We all have talked about how bad of a pass blocking unit this is... But it's gone 110 pass attempts without yielding a sack.
Maybe we need to upgrade them a little.

I remember Newman catching Randy Moss from behind.

This has always been a better pass blocking line than run blocking.
Whenever we line up and just run the football without the trickery of draws and delays, we are laughably bad. We get dominated week in and week out.
It's to the point where now everybody's praising the line after averaging 3.7 yards a carry on Sunday.
~flush~ and start over.

They can win with a 3.7 ypc average.

You should watch some more games mate.
Happened out in Oakland.
No it didn't.
The only way that's possible is if Moss is slowing down to make a catch or Newman has an angle.
Because there is no way in hell Newman would just run him down from behind in a foot race.

They can win with a couple of turnovers a game too.
But both are bad. And both are something you have to overcome.
If you're praising your line after that performance, you probably have a giant sack of shat along the offensive line.

Yes he did.
"In the loss at Oakland (10/2), made the defensive play of the game, catching Randy Moss from behind at the Dallas seven-yard line to save a touchdown and force a Raiders field goal."
This comes from the extremeskins.com archives...

I'd have to see the supposed play to see what happened.
Don't tell me Newman is as fast on a football field as Randy Moss.

The NFL average is historically right around 4.0 ypc, so 3.7 isn't that far off. Plus this is a pretty wicked passing attack.
Wasn't it Parcells who said he didn't give a shat what the ypc average was? One of his SB winners only averaged like 3.6 ypc for the entire season.
Remove, Marion "I dance behind the LOS because I like to" Barber and you'll see an improved ypc average for the team.

So it's below average?
Which would be.....bad?
And we're happy with it?
Way to prove me right.
BTW, .3 of a yard is pretty substantial in terms of per carry stats. That probably drops you 7 or 8 spots in the rankings.
I agree with that. The all timer is saying run it regardless of the success. I think that's true because it helps the passing game and also protects the QB.
But now ask Parcells if 3.7 per carry is something you should be happy and content with. Ask him if that's something he'd try to improve.
True only because of Felix's big play potential. He'd go for 1, 2, 1, 3, then 60 and inflate the average based off of his own ability.
I think Barber dances mainly because his blockers suck and he has to.
I know if I ran behind this line I'd have no faith whatsoever in their ability to open up lanes for me.

Roy did well. I can praise the guy when he does right. However, I'm not ready to stand in line and drink the Kool-Aid on Roy just yet. I've seen it before: just when you think he's turned the corner, he reverts.
Roy just needs to keep doing what he has the last game. When either Witten and Austin are not doing so well, this is where and what he needs to do.

Or when the coverages dictate it's Roy's day, run the routes correctly and catch the football.
Austin was fine on Sunday. They just decided to take him away and it left Roy and Dez the freedom to make plays.
With this offense, just look at the overall numbers at the end of the game rather than individual performances. Romo had no problem throwing the football, despite the fact his lead receiver caught 2 balls for 20 yards. That's a good sign.
