Good bad and ugly for all who would like to know more on our replacement.
Interesting and good analysis.
Although I laughed at the one clip where he's busting Filo's footwork compared to Smith's and yet it's Smith who get destroyed for a sack and Filo walls off Brandon Graham.
Lol I noticed that too. But filo is probably one of the first olineman ive seen thrown off balance and then go solid strong stationary so quick.
Guy is strong!
Maybe I'm seeing something that isn't there. But when Xavier's assignment is to block to his right or pull to his right, he stance seems to have a pretty serious tell. He drops his right shoulder slightly and his elbow rest just on the inside of his leg. It looks like he's preparing as he takes his stance for his first step to the right.
Is he actually doing that or am I seeing things because I recognize he has poor feet?
The first play, the bad pass from Dak where he waited too long to throw it to Gallup............... Filo essentially hog tossed Fletcher Cox aside. Impressive.
There's no question Williams is lighter on his feet, possesses better footwork and is more athletic. But I wonder, for what we are trying to do now switching back to Columbo as OL coach, Filo doesn't work better (even with his flaws) than Williams.
I am in the small camp that long term, I think the better OL is with Williams at RT and Collins at LG anyway.
So basically:
Filo is hella strong enough to recover from lack of footwork or positioning and gets the job done.
Williams gets in position but still gets overpowered some and if out of position is not strong enough to recover.
Yeah, I can't see a negative there at all. He never got beat one on one and that's Fletcher Cox he's holding off, coming in off the street.Interesting and good analysis.

For all those asking what we want out of Dak, the play at 11:00 shows what Dak needs to study.
He backed right into the sack. If he steps up to his right, he's clean for another second to throw the ball. He does this way too often. He played well overall this week, but these little movements in the pocket are a great area for him to work on.

To sum up Su'a-Filo:
It may sometimes look ugly, but it gets the job done.
