scribo Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 In response to a question asked around 2:20 in the following video, Offensive Linemen Coach Aaron Kromer mentions Chris Williams "isn't here at this point." Aaron Cromer speaks with media I wonder why, and I wonder who else is choosing to bypass the voluntary workouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 There is ZERO reason why a player (unless they are injuried) should not be showing up for workouts under new coaches...... Sends the message "I dont really want to be here" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scribo Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 There are other players at OBD each day right now spending time in the classroom and rehabbing when the rest hit the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Honestly, I don't understand why he is still on the roster? Maybe hashing out an injury settlement? Joe D. At his age could play better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Especially interesting the two we're hearing about being absent right now are both players most here have identified as likely being on the bubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sends the message "I dont really want to be here" There is also very little reason for a fan to be concerned about it I've never seen a linemans season ruined by missing a no pads, optional, practice in May. Nice to get good attendance but no need to dramaticize it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to get good attendance but no need to dramatize it I think there is a difference between being intrigued by it versus being concerned about it. As a fan, I find it interesting since Chris Williams appears, to me, to be fighting for his job and maybe even an NFL roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to get good attendance but no need to dramaticize it Agreed. My only concern with him is that he is a lousy football player who takes up a roster spot and cap space. Other than that it's all cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fan, I find it interesting since Chris Williams appears, to me, to be fighting for his job and maybe even an NFL roster spot. I hate to stick up for Williams - I think he was a terrible signing - but he's very likely got an nfl job, just not at this pay rate. As a third guard, you could do worse. Heck, with a 3rd round rookie, urbik and incognito who hasn't played for almost 2 years ahead, there is an outside chance he's still a starter here. Agreed. My only concern with him is that he is a lousy football player who takes up a roster spot and cap space. Other than that it's all cool.Ha! I agree there.

I agree there. He's a 3rd guard that also has experience playing Tackle. Granted he wasn't a great LT but at the very least he could serve in the role as needed in a pinch.

Overseas Bills Fan Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 He will not survive training camp. And he is a waste of a roster spot anyway, considering the younger, hungrier talent behind him. Goodbye, Chris. . .we hardly knew ye. Maybe because you stunk it up playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his back injury is lingering. and that might be the reason he isnt on campus. I might also think Bills are not planning much of anything with him in mind Edited May 21, 2015 by 3rdand12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLbills Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 There is also very little reason for a fan to be concerned about it Without fans, what would be the point of playing? They are in the sports entertainment industry. I think the fans have plenty of reason to concern themselves with the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Agreed. My only concern with him is that he is a lousy football player who takes up a roster spot and cap space. Other than that it's all cool. I believe the football people will understand and know how to deal with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might also think Bills are not planning much of anything with him in mind He's a guard- learning the new system is great and all but if a week in May in shorts and a t shirt is make or break in that process, things were horribly wrong before the camp even started. Without fans, what would be the point of playing? They are in the sports entertainment industry. I think the fans have plenty of reason to concern themselves with the issue. So because he has a job in entertainment we should be worried..... Because without worry what's the point? There's plenty of topics we could discuss that are more educational, relevant, or interesting.... But omg Chris missed practice tends to be easier than anything else. So there's that.
