Twitter: McCarthy's cryptic message on Connor Williams

[VaqueroTD]

Confirmed. Job threatened. Coach Mike "Accountability' McCarthy

Make it soon if it's good for the team. That OLine needs some time to get ready together for the Playoffs.

H--m-m, right from the horse's mouth to God's ears -- sounds like a change may be on tap for CW. I'm surprised it took so long!

 

[JBS]

According to Helman from the Break the possible switch at LG is on the coaches radar.

Did he say who would play LG?

 

[Ranching]

Let the coaches worry about and stop the hate, you may be very disappointed is he keeps his job....lol....

On the Zeke goal line td , Connor was the only linemen to get pushed back.

I think that is the cause of his holding issue. His form has to be perfect or else he gets manhandled and then starts grabbing.
At any rate, the coaching staff sees all that I’m sure and looks like they have about seen enough.
I think the change is coming soon.
I know this much, it will set off a cowboy zone celebration upon the announcement

I’d love to see it work out to where Collins could replace him at left guard. La’el has power to maul people that Williams never has. I think he could bring a ‘Ron Leary’ type of physicality to help make the line ever better.

The question for me is whether we moved Steele to LT was because we felt he was a better option than La'el or because we wanted Collins to go back to his starting position. If we think Steele is just the better player or the better RT, then I could see Collins being given a shot at LG when Smith gets back. But I think it's more likely that we keep Collins as the starter at RT.

And as I pointed out in another thread, McGovern didn't play that many snaps on the line Sunday and had a hold called against him. So I'm not sure Dallas sees him as a better option.

I thought they made it clear that Steele was the starter at RT. I think the move had more to do with Ty Nsheke. I do think Collins is better, but if that's all the coaches were looking at, then I don't think they would bother to have him work out at LG in practice

 

[OGCowboy]

So refreshing to have a coach that will actually talk about accountability with players. Something I haven’t seen on this team in many years

 

[JoeyBoy718]

If only McGovern could snap... McGovern is a meat mauler and would be a great center if he could snap... same for Collins imo

It’s not like Biadasz can snap.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Smith - Collins - McGovern - Martin - Steele

 

[Stash]

Smith - Collins - McGovern - Martin - Steele

I think that’s too much change.

 

[Verdict]

According to Helman from the Break the possible switch at LG is on the coaches radar.

In my opinion he should have been replaced already.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Id put McGovern at LG and keep Steele as the swing tackle

 

[phildadon86]

Tyron-La'el-Biadasz-Martin-Steele?

Thats what I would do.

 

[McKDaddy]

You can put lael at lg and still use Connor Williams as the fb/extra offensive lineman so he is still on the field and contributing and the good vibes keep on rolling

it really isn't that hard is it?

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Tyron-La'el-Biadasz-Martin-Steele?

Id do it...and I have been one trying to give Williams the benefit of the doubt. He is a marked man...the announcers felt two of the three penalties were really ticky tack. One of the holds and the chop block was BS.

Even if Collins wasn't there I'd give McGovern a shot at the job.

 

[Zman5]

Did he say who would play LG?

No but they were speculating possibly putting Collins there and moving Steele back at RT once TSmith comes back.

I don't think that they did, although maybe I missed it. They definitely gave Collins some work at left guard, so that's a good point. Five best would appear to include those two, so it would make some sense for Collins being back at RT only being temporary while Smith is out.

The chop block call was pretty awful. He held on the downfield block. It might be one some players could get away with, but when you've got a reputation working against you, they're going to call it.

Biadasz has been playing much better as well. Of course, some of that is not going against some of the best DTs in the league.
