The Xavier Su'a-Filo (76 in your program) Appreciation Thread

gg Sua, keep it up!

 

[Roadtrip635]

Will the coaches think his performance tonight earned him more playing time?

 

[LocimusPrime]

He should start the rest of the year

 

[Sydla]

Dare I say the OL looked better with him in there for Williams?

 

[Stash]

I don't recall any huge messups or penalties. Take your time getting well Connor Williams. No, no, really. Take your time.

I agree.

I expected him to be the next Blane game guy, I even created a thread. But his presence seemed to revitalize this line. Between Su'a Filo and Olawale playing a lot, Elliott and this running game dominated all night long.

And that was against what had been the 2nd ranked run defense. Hopefully, they've found something.

Player of the game in my book!

The kid played very well considering. Makes me further question the club’s brilliant decision to gift Connor Williams the starting LG position before he ever got to Dallas.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Props to me calling for this change even before the injury. I’ve been saying Su’a filo should be starting at LG. He’s a wide body , an excellent run blocker , and plays with power. A poor mans Ron Leary. This staff is so stubborn.

 

[xwalker]

He kept adjusting his jersey. Get him one that fits, I think he earned it.

On every play. It was odd.

 

[Batman1980]

I had a feeling this would happen since Williams was such a mess. Made Tyron look better too!

 

[xwalker]

Musta been easy to forget the first 2 plays of the game, in which Cox absolutely pushed him back into Dak's lap. He righted the ship from there.

He steered Cox clear of Dak on that first snap.

Of either Tyron or La'el had better blocks Dak would have been OK.

 

[Number1]

Props to Xavier, Marc Colombo and Hudson Houck

they should have made the switch during the bye

Su'a-Filo made Tyron Smith better, lol. Among the excuses people would use for Williams is that he would do better if Frederick was in there. Su'a-Filo performed with Looney and a less-than-stellar Tyron on each side. Beastly presence!

This. Having an NFL caliber LG makes the entire o-line better.

Front office/coaches should take a ton of heat for forcing a guy barely bigger than some TE's to start LG when he clearly doesn't have the strength or size for it yet.

You might break the like button w/ that take...

Excuse?

"Player X would be better next to Travis Frederick instead of Joe Looney" isn't an excuse, its Newton's Fourth Law of Thermodynamics.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Just let him keep playing. Let cooper get an entire offseason to gain strength and experience

Regardless, the dude needs to be on the team. Keep him and looney regardless

 

[J12B]

Where did this guy come from? I dont remember him on the roster during preseason

Anyone have any history on him?

Amari or Rush? Lol.
