Twitter: Connor Williams to have knee surgery

[TheMarathonContinues]

Man mcgovern being out sucks he could have started this year

They wouldn’t have let him. They were gonna start Connor to justify his draft selection.

 

[CWR]

Will it really matter by then?

Yes it will, we arent going to go easily.

 

[Floatyworm]

That is Frederick's assignment. It should not have been a difficult block for Frederick.

LOL...You have no idea what a combination block is....

But go ahead...blame Frederick. Just his reaction should tell you he was livid he got hung out to dry by Conner's mistake.

Best news I've heard all year. Gives people hope...

 

[Verdict]

He’s IR for year.

Isn’t he eligible for return?

 

[Cebrin]

The more I watch and see the play the more it looks to me that Frederick got beat off the line. The Vikes called the perfect play as they were slanting right. You can see Conner heading to the second level to get the MLB (#54) which looks like his assignment from the snap.

There are plenty of other plays to highlight Williams getting manhandled, but I don't think this is one of them.

Yup, he bumped, and went for the LB. Inside was late to come over, and finish the block.

It won’t. This team loses anytime 1 person is injured. We can’t adapt to injuries.

Not last year, the run game took off when Williams got hurt.

Take your time big dummy.

That is Frederick's assignment. It should not have been a difficult block for Frederick.

The DT is to the left of Frederick and the play is to the left as well. No way for Frederick to make that cut off if Williams doesn't block him back into until Frederick can engage and control.

The play is to the left and DT lines up well to the Left of Frederick. He has no angle to make a cut off.

I find the timing of all this very amusing. Everybody trying to save face on this one. I'm not buy this "injury" for one second. Pretty bad that a team can no longer come out w/ the truth....and just own up to making the wrong decision to start this clown in the first place. Now we can get back to the season....and start running the football again.

Connor Williams will have surgery on his knee Tuesday but the hope is he will be able to return after a few weeks. Xavier Su'a-Filo will likely move into the left guard role, which is how the Cowboys handled Williams' absence last year because of a knee scope.

Todd Archer, ESPN Staff Writer

Thank God. Maybe our O-line will be decent again.

 

[RoboQB]

To me, it looks like the guard is supposed to chip and move to the next level.

Williams didn't help Frederick much with a lazy hand tap for a chip.
Frederick looks slow getting to his spot. It's a reach block, not the easiest
block for a center.

It was mentioned in the broadcast that Williams could've done more to help
his center. Also, it makes since as to why Frederick was upset on the sideline.

I wish Dak ran more during games. It would've set up a nice jump pass in the RPO
in place of handing off to Zeke who had been stuffed all day with his longest run
being 6 yards.

 

[TwentyOne]

Filo will fill in.

Just sharing the info with you all.

Oh well. I’m not expecting much drop-off.

Great image. Do you know what this image says? It says our OL got blown the hell off of the line on a RUNNING play. On a running play the OL are supposed to be going forward not backwards like they do on a passing play. Every single OL is behind the LOS. Except wonder boy Williams who needed to be helping Frederick more. WOW.

 

[Keithfansince5]

It won’t. This team loses anytime 1 person is injured. We can’t adapt to injuries.

Like pulling the wrong card on a house of cards game.

 

[fansince68]

The best news all week. Can we sit Fredbeard too. He has quietly sucked all season due to the focus on C Williams.

 

[TruBluSince1982]

Looney earned the spot. Heal my friend soon.

Williams needed to do more than chip, he needed to block until Frederick could fully engage. Play was moving to the left and Frederick was to the right. He's got no angle to cut off the defender.

That is Frederick's assignment. It should not have been a difficult block for Frederick.

Unfortunately Frederick aint the player he once was, probably never will be the same before his illness.

Eatman and Helman were talking about this on The Break.
