Offensive linemen must avoid playing flag football

To rate the Cowboys offensive line, one needs perspective.
Sometimes they are dominant, leaving a trail of would- be tacklers behind them. Sometimes they leave a trail of yellow flags behind them.
The Cowboys average 5.9 yards per carry, best in the NFL and they are 9th in passing average(259.4 ypg) This is due to their offensive line.
The O-line is responsible for 15 of Dallas' 37 penalties and Flozell Adams has 7.
Flozell Adams will take on John Abraham on Sunday who has 87 career sacks.
The Cowboys can live with penalties that are the result of aggressive play, like holding. Its the pre-snap penalties that are killers.
Dallas linemen average about 327 pounds. They move well in spite of their size which is why the Boys use the shotgun so much.
