Mike in Syracuse Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) Ok, so I'm watching the first team defenses snaps against the Vikings for the umpteenth time and I'm keying on Kyle Williams. Dude was straight up UNBLOCKABLE! He's literally shoving the Vikes starting center into the QB on multiple snaps. Someone needs to send Kyle a memo and tell him to save something for the regular season!! Edited August 21, 2012 by Mike in Syracuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsrcursed Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I know some of our flashier guys get most of the spotlight (Freddy, Stevie, Mario) but Kyle might be our best player, he's that good. Here's hoping he turns in a healthy, Pro Bowl deserving season. There was another thread asking who the one guy was we couldn't afford to lose, and he either was my pick, or should have been my pick.

TakeYouToTasker Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Kyle Wiliams is the rare dirt-dog wide body talent who can dominate an interior gap, push the pocket, and play well in space. If Marcell Darius can build on last year's effort, and be 3/4 as competent as his linemate, we should be in for an exciting ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to find the link, but according to Football Outsiders it was one of the greatest DT performances EVER in a single game. I believe that was the one Stevie dropped the TD in the endzone in OT. I remember thinking afterwards that without KW that day we could have lost 45-3, but instead its was an overtime game. KW is maybe the best interior DL player in the league.

ajzepp Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I noticed Dareus doing that in the first preseason game, as well...these two are pure brutes...Mario and Anderson are SOOO set up for success here it's not even funny. If we can get some solid CB play from our starters, I'd love to see us cheat up a safety more often than not. I really think Ron Brooks may be the key to that....he has been like industrial adhesive so far....I like Williams a lot, but I'd almost rather go with Brooks and Gilmore as our starters.

I'll try to find the link, but according to Football Outsiders it was one of the greatest DT performances EVER in a single game. That was a fun game to watch with a bunch of Stiller fans. I also remember the first time we saw him in preseason action the year he was drafted. I don't remember who the opponent was but he single-handedly destroyed the interior of their offensive line for the snaps he was on the field. Some guys don't have an Off switch and I think Kyle is one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonborn10 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Let the line play 1/2 of the next game and then rest them all for the Jets. Better yet just forfiet the 4th game. The roster is 95% set. Let Moorman and Powell hold a punt contest, take six WR's not named Stevie and line let them draw four short straws, and lastly let Carrington and Edwars figh to the death in the parking lot at RW.

truth on hold Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) OH MY GOD, The GREAT WHITE BUFFALO..... LOOK OUT!!!! LOOK OUT!!!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ0zXAgECHg But seriously, when healthy I honestly think he's the best interior DL in the game. I think 2 season ago he kept coming out on top in an objective website's analysis I kept seeing (forgot which one but it seemed legit). Great push upfield, brings it every play, equally effective against run or pass, strong as an ox, not particularly tall and w/ alligator arms hard to get a bead on. Guards and centers probably crap their pants more thinking about how to defend that throughout the whole game than more of a pass rush specialist like Suh. Foot doesn't seem to be bothering him at all.... sure hope it stays that way. Edited August 21, 2012 by Joe_the_6_pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeyBomb Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) KW & Dareus could become one of the top DT tandems in the league. Kyle Williams was ranked by Profootballfocus as their BEST defensive player in the entire NFL in 2010. He's more than great. We have something special. Dareus = as good, if not better than Suh with out the stats. That's not that far fetched either. This could be the best D-Line the Bills have ever seen as well. The hype is real, they just need to do it now for us to be in these talks legitimately. Edited August 21, 2012 by DukeyBomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Reminds me a lot of Joe Klecko. Yep. His ability to forklift blockers back into the QB is Klecko-esque.

truth on hold Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 The only guy I'd rather have is Haloti Ngata, and even then not by all that much. Tough choice (and to think we could have him too if for another misguided "system" pick of whitner). Ngatas a freak for sure, never seen a guy his size elevate like that. But as flashy as he is I still the give the nod to a healthy Kyle, because of how he never takes a play off. Ngata can disappear for long stretches. Williams stamina and hustle is extremely rare for someone his size, they get tired. But he's a bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hardly saying we've done anything yet (I typically get bashed for providing cautionary messages, fwiw), but are you saying youd be indifferent to swapping out MWilliams, Dareus and Anderson, for Kyles starting supporting cast at the time of Stroud and Spencer Johnson?
