Xavier Su’a Filo: 4-0

[atlantacowboy]

he'll get 10 sacks .

If he gets 2 sacks, that will double his november total.

 

[blueblood70]

That may be our starting QB and the turnovers and having to pass 50 times. He is not the one you want passing 50 times against good teams.

um thats pretty much a stat for ALL qbs..most throwing for over 40 attempts are on the losing side trying to play catchup..its not good to do that regardless of your qB..

 

[atlantacowboy]

This is why paying too much attention to PFF is idiotic.

He gave up a clear strip sack to Prescott.

It was one play. What his score tells you is that play was not the norm. Connor has no bad plays this year?

We will be lucky if he only gets 2 , if su'a blocks him .

It depends if you give it more value.

Honestly, if the guy gives up a strip sack that leads to a turnover, it is not the same as another lost rep that does not have the same level of consequences.

"Literally nothing?"

You might want to look up the definition of "literally."

You literally don't spend a dime on the team.

lol at this arrogant reply of yours

We spent literally no draft picks and got both financially for dirt cheap

No draft picks and no significant money to get quality starters is basically getting a player for nothing in the NFL

Lol at arguing semantics on getting starters for no long term cost or no draft picks......

What i'm trying to show people here is that Sua is actualy dam good in pass protection. But, everybody got one play they happen to remember.

 

[Starforever]

Why did he have to step up in the first place? Serious question....

That's what smart, intuitive QB's do. Sacks are going to happen, but know with whom you are playing.

Go look at that strip sack again. Dak had a solid 4 seconds to get rid of the ball and Tyron blocks nobody. If Dak had any pocket awareness , thats not a sack.

And FYI, Connor was fairing way worse against Oliver.

I guess we're still waiting for you to show us. Going back to last season, he's an above average run blocker, but a below average pass blocker. He's the quintessential foil to Connor Williams, without the upside of Connor's athleticism and ability to pull.

Calling Sua-Filo "damn good" at anything just isn't a good place to start or finish an argument about his ability.

You've actually got it backward. Sua is good in pass protection and very bad as a run blocker this year. I've posted their PFF scores.

Personally, I don't even think that was close to his worst snap. I agree with your assessment on that snap. I scream during the broadcast, before the strip, that Dak needed to step up. Sua-Filo did an admirable job staying with that block as long as he did without holding.

I literally said "going back to last season." LOL

I also said calling Sua-Filo "damn good" at anything isn't a good argument. Hes above average at best.

You seem to be correct. I don't know why his grades have flipped so dramatically from last year, but they have.

Hate to hear the news for Connor but having Xavier as the starting LG will solidify the offensive line.

This team will go on 4-0 run with this offense now having the ability to pass protect and run block at elite level.

Speedy recovery for Connor!

sua filo is bad. I would feel 400% better if it was Looney starting

 

[atlantacowboy]

Sample size

Probably correct.

 

[texbumthelife]

Probably correct.

I guess we'll find out.

The Texans and Titans didn't want him in any capacity, but he's good enough to start for us?

Great point, but the same few posters know more than the Texans, Titans and the Cowboy’s staff . They act like he is some hidden talent that has never had a chance to start in the league.

 

[jnday]

Nope not the answer. Draft a stud DT and a stud G.

The young guard MvGovern that Dallas drafted in the third round last year is supposed to be a very talented player , but he had the pec tear that put him out for the season. I have read nothing but good things about him.
