I like Karlos & all, but, he's suddenly entrenched in the #2 spot and won't be challenged? The Bills always preach open competition so If he outperforms Karlos to take the #2 RB role it will be great for the Bills. He'd better be ready to handle pass protection duties to keep Tyrod upright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also question why he included Petrino's name in the piece since he was gone from AK before Williams got there. I'm in a nit picking mood today.

OldTimer1960 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I watched all the plays Williams was involved in vs Texas A&M in 2014 (YouTube) - he made some very nice runs in that game. Likewise, I watched all of his plays vs Alabama fr 2014 - Williams was pretty good against a tremendous defense, but what I noticed from that video was Reggie Ragland making a bunch of plays.

3rdand12 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Our RB depth overall looks to be outstanding this year. It does appear as so . I watched all the plays Williams was involved in vs Texas A&M in 2014 (YouTube) - he made some very nice runs in that game. Likewise, I watched all of his plays vs Alabama fr 2014 - Williams was pretty good against a tremendous defense, but what I noticed from that video was Reggie Ragland making a bunch of plays. Good news on both fronts ! I've heard rave reviews for Williams thus far. Take that fwiw but apparently he is off to a great start. Absolutely will take it !!

John from Riverside Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) The thing about this kid that is really impressive is his balance......he takes hits and keeps his feet.... This is the kind of player that you find when you stay true to your board.......he did not fill a IMMEDIATE need.....but should have been drafted much earlier.

Ground and Pound works for me. I like all the artistry and big plays the aerial attack provides but if you can run on a team you can throw it all day!

I like all the artistry and big plays the aerial attack provides but if you can run on a team you can throw it all day! I like the fact that the ball is being thrown downfield more......running with power to set up the deep ball was a key ingredient of what made football fun in the 1960's and 70's and so compelling in those NFL films. The west coast offense has it's moments but the deep ball and long td's are the HR's of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Shady will be here through 2017 but I am excited about J Williams in the following years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
