I think a lot of people think that because the Dallas OL opens up big holes in the running game (by far the best run blocking line in the league) that they are great but they have never been a top pass blocking OL so while I have no doubt the run blocking has been effected I don't believe the pass blocking has been largely affected. I think the issue stems from what's been a very basic passing offense with Elliott in the lineup require more diversity with him out of the lineup and we haven't seen much of that at all. It seems all their big passing plays come out of play action but they have to find a way to get more big plays out of passing formations with Elliot out of the lineup because defenses are not going to bite in play action when they don't respect the running game.
