Cowboy fans thoughts on Trent Williams

[SkinsHokieFan]

I have given plenty of my thoughts on your team in several threads.

I am looking for your overall impressions of Trent Williams.

This is not a "he got away with 8 holding penalties" thread. If there were blatant Alex Barron like holds that were not called, please point to the specific play.

If not, I am just trying to get a gauge on your thoughts, seeing that many of you could also be Sooner fans.

My quick thoughts: Overall I thought he was pretty good for his first game, being left on an island against the best pass rusher in the NFL. His blocking on the Cooley screen pass was a thing of beauty and DeMarcus never got one of those kill shot momentum changing sacks. Hell, just giving up 1 sack considering the scheme is something I am very pleased with.

If you had told me in July that he would be 1 on 1 with Ware most of the night, I would have figured he'd have a Winston Justice vs the Giants night, where WJ gave up 7 sacks.

Fire away, the good, bad, ugly

I was with Shanny when he took Trent over Okung. Most people disagreed then and still do today.

I think he will be a good player though.

 

[KingintheNorth]

I wasn't that high on him before the draft and I definitely would have taken Okung over him, but he played extremely well Sunday night and looks like a legit left tackle.

How about you go away. Go back to ES and make threads about how ya'll are going to win the Super Bowl.

It's hard to say. The gameplan was to get rid of the ball quickly. McNabb's YPA was only 5.3 which ranks around Brady Quinn and Jamarcus Russell from 2009. Portis average 3.5 yds per carry and the TOP was one of the lowest in week 1. It's tough to evaluate mainly because of the gameplan. I'm not taking a shot, I just cannot tell either way.

my thoughts are that nobody overhere really gives a ****...i hope that helps

 

[zrinkill]

He is a good young tackle ...... you should be excited.

 

[Idgit]

I think he plays on a ****ty team. And he looked like a big, fat, Ronald McDonald on Sunday night.

Maaaaan I really like the way you think....

 

[SaltwaterServr]

Actually, there were two blatant holds on Trent Williams that went uncalled according to the radio this morning. I was losing reception when they came back from commercial, but one was when we had you backed up close to your own end zone. The other, I didn't hear anything about.

I think our LT played better. After that I don't give a damn

I'm not given to laugh out loud much at things I read on the internet, but this made me laugh my a** off.

Thanks for that!

**** the skins...

 

[Baileyneverfailey]

He played decently, but not great. He definitely would have been in trouble if you had been trying to throw downfield more.

Maybe you two could get your panties out of a bunch.



Anyway to the question...I was impressed by how well he played. I thought you should have taken the OSU tackle instead but Williams did look good Sunday night, for the most part.

 

[Ren]

Only Skins players that really impressed me was Landry and Orakpo , Landry wasn't very good last year so i was shocked by how well he played I already knew Orakpo was good before you drafted him and forced me to hate him forever.

Kinda hard to judge anyone on your offense because your offense didn't do anything, Ware had a damn good first half of that game and he was mostly lined up over Williams, however Ware only had 1 sack going against him and you'd expect a rookie to get absolutely abused lining up across from Ware

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Looked alright. He's certainly got the athleticism, but his technique has a long ways to go. Didn't do much in the run blocking game for the most part.

Ware got a sack but didn't run circles around him, so I thought he acquitted himself quite well.
