Connor McGovern speaks on differences from Dallas OL coaching and Bills OL coaching

[nightrain]

McGovern is a decent player. I think the Cowboys should have held on to him. The OL depth in Dallas is razor thin.

 

[MikeB80]

Who are your sources? An article posted 4 hours ago said they still did not know the extent of his injury and the HC McDermott said he wasn't sure when McGovern would be back. I can't find any articles saying that he will only be out 4 weeks max. All articles are saying the same thing, it is not known how long he will be out.

a person I follow who is a bills fan and has a friend on the inside of the building said yesterday it is not serious and it is a grade 1 sprain.

also if you pay attention to the bills writers like I do they all said he just bumped knees and then stayed on the sidleline the rest of practice yesterday. he didn't even get medical attention or leave the field.

I mean our OLine is probably the best group on the team for over a decade.

 

[Qcard]

kinda funny how YOU are the one bringing it up.

Probably like...1 or two trolls said it. FIRE UP THE CRUSADE CANONS!

 

[Coogiguy03]

They score a lot because their QB, WRs and TEs are absolutely elite.

They are middle of the pack .. I’ve seen most reports have them around 20.

Amen

 

[FVSTONE]

well they've tried to fix it this year, so we'll see

After two preseason games it doesn't look like it's working for the O-Linemen who have been lining up. Jacksonville and Seattle *****ed slapped the O-Line the last couple of games.

I was one of the few staunch Connor Williams supporters around here but who needed to be moved to Center. Many bashed me, especially @CowboyRoy. Connor Williams got let go. Went to Miami. Miami's much smarter Oline coach saw what I saw, trained Connor Williams at Center during training camp 2022, and everyone saw Connor Williams finish 2022 as a Top 3 Center by season's end.

I didn't know he would be a probowl center but he wasn't the dog meat many claimed. Since Mike has been here I think the OL coaching has been pretty bad.

 

[CowboyRoy]

1. What he stated had nothing to do with the offensive line play. It was for coaching technique. The line still could of played very well with Philbin not getting into the fine tuning.
2. Biadasz and Steele saw improvement the last two years. Coincidence, a mix of both, or they improved under Philbins coaching? Don't know, but it's not like the line regressed over the few years. Cowboys have let guys like Williams, Collins and McGovern walk/cut over the years and their replacements did well. Smith did an admirable job being thrown into the fire at LT his rookie year.
3. Players like Tyron Smith and Martin are HOF vets and I doubt any coach really needs to fine tune those guys. Last guy who tried to do that got fired halfway during the season, in Paul Alexander.
4. For all the hype McGovern is giving Kromer, the Bills struggled last year under Kromer's first year and guys like Spencer Brown just had a down year the entire year.

Ironically McGovern is competing with Torrence the 2nd round guard we passed on that many of us wanted.

No he isn't. He was the starter at left guard from day one. Torrence is the starting right guard.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Well whatever. Those two guys are competing for two of the guard spots. Wasnt sure which one.

Is Torrence starting?

Is Torrence starting?

yes. He has been great in the preseason and they love him. Ryan bates was initially splitting reps with him but they basically made him the swing interior guy getting a lot of work at center.

Who Mcgovern or Torrence?

Who Mcgovern or Torrence?

torrence. he is locked in as the right guard and sent ryan bates to be the swing guy on the interior

He fell into our laps and they blew it.
