Yep, it's the LG's fault. Good Lord......
He's a turnstile and he's completely overmatched against most DTs. Between him and Freddy falling off its a problem.
This is the player you gave up Earl Thomas for, yes?
I was thinking the same thing, except Looney should be playing C at least part of the game. Fred is getting pushed back too.Why the hell Looney isn’t starting in his spot is beyond me........

Would rather have Earl, especially since the cowboys are literally letting 25 million dollars sit in the bank right now..... (can't whine about Earls' contract when we have the money even with us extending 4 high dollar players this off season)Sure...... That and the 55 mil plus contract.

Ding Ding spot on man. We aren’t saying go back to Lienhan offense but having a steady running game will keep the team from Blitzing as often as they do. If you slow down the pass rush little bit even with injuries on OL the passing game will be far more effective.
There an oblivious franchise/front office so of course they won't complain.Cowboys didn't feel that way and I haven't heard them whine about it once
At worst, I think Williams is the best Swing Tackle option this team has had in years. I don't love him as a RT, long term, but I think he could do a serviceable job there if need be, for a short stretch. I like him a lot more at LT and I even think he could probably do a nice job there. I think that's his natural position. Having said all of this, lets don't get crazy. Williams in in his second year guys. This kid is 22 years old. He's not what he will be when he's 25. I think it's very short sided to just give up on this kid, at this stage. Especially based off of no real data. I don't believe that Williams has played as poorly as a lot of people suggest but it's here nor there. We need to develop this kid and not be in such a hurry to off him IMO.
And that would be too bad, as that’s an expensive 2nd round pick to end up a mere swing tackle option.
But if Williams is playing like this by season’s end, and McGovern is everything he is advertised to be by end of next year’s camp, I’m all for opening up that competition – Conner vs Conner.
I’m not voting for Filo replacing Williams either. I won’t even bother with Looney over Fredrick, even if It’s a different version than in the past.
Filo’s lack of agility, endurance would eventually expose him and here comes the whiff blocks ,even more Williams.
He's a LT that the team drafted to be a LG. That's the problem. You can say it's on him but he was never a LG IMO. Is that the fault of Williams? He's in his second year and he has to be developed. I would not have gone this way with him but that wasn't my call. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that the problem is not the LG. You can start Su'a-Filo but I don't really think it solves the problem.
That's just my opinion.
I don't disagree that he's not a G. If they want to try him as a swing tackle, i'm all for it b/c he sure as heck can't play G. Zach Martin was also a Tackle in college and he adapted to G like a fish to water. It should be an easier position. Connor just doesn't have the lower body to move anyone. He's got no power base.
The entire team should be benched.
Another game another game killing penalties by this mediocre overhyped player. He should be benched immediately.
