Thread: JaVonte Williams signs with the Cowboys

I don't like all the changes year after year. They should keep guys we know so we don't have to learn new players.

Javonte lost something after his injury, and I wish him the best in the NFC. His pass protection was on point, but he wasn't the same player he looked like he was going to be.

Unfortunately you’re right. Before his injury he was the league leader in broken tackles and one of the leaders in yards after initial contact. I was hoping he’d get back to his old self in his second year removed from injury but that’s not what we saw last year. We just saw a decent short yardage back, a decent receiver, and a decent blocker. The dominant runner between tackles didn’t reappear.
I hope we can get Jeanty, but I think he’ll be long gone at 20.

I wish him luck but yea he wasnt the same after the injury.

Dang. Gotta change my adopted B.

I wouldn’t even say “decent” between the tackles honestly. He was a shell of himself as a runner. Easy to drop, not he wrong holes, ran into his blockers, etc.

My gut tells me Javonte will have better results behind better linemen, and if he’s healthy he’ll outperform his contract.

Signing RB’s to a 2nd contract is just piss poor roster management but iirc JW didn’t get a huge deal.

Chances are he was just signed to shore up pass protection, that’s how dumb Jerruh is.

He’s dumb for signing him to less than you think he should make?


I’m not sure he’s the dumb one…. JW might have a better year, but he ran behind what is regarded as a top ten OL unit… so…..

I think you just like to complain and be annoying.

No thinking necessary.

Not what I said.

You’re the one arguing just to be annoying.

Here’s my point; I think JW could have better results in Dallas, regardless, and if he’s fully healthy from his knee injury then I think he can far outperform the contract he signed. He’s also potentially just their 3rd down pass blocker, as a matter of fact, most people think the Cowballs should draft Jeanty or Hampton.

As for “Top 10 OL unit… so ……”, says who? PFF? They ranked the Broncos OL favorably in pass pro, fwiw, I don’t know how they ranked them in run game but if anyone thinks they’re good at run blocking I’m sure it’s PFF (and Broncos fans).

SP literally talked about improving run blocking before, during and after the season.

So which of us is the dumb one? The one that agrees with the actual HC, or the one that can’t ****** read?

Fortunately for you, amirite?

Every year I’m somehow surprised at how much fans rely on someone else’s math. It’s not even really “rely”, it’s more like “acquiescing”. Quit copy and pasting someone else’s opinions.

You sure think highly of yourself. Good for you.
