The Offensive line

Is it too much to ask from this offensive line  

 Is it too much to ask from this offensive line to build on the way it played as a unit in the fourth quarter last week against Washington. We've seen small snippets this year of this Offensive lines potential dominance.  

Is it too much to ask from this Offensive line to play with more consistency in the running game getting the push up the middle and keeping out of the third and long from which this team finds itself in too many times.  

Is it too much to ask from this Offensive line, one of the biggest in the league, to play with more focus,intensity, urgency, toughness and HEART and start setting the tone early in games and imposing their will on defenses  

Is it too much to ask this from this Offensive line to play with more discipline and stop taking the numerous penalties every week, especially Flozell Adams with his weekly false start penalties  

Is it too much to ask from this offensive line to start to play up to its potential and start setting the tone for the rest of this team. For me, this offense is all about the offensive line, this is a power running team, not a finesse or throwing team. Controlling the clock by establishing a consistent power running game to set up  play action and staying out of all these third and long is the key to this teams success and will keep our defense fresh and off the field. Trying to throw the ball all over the field more and trying to get it into the hands of T.O more is IMO, getting away from this teams strengths of a ball control power running team.  

Can this offensive line put it all together today, building on how well this Offensive line played in the fourth quarter last week, I don't know, it's frustrating watching this team at times every week, they're so inconsistant along this line. They just need to start playing better now, impose their will and dominate the line of scrimmage early in games, hopefully that starts this week...Is it too much to ask???

dood...for those who been blasting Flozell

he’s the best olineman this year according to KC JOyner when Romo goes back and throws the ball vertically.

This team has a chance...

Not a great one, but a chance nonetheless.

It must set aside the divisive things and the distractions and focus completely on TEAM.

this is krazy

Flo has been much better in pass protection, but Romo’s mobility help’s everyone look better

The OL really needs to step up

in the last 4 games of the season as all 4 games are going to be hard fought, defensive battles, almost carbon copies of the Skins game at FedEx.

Well, maybe just Ptt, GMen and Balt as I see the Eagles maybe packing it in the last game. lol

In Romo we Trust
