Tony Sparano appreciation post......
Just wanted to recognize the work he has done this year transforming this offensive line after most fans wanted to run him out of town with pitch forks and torches last season. The single biggest difference between this season and last is the offensive line play. Reiff is a pro bowler this year, Elflein is the best rookie center in the league, and Remmers has had a revival this season. Easton has gone from career backup to a really solid starting guard. This offensive line is physical and moves people off the ball. Great job Coach Sparano!!
Dak Prescott has been sacked more today than Case has been sacked all season
Kudos to Coach Sparano. It's nice to see his hard work play off. It's fantastic to see this OL grow together and have so much fun together. And to have such great protection for the qb is awesome.
I'm going to recognize Spielman, he saw the problem (finally) got rid of the problems and it's working out. Sparano is doing a good job, but he was here last year as well.
Shurmur needs some credit to for play calling.
What's even more crazy is these guys did not play a single snap together until the season opener and have progressively improved as the weeks have gone on. To me coaching has a lot to do with that. Big test next week against the Rams.
S hit show last year, Sparano didnt have a chance.
Sure coaCh deserves some credit, but I believe players make the coaches in the NFL. Kudos to RS as Bolstad said.
Rick for getting the players.
Shurmur for design of the offense.
Sporano for executing Shurmur's plan.
So, where is Norval these days? Did he take a 7 step drop into retirement? B)
I want to say Rieff has been a huge add...And Buddy The Elflein...attitude shift is palpable...these guys are getting after it...they move well...Berger had a couple great blocks...

Some members were lighting this guy up last year. Can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit.
I never lit Sparano up but I was one member who complained about him, primarily because the O-line last year was definitely worse than Davidson's last year, which was downright woeful...I thought the bottom of the barrel had been established that season but then we had last season...
I will gladly chomp on some crow. Give Tony some NFL caliber linemen and he can get it done. This unit has been the very best surprise of our season.
Seeing some of those sideline shots of Tony yesterday, the stress has gotten to him. Looks about 50lb's heavier. Needs to mix in a salad here or there - take care of his ticker.
