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.

      This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY.

      The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.

      I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
