Be "right" on someone else's time. You've simply proven that you're merely infatuated with your dedication to worshipping yourself.

Here you are keep relying Anatoly the last word.lMAO.

Sounds like someone wants to be right but evidence is stacked against his so he gets super defensive

Got it....

Can’t win to see 52 next game... it will haunt you in your dreams you cant be a GM or coach..

Sounds like you just can't handle anyone having an opinion that differs from your own. Too bad your overinflated ego can't accept that scenario. I have no desire to be a GM nor coach. I'm content, instead to have an opinion that I'm entitled to. It's a sad sign of insecurity that you can't handle it.

Connor Williams is a quality G.

Either that or a backup -- there are no guarantees with a FA. We'll see.

With how think OL's are across the league, someone will pay him to start

CowboyRoy said:

4 penalties? Lol

9 penalties all year? At this rate he will break the record for penalties.

Your hero looks terrible.

easily the weakest link on the line. McGovern needs to replace him.

And look at Biadasz handling his business and getting better and better.

Ill be honest, Im a bit concerned McGovern hasnt beaten him out. Either he isnt very good, or the staff doesnt recognized/wont play better talent. Either way thats not good

I think McGovern limits the types of blocking schemes they can run. Maybe he can do it but they know CW can. The pulling etc is partly physical part mental. McGovern is definitely capable of physically handling an assignment straight up over him. Next year we will have no choice unless they extend CW which I doubt.

You seem to be a fan devoted to your own comforting, self promoting fantasy of being in a world devoted to your personal agenda. In truth, I'm not one who shares in your ideas of being in the majority. The inner workings of those empowered to run the Dallas organization will be revealed in the upcoming months and perhaps even years, when many upcoming decisions will be forthcoming. One of them will be to decide what to do with Connor Williams.

I'm looking forward to the bye week for the good of this Dallas Cowboys team to be served. You seem to prefer thinking of me as an outsider, which is only a delusion suited to you and your dreams of representing the majority and being "right." Respect of the opinions of others don't appear to be in your wheelhouse. I respect your opinion, despite our differences.

Good luck with your being "right" -- like it or not, it's something not fostered by those with a real sense of humility. I've long been a respectful supporter of the Cowboys staff and have no inclination to oppose them. I'm confident they'll act in the best interest of the team in the long run. I surely don't put myself in any position of authority above them. Let's be clear on that. I hope we both end up being upbeat about the future of this team going forward. I mean that.

Williams penchant for stupid penalties is problematic. Penalties are no different than him giving up a 10-yard sack. It’s literally the same, so to lead the league in offensive flags is an issue.

Well except for the whole loss of down thing.

Yes, that is a big of a mystery.

Same with Cox and Smith …… night and day difference with Cox on the field. Just proves ability isn’t top consideration for snaps.

This coaching staff didn't draft Connor Williams.

There is no reason they would favor him over McGovern for any reason other that they believe CW is the best option.

There is no reason that ownership would favor CW over McGovern. One was a 2nd round pick and one was 3rd round pick.

You didn't list the other possibility:
- That McGovern is a quality player but Connor Williams is a better player.

I think Jabril Cox has a high upside and he flashed on many plays in the preseason.

The only player that I wanted them to cut prior to this season was Jaylon Smith.

Having said that:

Jabril Cox has played 9 snaps on defense.

There is no way as a fan to know how well Jabril Cox would perform at LB in real NFL games.

On the play that the Giants QB got a concussion, Cox was not even playing LB. He replaced a DB on that goalline play.

• The 11 players on D for that snap:
  • LB Vander Esch
  • LB Parsons
  • LB Neal
  • Safety Kearse
  • 6 hand-down DLinemen
  • Jabril Cox

In the preseason, Jabril Cox flashed as many good plays as anybody on defense.
- However, he also had more negative plays per snap than any other player on defense.
- He obviously has the required physical ability.
- He is obviously good in coverage.
- His limitation in college and in the preseason was run defense.
- He looked OK physically in run defense in the preseason;
- The problem is that he made a huge number of mental mistakes in run defense.

Agreed.

Some team is going to pay him in free agency to be their starter, and likely for an amount we won’t be willing to match.

We can and should do better at the position.

The QB gets hit on a sack.

The team gets to repeat the down on a holding penalty but not on a sack.

Or another possibility: One is average and the other is below average. If you are expecting McGovern to replace Williams, that fact that he hasnt isn't encouraging. If you're a fan of Williams, thats your view. What Ive seen of him is that he is an average OG.

If you can put up with his flags, so can I -- nobody likes it, tho!

ESisback said:

I watched the video, and I agree, but I’ve seen guys push the center of our line into Dak. And WHY WHY WHY do we repeatedly fail on 4th and short? With our OL, Zeke, Pollard and big old Dak, those conversions should be CAKE!

Click to expand...

Simple numbers game. If you got 9 players crashing towards the center, you aren't going to block that up real consistent.

Nothing is cake, nothing in this league is, if a team sells out to stop it and you fly into the teeth of it.

for sure no one likes it but it happens.,., hopefully like last year zeke had 2 bad games in row 4 fumbles this place was all butthurt, he had 1 the last 8 games..so 5 in 15 games where as Dak had 7 TOs in 5 games and hes got quite few fumbles this year and handful of iNts..i guess those MISTAKES dont count? they worse then holding call, hmm id say just as bad or worse..

you giving Dak a pass, you putting up with him? i mean is he perfect LMAO..just because those dudes sometime sar eon an Island on TV easy to see their mistakes doesnt make them any different that n any player..

seriously Daks playing great but hes made some CRUCIAL mistakes in the Redzone, endzone, and gave teams a chance to stay in games ..doesnt even include some real bad passes along the way or a missed read..you get my point yet??

60snaps 3 bad plays, we can go through all 43 game day players who see the field and im betting you can easily find 2-3 mistakes. Like Diggs in NE that call the big reception in the TB game i mean i bet i can find 2-3 bad plays by diggs, parsons, how abut shultz in the Carolina game that was a case of the yips and he had drop in NE in the ez, and others every game..many are missed or forgotten ,

some fans narratives are to PICK ON certain players and it just snowballs.

If the coaches keep him a starter, hes more then competent ..that all we need to know..
