knows how to do is roll right. And many times thats not how to beat a rush. Its to step up, giving your tackle a great angle on his block. You roll right on the wrong guy and he will disengage his rush and beat you to the edge.

Listen to what you're saying...

All of those QBs are better than Romo.. Really?? lol

In order to step up, you need a pocket too, which is where the interior of the line comes into play.

Romo was getting rid of the ball in 2.5 seconds versus Detroit. He didn't need any actual pass protection, just some fat asses in front of him to make a wall. Any group of fat asses would have worked.

Is that what I said?

I thought I said they were more mobile.
