Twitter: MM says McGovern starts at LG Sunday (Clarence Hill Jr)

Reminiscent of the Rico “Future HoF” Gathers.

I'm staying grounded on this move. I don't think the difference between Williams and McGovern is as big some think. I'm all for the better player in the end. But lets wait and see how he does.

It's more of a message. It's about ending the country club attitude and telling players "Do your job right or someone else will."

Jerry has an account on here confirmed. Next we bench Dak, trade Gallup, start Pollard, and trade 3 first round picks for Carson Wentz to make @Risen Star happy.

That's not what the coach said. He said both Connors would play but not what positions. We all know McGovern has been playing a few snaps at the Jumbo formation. So if that continues and Williams plays all game at LG then what the coach said will be true.

I guess Tyron Smith is playing..this move is not because McGovern is an upgrade at LG.
This move is because of:

1. The Connor Williams holding problems that some feel he's being targeted for
2. McGovern is the future. CW is gone next year for Salary Cap reasons

Connor Williams will be a starting LG in the NFL next year for someone

Connor Williams will play special team.........

Here's who were sending to the bench..watch closely

That information wasn't addressed at MM's presser. Why are you making that up?

Williams isn't being sent to the bench. There are just a bunch of posters with agendas lying about it. MM never said Williams was being benched so don't believe the lies.

If it improves the OL, then I think it’s a good idea.

but CW isn’t a bad LG.

this is probably about 2022.

He's a solid starting guard but the penalties have been killer. Sounds like the front office thinks he's being targeted for the holding calls,
that the Refs are talking and looking for #52 before the game even begins.

 

[Techsass]

I trust the coaches.

Especially Philban

That's what has me wondering about the move. Something has kept them from using McGovern over Williams. Maybe something finally clicked & he turned a corner.

 

[DogFace]

Wow.. if true this is a monster move either way. If McGovern flops it means the coaches don't know what they're watching in practice and if he balls out it means they took 10 weeks to see what most of us saw in September.

Classic win-win

 

[charron]

Hope this doesn't limit the types of blocks the OL used to do or compromise pass blocking in anyway.

 

[J_Allen]

Thank GOD

 

[Stash]

Didn't McGovern also get a penalty in the 4th quarter last week?

He might be a penalty machine as well...who knows.

I believe the official called McGovern’s number by mistake. When I rechecked the play by play, the penalty was actually against Collins.

Killer? What game did they lose because of his penalties? Calling his penalties a killer is an overreaction. No penalties against your team are convenient but no one is perfect. He's not costing us games so I think the criticism is a bit overdone.

That wasn't my point.

yup and IDC who starts there as long as they are the best at that position on the team..that remains to be seen..theres reason it took the coaches this long to make the move.

So who's the RT if Tyron plays?

They one that weighs less than 350...
