If Cam had Romo's protection...

Cam gets that protection at times...and when he does, he often excels.

The problem is consistency in pass protection and the fact that the Cowboys have a consistent run game as well to compliment it and give Romo good chances down field.

We don't need Romo's line. We need Romo's offensive coordinator. Or really ANY offensive coordinator worth a damn.

lol oh how we forget. I can remember not too long ago when Dallas had the absolute worse o-line in the NFL. Took them at least 4 years to get it where it is today. Did you miss the short segment on Romo's surgery history?

 

We'll get there. But, yeah, 3 seconds at least, consistently, would be sweet.

Think about it. The Cowboys have invested heavily in their O line. Their recent string of first round offensive linemen include Tyron Smith (2011), Travis Frederick (2013), and Zach Martin(2014). They had the cap space, draft position, and playmakers who were already for these behemoths and we simply haven't had those.

Somebody gets it. The Packers and Cowboys have invested in their offensive talent therefore they expect to get a return on said investment.

 

The Panthers have not invested in our offensive talent, yet the Huddle can't figure out why we can't score more than 14 points.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
