Twitter: Maliek Collins reverse pancakes Connor Williams

[Bobhaze]

Wasn’t that just a false start type play? It’s hardly anything to get excited about for either player. We’ve all seen plays where a false start occurs and a DL flattens an OL because the play’s timing is stopped. That’s a big nothing.

You mean Williams?

Nope i meant Lael Collins.
Someone suggested moving Collins back inside to OG, where he's had the same techniques issues when he came into the league
and Cowboys switched him from college LT ..to Left Guard in the NFL.

Yep, definitely seems that way.

Everyone gets beat. No one was saying Tyron Smith should retire or is finished just because he got beat by Dorance Armstrong.

Williams handled the rush from Collins wrong. He tried to reach for him to the outside, which allowed Collins to charge back into him while he wasn't set. He needed to hold his inside set IMO and if Collins continued to the outside, push and drive him wide of the pocket. Reaching like that gives up your leverage. The problem wasn't a lack of power, it was poor use of technique.

Of course, we also have to remember that this is isolation blocking in these situations. Normally, the line call might give him help to the inside or outside that would allow him to set differently. For example, if he has help to the inside, then he would set to the wide side of the DT, forcing the DT to either go directly through him or into the double-team on the inside.

Last year, I thought one of the problems with our blocking is that Looney would help Martin at times when we needed to be scheming for Looney to primarily be helping either Williams or Su'a-Filo.

I know what happened. What I'm saying is what I've been saying all off season. Even if he dominates Collins my stance stays the same.

 

[glimmerman]

Lol. Conner wasn’t even ready. Looked like a stalled play that Collins took advantage of. Good, it will keep Conner on his toes in the future.

 

[Mr_437]

Connor's leverage was poor, but give Collins his credit. If you watch how Maleik stepped/made a move outside then exploded back into Williams was genius...caught him slipping.

 

[waldoputty]

Tell us.

It honestly looked like Williams didn't realize it was his go.

cheerleader walked by

 

[Whirlwin]

But he's bigger now everyone says. Just put the guy at swing tackle and throw mcgovern out there at guard.

I think they'll notice it sooner than later, maybe

 

[Whirlwin]

Actually from what I see . the entire line stop playing. Maybe he was pancakes because he let up

 

[Whirlwin]

Or execution.

It looks like the entire line stopped playing. But the defender kept coming. I could be wrong but that's what it looked like

 

[noshame]

That was bullcrap by the DL. it was a dead play.

 

[Bullflop]

Any young o-lineman like Connor Williams deserves the opportunity to develop his skills over a significant period of time. Embarrassingly losing one play to a highly capable d-lineman in practice isn't any time to make far-reaching assumptions. Connor will be afforded the time and patience by offensive coaches to develop his skills as needed. Those who can't abide by that at this early date could likely stand to be far more patient.

You're not wrong, I can't believe what I'm reading here....what is this newbee ville?

I'm actually from the old Cowboys fan forum. I had a Landry's hat with a hundred thousand post. It's tough being the new guy sometimes. I know you didn't mean me but yeah lot of new people here a lot of Eagle fans LOL we would have laughed them off the old site

 

[Whirlwin]

So what's a regular pancake?

Usually a pancake is an offensive lineman slamming the defender. They call it a bulrush when the defense of line does it

 

[CT Dal Fan]

To be fair it didn't look to me like Williams was even in his proper stance. Maybe he wasn't expecting the ball to be snapped right at that moment and Collins put him on his rearend.

Having said that I think Maliek Collins is going to be a beast this season. He's due for a contract and somebody is going to pay him.

 

[Number1]

This is what happens when our Oline stands up instead of staying low and firing out to meet the bullrushing Dlineman head on. You instantly lose leverage and get blown back on your arse. Terrible coaching.

terrible execution and body strength

Huh? its 1v1. Collins vs Connor williams. Connor williams went into a pass set, was too high, and missed his initial punch. Collins got inside and after connor missed his punch was already off balance, collins took advatage and put him on his butt.

 

[SiCk_DiAbLo]

Looked like a dead play but Collins didn't hear the whistle....
