Offensive line played excellent today

[J12B]

With the exception of one bad play by Connor William's and a terrible false start by him, the oline played GREAT.

Running lanes were open for Zeke and Dak looked comfortable in the pocket.

Nice job oline.

Connor had more than one bad play. He scares me. Fletcher Cox better never be 1:1 against him.

Yeah, offensive line as a whole? Good.

Connor Williams individually? Not good.

Payne gave him more than he could handle, certainly early. Fortunately, Williams seemed to settle in and play better as the game went along. Not coincidentally, so did Dak and the entire offense.

You know that Aaron Donald primary lined up against Connor Williams in the playoff game and Donald had zero sacks or QB Hits in that game. That's the only playoff game were he had zeros in those stats and it's rarely happened in Donald's career.

Damn....that's a helluva post and fact. I mean, it might just be WIlliams is inconsistent in is technique and motor too. I really don't know but he does check out at times. Frustrating.

 

[Aven8]

Connor was awful.

 

[beware_d-ware]

Tyron's healthy and he's just been scary.

 

[percyhoward]

In short-yardage (3rd/4th & 2 or less, any play from 1- or 2-yd line), Dallas was a perfect 5 for 5 today.

Or he is just young and still developing? He had some really good plays today too!!

 

[charron]

Still plenty to clean up in the run game. Zeke getting hit behind or at the line. I thought we looked better in passprotect.

But that's the deal with Williams. He has problems with power, not quickness. Better matchup against Donald.

He did improve as the game went on, though Beard helped him on a few initial pushes. Connor just still seems to struggle against a powerful first push

 

[jwooten15]

Williams is still a scrawny liability. Against big boys, we're screwed if we don't give him help. Looney should be there because Connor is not ready for guard

Deron Payne is a good player. He will win some snaps regardless of the specific OLineman.

Nice job oline.

Connor had at least three bad plays. He allowed pressure up the middle twice that led to an interception and sack.

 

[gimmesix]

Connor was awful.

I wouldn't say that. He had some bad plays but he had a bunch of good or solid ones.

I guess with Collins playing better at RT, Williams will be the line whipping boy this year because he's good not great.

 

[MarcusRock]

Plus 2 penalties. The Teflon Con is the weak link on the OL. But still racking up excuses in this thread I see. Everytime Dak sees pressure, 5 out of 6 times it's Connor's man. How long is he going to be a "young, developing player?" These are the big leagues where you need to produce or sit.

Payne will win more or less depending on how he matches up to the player across from him. His power is William's relative weakness.

That will get you TD's instead of FG's and more importantly, W's.

Being the worst on our oline isn't a cause for shame. 3 perennial pro bowlers and another census 1st round pick. None of them made the pro bowl until 23, or all pro until 24. Williams is still 22. Yeah, he's not as good as they are. And that's to be expected.
