This comment: "Gotta think they’ll give Joe Looney a chance, played really well in Travis Fredrick’s absence last year", is why XSF got his chance... he played really well last year while Williams was out

Either way, we're doomed. Our LG position is just the weak spot of the O-line. We have to face the facts.

XSF was brutal

I dont know why they don't give Looney a shot






Well the video don't lie but I was referring to pass blocking since we all knew his run blocking was suspect to begin with. Either way both of these guys need some help.

The narrative that XSF was worse in pass-pro last year was true.
I guess we'll see what happens with XSF when he goes against pass rushing DTs.

Right. I expected we would see improved run blocking and worse pass blocking with him in there based off last year's performance. That wasn't the case last Sunday.

He said "Watching Xavier Su’a-Filo play, it’s obvious the #Cowboys run game greatly misses Connor Williams." Uh what happened to the run game when Connor last played? He's acting like Connor is Larry Allen in his prime, I couldn't tell a noticeable difference in the oline play.

His run score was slightly below Williams season average but his pass protection score was higher than Williams has ever scored in his entire career (pretty funny since I'm pretty sure the narrative was XSF better against the run but worst in pass protection and the Lions game was the complete opposite :eek:)

Yeah this a narrative that started out of nowhere, Williams is starting due to draft position only.

Man, hyperbole on here is awful. "Acting like he is Larry Allen in his prime", no he said they miss William's in the run game since XSF missed assignments left and right.

Run game with XSF against the 24th ranked rush defense: 75 yards
Run game with William's in the remaining games: 138.2 rushing yards

Almost double

We don't expect casual fans to notice difference a at a particular position along the OL. Doesn't mean there wasn't one.

I was so stoked for Sunday. Everything seemed to be aligning.

Now all I can hear is Stephen A ringing in my ear now...
"What can go wrong..."


But glad you're better buddy.
