Funny video of Terry Glenn aside, I'll grant that you do have some offensive weapons, primarily receivers. TO can open things up for everyone, I agree. Unfortunately it wouldn't matter if TO is 30 yards from the nearest defender if your QB is lying flat on his back starting at the clouds.

All the offensive weapons in the world won't do jacksquat with your porous offensive line. You were ranked 4th overall last season in sacks allowed, right behind Houston, Minnesota and the New York Jets. The last time we played Dallas, Bledsoe got nailed what, 7 times?

Not to sound so cliche, but both games this season will come down to how well the Dallas offensive line does. The key to TO, or Glenn, or Fasano or Jones is not coverage in the secondary, it's pressuring Bledsoe.

I don't follow Dallas news, but have they done anything to fix the atrocious O-line?
