Garrett not ready to commit to new LG over Williams

[CWR]

Garrett just being prudent. Let's see more of filo before rushing to conclusions.

That's a perfectly logical conclusion and it totally escaped me initially. Lol I'm so used to hating our coaches.

 

[jblaze2004]

Yea, why make a rookie compete for his spot? So much better to just hand it to them?

This is exactly why I can't wait until Garrett is gone. Stubborn and never want to make change or adjustments until desperate.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Too soon. Will let you know.

Williams will be out a little while, and we'll see what Su'a-Filo can do in the meantime. No need to make a decision until Williams is ready to play. And no reason to rush Williams back if Su'a-Filo is doing well.

But we have Su'a-Filo signed as long as Collins. Getting a good look at him this year can open options for next year. If we like him, extend him this offseason. He's playing for nothing this year, and next. Maybe we can lock up a decent player for years to come on the cheap.

Nahh, that would ruin a 20 page thread.

Garrett has no reason to annoint Sua-Filo and every reason to tell him to keep working his butt off in practice if he wants to start. But I'll post this again when this thread hits 20 pages.

Nobody's anointing him. Just give him a chance to win the job. That's more than the QB had to do.

Why not swap La'el Collins and Williams?

Veenerschnitzel coaches this team.

Sure but I don’t think it was that much improved
We had a goid running

if he was that good why was he replaced by the team that drafted him
It wasn’t like in many cases about the money
We aren’t paying him that much

I’m not saying he is so good.
The fact that he is better than Conor Williams says more about Conor than it does about him.

Williams is a liability at LG at this point.

 

[conner01]

I agree mostly, but you cant learn strength.

Nope
Got to get in the weight room but those reps are invaluable and everyone knew when he was drafted he needed to get stronger

I don’t see the liability myself
I see a rookie making rookie mistakes for the most part which improves with reps and he’s gotten better as he’s played

 

[slick325]

Ride the "hot hand" Coach Garrett. It's a meritocracy in the Dallas locker room.

Oh wait... 2016 flashbacks. PTSD I guess...my apologies all.

The fact we even need to have this conversation says so much.
Where there is smoke there is fire.

 

[Cowboys22]

Of course not. When something works, Garrett is the last to embrace it. It was an obvious upgrade but sticking with it would entail admitting that some guy you picked up off the street is better than your 2nd round pick and you have been starting the wrong player all along. Garrett will never admit that.

 

[fansince68]

Garrett is late to react to anything.

 

[Idgit]

Every scouting report I read had him as a guard

And says his arms are too short for OT in the NFL.

Don't want to bruise the fragile rookies ego.

 

[Alexander]

I don't see any reason to rush Williams back for this game. He just had his knee cleaned out.

Give him another week to rest and get another look at Su'a-Filo.

 

[bpfred]

IMO, this board is over-reacting to Sua-Filo and Williams both. Sua-Filo played slightly better than Williams--not a lot better. Further, it is only one game.

Sua-Filo looks stronger than Williams. Williams, IMO, has better feet. Williams will be better at pulling, at getting to the second level to seal LBers, and handling speed. There are plenty of incredibly strong Gs that don't do those things very well at all.

Power is nice, so is speed. It's hard to find both qualities in one player--there's only so many Zach Martins in the league.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

That's fine. His job is on the line and if he wants to continue to coach like a idiot that's on him.

A little better ? Even when Williams doesn't get 'beat' per se , when pass blocking , it seems he spends an inordinate amount of time being move back into Dak's line of sight/vision , which we all know causes Prescott to panic and start running like a headless chicken.................Su'a-Filo at this point possesses power that Williams hasn't had the proper time to accumulate..........................I believe he will , but he's simply not there yet..........................

 

[iceberg]

Williams is the future
He’s gonna start when healthy
It’s nothing that most teams don’t do unless a guy falls on his face
Players learn by playing, not watching

he may well be the future. i hope so. but for now if the other guy is outplaying him, play him. williams can sit and learn.

Or hes waiting to see what Lincoln Riley wants to do. Lol
