It’s a weird week again as the Dallas Cowboys get ready to play the second Thursday game in a row Dallas Cowboys Hoodie , this one on TNF versus the New Orleans Saints. The team is starting to get some players back, maybe.The biggest plus for Dallas is having Taco Charlton looking ready to go this week. That will help to get the defensive line closer to full strength, and having Daniel Ross a full participant is not bad, either. Maliek Collins has been dealing with injuries all season, and usually is able to go despite them. That just leaves David Irving to get back, but there is still no sign that is coming any time soon.Normally Emmitt Smith Color Rush Jersey , having Tyron Smith sitting out would be the source of great angst, but after the way the offensive line performed with him on the bench against Washington, things are a little less worrisome. It would still be better to get him back, but sitting out the first practice of the week is also a normal precaution for him. We will have to see if he is back on the field the next couple of days. While both Zack Martin and Xavier S’ua-Filo were limited, they are expected to be ready on Thursday. Connor Williams also is ready, but the team shows no sign of pulling XSF for him. Given that Williams did fill in for Cameron Fleming last game (although only for one snap while Fleming dealt with a shoe issue) Deion Sanders Jersey , he may just be more valuable to the team as a backup that can handle four positions in a pinch. And Adam Redmond backs up the one spot Williams would not.The rest is about as expected. Still no sign of when Sean Lee will be back, but so far, the team has survived that with no problems. Overall, the team looks a bit healthier than they were for the Thanksgiving game, which is not a surprise given the short week then. And after the Saints, they have the 10 day “mini-bye” to hopefully get even better for the stretch run in December. The two Connors are set to battle during Cowboys training camp."Going into the 2019 draft Troy Aikman Color Rush Jersey , there wasn’t a whole lot of thought given to drafting a guard with a high draft pick. It was generally assumed that 2018 second-round pick, Connor Williams, would handle that position after an up-and-down rookie season that saw him lose the job temporarily, partially because of injury. But then the third round of the 2019 draft happened, and when the Cowboys were on the clock they saw Connor McGovern was still available. Given their high grade on him, they felt compelled to pick him. They even passed on a trade down as Jason Garrett exclaimed “we love Connor!”The drafting of McGovern sets the Cowboys up to kick the other Connor Tony Pollard Jersey , Williams, out to right tackle in a year if the team doesn’t re-sign La’el Collins. The addition of McGovern also gives the Cowboys a strong offensive line with plenty of depth. That’s all good, but the question is being asked - which Connor should start at left guard this season? Assuming Travis Frederick returns, the other four positions along the line are pretty much set. LT Tyron Smith, C Frederick, RG Zack Martin and RT La’el Collins. Left guard https://www.dallascowboysfanshop.com/Connor-Mcgovern-Jersey , though, could see a competitive battle. Given how high the Cowboys were on McGovern, it seems only natural they would let him battle Williams for that position. Let’s check the pros and cons of each.Connor WilliamsPros - Now has a year’s worth of experience playing in the NFL and has some continuity with his his fellow linemen in the trenches. Pictures and accounts from insiders claim that Williams has bulked up, strength and weight were something that plagued him in his first season with bull rushes. Williams has nice feet and was a plus when asked to pull and get out in space.Cons - Guard just may not be his natural position even with his shorter arms. His feet and style of play may be better suited to the tackle position. He was unable to lock down the left guard spot last year and was even benched for a bit once he returned from injury. Connor McGovernPros - Body is NFL-ready and has been praised as a powerful run blocker. Seems to be a good fit for a zone blocking scheme. Has a strong base and not susceptible to bull rushes. His size and power just seem like a natural fit from day one.Cons - He’s a rookie and the transition to the NFL can be rough. Has some weakness as a pass protector; can get caught lunging and lateral quickness is a challenge. Might not be as nimble as you’d want reaching the second level.So who ya got, BTB? Which Connor will be the starter when the games begin?
