Twitter: McCarthy's cryptic message on Connor Williams

[Stash]

I know that happens, but it’s an absolute travesty. They’re impacting a man’s ability to earn an income. I’m sure they wouldn’t accept someone going out of their way to impact their income, the full-time or part-time.

Certainly not. But they’ve got a billion dollar business that constantly covers for their screwups.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

That’s not very cryptic.

It certainly begs a question.

 

[JustChip]

Certainly not. But they’ve got a billion dollar business that constantly covers for their screwups.

I’m not one that thinks the solution is fill-time referees. The bigger problem is the seeming lack of accountability and refusal to implement technology and processes to attempt to minimize egregious errors. I don’t expect perfection, just consistency and an effort to correct mistakes. Oh, and world peace, too.

Mostly the penalty issue....although it is fair to say that guys tend to commit penalties like holding when theyve been beat by the man in front of them.

I think that’s the issue though. Not saying penalties are acceptable but if it’s happening once or twice out of what? 80 snaps? If he’s doing his job I think you live with it.

Might be far fetched but is he getting snaps over McGovern so that his value continues to get him paid in this offseason and help their comp pick?

Williams was a project when drafted and has never come to fruition. If he wasn't a Horn, he would have few defenders.

2nd and 3rd round OL picks aren't near as good as those 1sts. Most are 50/50 players.

 

[Beaker42]

IMO there was nothing cryptic about McCarthy's message. It was very clear that Williams better step up or else.

At this point I don’t even want him stepping up. Bench his butt.

 

[Dale]

Connor Williams better start learning how to line up at fullback.

 

[Beaker42]

Smith - Collins - McGovern - Martin - Steele

McGovern supposedly can’t snap.

Larry Allen, Erik Williams, Stepnowski, etc.? Our entire OL in the 90’s did not have a single first round pick on it, It did have numerous late round picks and UDFAs. If I remember correctly, Tyron was our first OL picked in the first round in a couple of decades or better at the time.

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

McGovern did play center the last four minutes of the game Sunday with no issues. But there were no shotgun snaps.

Why can't he snap, he played center in college? They didnt even try him at center in preseason. They kept playing with williams who couldnt snap at all.

 

[Corso]

he's shown a willingness to try anything.
if he thought it would be a help and not a hurt...i think he would.
but on the flipside...you don't wanna monkey around with the oline.
hopefully the message was received.

My brother! Drop me a DM of a little known, B-A Elvis song!

I needs it!


TCB Babay!

 

[Zekeats]

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

This should at least be tried for an entire half.

 

[Zekeats]

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.

He never really played that bad, just got pushed back a couple times by a couple trashcans

He was taught how to snap by Ben Simmons' dad.

A little NBA humor injected in there folks.

heh heh...
I'll show my way out as I grab as many after dinner mints, at the door, as I can before they toss me.

 

[cowboy_ron]

That’s not very cryptic.

Never doubt Twitter Idgit you know better than that.

Not sure I agree with that. Those performances were bad. Level of competition had a lot to do with it, but that doesn't wash the stink away.

Which performances? Weve been moving the ball really well all year. Only time we didnt was agaisnt Denver when Steele and Collins played like **** and Den was getting pressure from the outside.

 

[gimmesix]

That stinker was worse than ours since it came against a division foe.

You seriously don't remember the games where Biadasz was getting blasted backward? Or are you misunderstanding what I'm saying? Just because we overcame bad line play (well, not against Tampa) doesn't make it good line play.
