Trade Kyle Williams

[....lybob]

The move to 3-4 hurts good players like Stroud, Schobel and Williams it may help Aaron Maybin who probably fits better as A 3-4 OLB than a 4-3 DE,- I guess I understand if it means the Bills are in a total rebuilding mode cause Stroud and Schobel are too old to be an asset if you are planning 3 years out- Williams probably has value as a pass rushing NT.

We'll still be using some nickel packages right? Wouldn't KW be perfect to bring in on passing downs?

This article talks about the combine but specifically two DT's from the 2003 draft, 1st rounders;

 

And you can see from the success -- or lack of it -- of other defensive tackles taken high that he's right about that. At that point, Kennedy was the third DT the Rams had taken in the first round in three years (Damione Lewis and Ryan Pickett in 2001 were the others), and none had done anything to that point.

 

In fact, all three of those guys are testaments to the time it takes to develop (as well as testimony to why the Rams have gone from the top of the NFL to the bottom). It took until 2008 for Lewis to become a starter (in Carolina) and Pickett was just made Green Bay's franchise player for $7 million. At age 30, he's finally found a home in a 3-4 defense.

 

In any case, the point of all this is to say that it may be hard to take two more months of the Suh-McCoy debate -- with Sam Bradford, McCoy's Oklahoma teammate thrown into the No. 1 picture if the Rams decide to go that way. Despite the 628 media members in Indianapolis for the scouting combine, we're not going to get the answer from Indianapolis.

 

Nor are the teams, who spend so much money and so much time analyzing everything they can analyze about every prospect. Lewis and Pickett and Kennedy and Joseph (and, of course, the likes of Ryan Leaf) highlight the reality that nobody ever knows for sure about a prospect. .

 

In fact, you might say Joseph's career peaked in his first game when he sacked Warner in the end zone. It was one of seven NFL sacks he's had.

 

It looks like DT's that come out of the box strong are rare.

You don't get better by trading good, hard nosed players like KW. He's basically the same size as Jay Ratliff, the Cowboys all pro 3-4 NT. You find a way to fit a good solid pro like Williams into your system. Good players are more important than any scheme.

I agree with you completely Biscuit on this. When you played you were overrated and not as good as Talley but you speak truth to power here.

Kyle Williams is one of the only solid players on this team- and you want to trade him? Last in the NFL against the run is not enough for you? What, do you want to set all time worst run defense records?

Ryan Pickett is 6'2" 340

 

If Williams can put on 20 pounds it appears he'll be close to having a NT's body.

 

I dont think he is being considered as an NT personally. I think he could be a PB end.

I'm for trading as many players as possible off this roster. Nobody on this team should be untouchable. If you can get a good return then trade who ever you want. This team sucks and we need new blood everywhere.Christian Louboutin sales currently has five boutiques in the United States. Two are located in New York, and one in Los Angeles,or the coach purses
