Starting Connor William's should probably worry Cowboys fans

If Connor William's starts. He is automatically the weakest link. He would be a major part of my game plan to stop the run if I'm Wade Phillip's. If seen William's get pushed into the backfield lots of times and that highly affected our run game. Suh would probaly put him on his back. Martin is going to have to play his best game with a hurt knee to allow Looney to help William's. Hopefully the offensive line will come ready for WHATEVER is thrown at them in the run and passing game.

I think how well the Cowboys interior OL holds up is the linchpin for this game (though I'm more worried about it disrupting the passing game than the rushing game).

If having Williams means Cowboys have a better passing game, what's his risk if Williams and SuaFilo have the same sack percentage? Is he just more prone to getting pushed back and then he runs into Elliott?

Listening to Brodus and the gang the consensus is that Donaldson although very powerful is more likely to beat you with speed. They seem to believe CW is better suited to protect Dak Tom night.

Pass blocking is clearly better with Williams out there.

Su’a FILO has been atrocious the last 3-4 games he played. He straight up doesn’t know who to block on 2/3 of the passing plays. A rush man basically goes unblocked.

2.61 seconds on average to pass? *** that has to be one of the lowest in the last decade.

By my untrained eye, Williams had his best game of the season in the wild card playoffs.

Even Troy Aikman mentioned Williams' block on the long Dak run that sealed the victory.

Would not doubt that since he hasn't been playing much the latter half of the season, Conner is much healthier and fresher than a lot of the defenders he is going against now. I'd imagine that would be a huge boon and a likely reason why his play might be much better last game and hopefully going forward than it was earlier.

Su'a Filo is not a good football player.

Su'a-Filo is stronger and more experienced than Williams, but it's all upper body. He tends to lunge and slide off his blocks and struggles to redirect.

Williams has exceptional balance and technique; as he was a tackle at Texas. Once he develops his body and gets more functional strength he will be the Cowboys' next great o-lineman.
