Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Williams, by all accounts, is scheduled to play on Thursday. McKelvin is day-to-day, however, from what I have been hearing he has a good chance to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Duck Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 The speculation is A Williams will go back to Safety If McKelvin can start. Myself personally, Williams would play the Bills shut down Corner until Gilmore returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself personally, Williams would play the Bills shut down Corner until Gilmore returns. I saw a player (in williams) that seems to be really developing into a strong defender at corner with really good field awareness, I'd also like to see him stay at corner for a while now too.

By all reports he lost his confidence last year. He seems to have gotten it back. And that seems to be making all the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 By all reports he lost his confidence last year. He seems to have gotten it back. And that seems to be making all the difference. Is this all due to Pettine's defensive scheme? Now in the long run, does this mean that A Williams should move back to CB, or does he remain a Safety?

PaattMaann Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Why not both? Disguise, shift, don't let the offenses know just what his assignment will be. THIS and I think finally having an uber-capable coordinator will allow williams to do just that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 THIS and I think finally having an uber-capable coordinator will allow williams to do just that... Marcel Dareus got one of his sacks from DE position Sunday. Why should the backfield be rigid when the line has shown you can have success through fluidity? Imagine what fluidity we can create with Williams, Byrd, McKelvin and Gilmore. (I think I just peed a little) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I think I just peed a little) minus Byrd of course : ) its actually been kind of fun to watch this defense (finally) this year - minus the whole getting off the field on third down issues that still seem to plague us - but ill chalk that up to us being depleted through injuries for the most part and it being early on in the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success or failure, nobody can accuse this defense of being vanilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Williams played a great game. Even when he got burned deep, he made a shoestring TD saving tackle that limited the damage to 3 points rather than 7. That 4 point difference turned out to be the difference between winning 23-20 and losing 23-24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoName Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 this is all about coaching I think....go back to this time last year. Most people had Mckelvin and Williams and draft bust....now look at this year? These guys are on the brink of playing at a pro bowl level. How does 2 db's go from being burried at the bottom of the depth chart to this level of production and one year? New coaching staff and scheme. Brought out the best and these 2 guys. Until Gilmore gets back, I'd like to see Williams and Mckelvin at CB Robey at nickel And Byrd and Leonhard at Safety Searcy Dime. And when Gilmore comes back who would you send to the bench???? I am sure the obvious answer would be Leonhard but I that guy has been a stud this year. I am really feeling that our secondary (healthy) is one of the biggest strengths on this team.

Webster Guy Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Man I was really feeling for Aaron after he made that second pick in the endzone. He had already hurt his shoulder on that earlier play, and on the INT in the endzone where he hurt his back he elevated like Megatron and landed directly on his back. There are no pads on your back in the NFL, just up around the collar. If you're hunching over trying to hold on to the football it's pretty much like falling backwards off a dresser and landing on your back. We always knew you could hit Aaron, but nobody knew what kind of heart you had until the Baltimore game. incredible. If he isn't the AFC player of the week then there is something wrong with the voting. There is NO way we win that game without 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonborn10 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 My prediction - Williams and McKelvin start at CB. Leonhard at FS. Searcy at SS. Byrd plays in sub-package with three safeties over Duke Williams. Rogers sits. Browns best player may be there TE. It will be very interesting to see who covers him.
