The Dallas line though benefits from Romo's escapability, and Felix Jones speed. I would not put their line as any better than ours as it stands now. Their left OT is as shaky as ours was without Samuels, they are relying on an unproven LT in Free, and a bust LT in Barron. We have an unproven rookie, but IF he doesn't pan out we can shift JBrown over, and put Hicks back at RT, that alone is a better line than Dallas'. And Dallas has overlooked their line in the draft nearly as badly as we have.
The final question mark is Rabach. Is he good enough, and he has looked bad due to the lack of talent around him, or is he just bad. If he is bad, we will need a rookie(Cook) or 2nd year guy (williams) to step up and play.
Pessimism is natural due to our recent past, but let's not give credit to other teams without looking at their flaws.

I'm not pessimistic. The truth is that our OL isn't ready to be compared to the other OL's in our division at all. Hell, it hasn't even been born yet!
Who is our RG? We think it will be Hicks but
we don't know.
Has Brown played a down with this unit yet?
No.
Has T. Williams played a down in the NFL?
No. In fact, he hasn't even signed a contract yet.
Are all of the holdovers playing in a new system?
Yes.
Have they played a down in that system yet?
No.
Etc.
I hope they'll be good but I don't know yet. And you don't know yet, either (no offense meant). Nobody knows.
