From the episode
But his big run to the outside late in that game against the Eagles, he completely slammed on the brakes. And then, like, a huge hole, like, opened up. Like, the Red Sea. And they called it a stutter step on the broadcast. I was like, that wasn't even a stutter step.
STACKED’s take
Williams' footwork and field awareness create space; benefits from Cowboys' pass game.
Javante Williams consistently finds space and creates opportunities through his footwork and field awareness; the source highlighted a play against the Eagles where Williams slammed on the brakes hard in the backfield, causing defenders (Zach Bond and Quinjon Mitchell) to become flat-footed and lose angle, allowing Williams to run through them for 40 yards. The source noted this was an irregular play but illustrative of how Williams operates—he finds space around the line of scrimmage and creates angles once in motion. The source also noted the Cowboys' passing game (CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens) forces defenses into deep areas, creating running lanes for Williams.
