Connor McGovern is terrible

[blueblood70]

Was he though? The drop-off of the line when Martin was not there was massive.

Maybe some think he was okay because so much of the rest of the line was so terrible with 3rd and 4th stringers half the time?

because in 2020 martin was nt the only player missing we had 11 different line combos over 16 games nearly all the starters were missing most of those games..the unit failed didnt look bad at RG

 

[cowboyec]

i wouldnt say he's terrible but i expected much better.

 

[cowboyec]

helluva full-back tho.

 

[Acceptablename]

That's trouble. Why have an incompetent backup?

thats the condition on most teams so so back ups
The pre- FA NFL is long gone

 

[blueblood70]

When you come in for a guy that gets benched, and they decided to go back to him after seeing you, thats usually a good indication that you are pretty bad. Regardless, its pretty clear what the Cowboys think of him

maybe at LG but not RG...same with Steele at LT vs RT some players ply better at different spots.sorry stop omitting facts. they cut Cwill kept CM well there you go that the clarity you need? not saying f CM is the answer but there's time to answer it..

Yet, when Martin was there at RG, even with all the other trash, it improved a ton.

The difference between the two was gigantic. So, either Martin was other worldly, or McGovern just wasn't all that great. Considering 2021, the latter seems far more likely.

They didnt cut Williams. He was a FA

Dude is a road grader of a FB and need to leave him in the backfield

For 1 play every two weeks! Dumb.

He sucks get a backup that can actually backup at G!

 

[Ranched]

....and so is Trysten Hill!

 

[john van brocklin]

He come out as a high floor/low cieling player, and he has been in the NFL for three years. Very unlikely he improves

Probably right
Is he worth keeping on the team?

 

[speedkilz88]

Ya if he starts taking steroids

Worked for Hopkins.

 

[Kingofholland]

Lol, there's nothing wrong with having McGovern as a backup guard. I'm not losing sleep over McGovern, I'm more worried about Biadsz, Steele, and Tyree Smith's development.

 

[RonWashington]

If we go into the year with him as the backup guard

And they bought a FB from the Bears unwanted free agents ….not even gimmick plays are in the future for route 66

LOL it was a joke. Having said that I have no problem with him being on the roster as a backup and get reps playing FB punching holes for anyone taking the ball out of the backfield.

 

[FVSTONE]

Im more worried about terrance steele

Why? I think the kid is on the right track!

 

[buddahjoe445]

Tyler Smith to LG, McGovern and Steele should battle for RT. Center should be up for grabs too

 

[Hennessy_King]

Why? I think the kid is on the right track!

He's still just a guy. average at best.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Just because you have faith in a scrub don't start whining because others think he has no hope.

You mean like your whinnng?

 

[BourbonBalz]

Three years in the NFL for high floor guy. He is what he is at this point.

When you get your chance because someone gets benched, and then after seeing they decide to go back to him, thats pretty damning

He was injured during his entire rookie season.

He is fine in a backup role. You can’t have starter quality backups at all positions. What I am concerned about is the front office being stupid enough to roll with him as the week 1 starter if Tyler Smith can’t win the job. McGovern was a serious problem in his handful of starts last year. Quite simply not an NFL caliber starter.
