Bill from NYC Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) 10 hours ago, WideNine said: The Mike Williams thing does stick in my mind, as he was a mistake. The other early 1st round OT McKinnie that the Vikings took the same year struggled for years to meet expectations. I have always felt that it is a pretty risky position to reach for early. Mike Williams was excellent in college. The man was huge and overpowered his opponents. He also had sloppy work ethics, a weight problem, and a chronic ankle injury. Now, an ankle injury is huge for any football player. For a 360 pound man it is devastating. Oh.....and he played Right Tackle. Drafting him at #4 was just plain stupid. As for McKinnie, you make him sound average and he was FAR from it. Was he as good as Orlando Pace? No. He was however a rock solid Left Tackle for the Vikes for many years and as I recall, he even played for another team when he got old and was still functional. The man was said to not have the best work ethic and some off field issues but he could flat out play. There is no doubt about this. A majority of the best left tackles were first round draft choices, many of them early. The Bills passed on them and other fine blockers time and again to draft running backs and secondary, and that is a huge reason for the 2 decades of losing.

I understand that fighting with the coach is a bad look, but it seems like this rule is only in place so that the coach has an excuse to bully players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This situation looks WAY worse for Applewhite IMO. It’s a really, really stupid rule. He went all the way to taking the coat off the guy in the ultimate power struggle!! He looked like an umpire or referee that tries to flex his power. He was Joey Crawford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Looking into the offensive tackle class for the 2019 NFL Draft, there’s one that really stands out. That player is Jonah Williams from Alabama. It’s clear that he’s the top offensive tackle and rightfully so; he’s a technician — the technician. During the beginning weeks of college football, I noticed that Greg Little was getting some buzz as one of the best offensive tackles in this class. There’s no denying that the Ole Miss product is talented, but he’s not as consistent as Jonah Williams. Coming out of Folsom High School in Folsom, California, Jonah Williams was a five-star recruit. According to 24/7 Sports, he had 26 offers. Listed as the 17th-ranked recruit in the country, Williams had a plethora of options and ultimately chose Alabama. Since his early arrival to Tuscaloosa, Williams has gotten his fair share of hype. From Freshman All-American to first team All-SEC, Williams has lived up to it. When he arrived, he earned a starting role at right tackle and held that position down for two years. This season, he made the transition to left tackle. Sometimes it’s tough for an offensive lineman to make that transition. For others, it looks effortless. Let’s take a look at some film on Jonah Williams and see how The Technician operates: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word to the mutha lol Or...... Start Williams at RT as a rookie with the notion of "best man wins" LT the following year. You want the premier paid position you gotta earn it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of a 90% JJ Watt which is still pretty good. He definitely fits what McD is looking for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 6. Buffalo Bills: Jonah Williams, OT, Alabama With the top wide receiver off the board, the Bills go in another direction to help Josh Allen. Alabama OT Jonah Williams is viewed as the draft's top offensive tackle. Williams and Dion Dawkins give the Bills a young tackle combination to grow with their franchise quarterback.

26CornerBlitz Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 6. Buffalo Bills | Jonah Williams | OT | Alabama Jonah Williams would be an immediate player on the offensive line as a long-term fixture protecting Josh Allen’s blindside. Williams is athletic and has very quick feet making him a very good pass blocker. He is powerful in the run game and should help open up holes for whoever the franchise back that Buffalo decides to roll with. 38. Buffalo Bills | Kris Boyd | CB | Texas. 70. Buffalo Bills | Anthony Johnson | WR | Buffalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
