Among the talk of backups at OT, center, .. another one watch on my list will be the battle of
the Conner wars. - If it’s much of one.
- McGovern was a 3rd round picked guy in 2019 who was thought of so highly that McClay group thought they had to have him despite that they already had former 2nd rd pick OG Conner Williams already in placed.
- Needless to say, many here seemed to have already given up on Williams, who many assumed he had pro bowl expectations.
Williams has proved (imo) to decent to serviceable but there remains the grumblings that the Cowboys Nation needed him to be more dominant, more of a difference maker in the trenches.
- McGovern missed his entire rookie year with a tricep tear.
and in his return yerar, was vaguely phased out of the rotation very early on in his 2nd year by new OL coach Joe Philibin, .. until injuries piled up and makeshift OL change had to be forced.
McGovern started some games at RG, especially with Zack Martin fighting some injuries himself as well as Zack being forced to move and start at RT over an struggling rookie Terrance Steele.
- While McGovern wasn’t dominant, but I did think he was at least adequate, considering he had zero previous live game experience and a lack of strengthening program.
- I just dunno if Philibin is really a fan of McGovern to really open up true hard fought competition to the two Conners.
