Connor McGovern

James Cook had a long touchdown last year.

So if the Bills can establish up front, and again, my biggest concern with the Bills' offensive line is that Connor McGovern has not He's just practiced this past week.

We haven't seen him since the spring, right? At center, like Alec Anderson is the new starting left guard.

It's not David Edwards anymore.

So I think the Bills...

Although they didn't have Connor McGovern for much of the summer once they got back to Orchard Park when he got injured in the blue and red scrimmage, they know who their starters are going to be.

They've

seen that Alec Anderson won that job.

They have Austin Corbett behind him, who's played a ton of football.

Lloyd Cushenberry, who was Joe Brady's center, at LSU in 2019 as the backup to Connor McGovern.

I think they're actually in a pretty darn good spot, but you are right.

Like relative to how stable it's been, you can be a little bit concerned, but I think if you look at it from the grand scheme of things across all 32 NFL teams, it's, this is still one of the best units in the NFL.

Australia is marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people, including 10 Australians.

Live now to Connor McGovern in Canberra.

Connor, how will this anniversary be commemorated this year?

Yeah, good morning to you, Jane.

You knew who your center was.

And even when your center moved on and Conor McGovern slid over, they knew Conor McGovern.

He knew the guards.

He knew the tackles.

And that defense that's supposed to be, you know, crazy schematics and this and that, if you haven't had a lot of guys out there getting reps, like they don't have time on task.

Uh, and then also on their O-line, you know, Connor McGovern hasn't really practiced much, and they have a new guard next to him, and they haven't had a lot of chemistry next to each other.

So, um, they've had a ton of injuries, you know, so that's something that could be in the Texans advantage there.

Shout out Fuel Labs, "If Brown doesn't hold up, should, should you leave him in or move Rutledge over?" Um, I guess it depends on, like, [clears throat] how bad that is.

Uh, left guard, Alec Anderson.

He's the one reprace- replace- replacing Dave Edwards, right? Um, sorry.

Uh, center, Connor McGovern, talked about him.

Uh, right guard, Cyrus, uh, Torrance, Osiris Torrance.

When you consider the position battles and whatnot and playing in a game is just different.

Connor McGovern missed time.

We expect to see him in Houston.

It's just those tackles in particular, Spencer Brown, Deion Dawkins, those are difficult matchups that they are going to have to have.

But what does it look like with those two healthy, with David Edwards gone, a new offensive line coach? I think a lot of people have taken for granted the fact that Bill's offensive line has been so good.

But with Aaron Cromer retiring and David Edwards gone, what is it going to look like?

Yeah, and we go back to Connor McGovern being injured, hasn't had as much time with Alec Anderson, and this is a fierce Texans D-line.

So it's not exactly the combination of things you want to roll into a game with, but it'll be a good... early taste.

Yeah, and once again, the most notable one was Khalil Shakir.

here that would have been the one that I think would have given me the most cause for concern if he was not practicing out there today so for him to be practicing on Wednesday is a good sign the Jordan Hancock domino is interesting because we are talking about a depth player but also a player I thought was going to get on the field often so we will see how the rest of this week plays out and what the official injury report ultimately says but last week was kind of like the return of all of the notable people with Keon Coleman, with Conor McGovern, with Terrell Bernard, CJ Gardner-Johnson.

They're all back out there again today, which is very notable.

Yeah, you didn't want to see any setbacks or anything.
