For Connor Williams, A Focus On Technique

[waving monkey]

FRISCO, Texas – If Connor Williams had a “Welcome to the NFL” moment on Sunday, he got another one in short order on Wednesday.

It speaks to the spotlight of the NFL, and the Dallas Cowboys, that the rookie guard was swarmed by reporters on Wednesday afternoon. But that’s to be expected when you surrender two sacks in a season-opening loss.

“It’s a challenging task for him Week 1 to go against that defensive front,” said Cowboys coach Jason Garrett. “There were some good things for him. There’s some areas in pass protection that wasn’t good enough and we’ll continue to work with him on that.”

To Garrett’s point, Williams’ season opener was always bound to be a baptism by fire. Panthers defensive tackle Kawann Short is a Pro Bowl who has tallied 26.5 sacks in his last three seasons, and he is currently playing on a five-year, $80 million contract.

“He had a couple of times that he had some problems, but those guys in the middle of the Carolina defensive line will give anybody problems," said Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones.

I’ve never once heard Pollack mentioned as an elite coach. Never. Not saying the new guy is any better but this is a stretch

Where did that come from? He was the asst OL coach here for 2 years before taking over. So I guess he became the best in 3 years as our OL coach?

If it’s someone the front office let go of...then he’s elite. If it’s someone the front office hired or retained...then he’s an idiot.

That’s the thinking around here. Get with the program.

I like the concept of forged in fire...coming out steel.
