Rocky Landing Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I think at one point within the last ten years, we had something like seven, or eight players with the last name "Williams" on the roster, at once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How cool would that be?! Boy... You must suck @ history. George Washington died in 1799. Even if the poster wanted to meet General Washington and 1st POTUS in the 1800s it would have had to have been 6 feet under. How cool would that be! ? /smh... Who's your history teacher, Uncle Bugs: LoL... Anyway, I took the poster's comment as trying to be funny. ?

#34fan Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) 7 hours ago, LSHMEAB said: To set the edge for whom? Milano is an average at best pass rusher. LORAX is on the other side. Why can't Allen be Lorax's replacement? Edge setting DE's are a dime a dozen. 3-4 backer... Maybe... he's a hybrid, really... I suppose a skilled coordinator might be able to exploit his freelance capabilities, but I don't see a physical force to be reckoned with there. Quite frankly he's good for missing tackles, and slower than I prefer when it comes to re-directing himself. I also like my DE's to exude more power at the point of attack. Allen has a quick 1st step, and is good for skirting blockers, but if they lock-on he can't shed them fast enough. Without much improved technique I feel like he'll get jammed-up quite a bit at the next level. -JMO Edited March 30, 2019 by #34fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 5 hours ago, BillyWhiteShows said: They have different first names. You can differentiate. “Tackle by Mario Williams, with the assist from Kyle Williams.” It would be a different story if they were both named “Mario Williams.” That's not the question you asked.

KRT88 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Better, Josh Allen is drafted by the Jets or Dolphins and spends his career trying to sack Josh Allen. And that’s far more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can see them, it might not be a problem. The bigger issue is for radio broadcasts/podcasts or in general discussion. if someone says “Josh Allen is the future of the Bills franchise” you have no idea who they mean.

Not at all surprising notorious Negative Nancy’s stayed true to form, convinced they know it all and we need be honored by their presence so we may learn from the Masters.. ie: T-Bomb,Troll Toll, Domdab99, #34fan, The_Dude, MAJBobby and ‘Life of the Party’ Scott Law -to name JUST a few.

Allen. If you have the luxury of a visual, then you would know which Allen they were talking about. Different numbers, off or def, etc.. If you don't have the luxury of visual, then the name on the jersey is irrelevant. It would be the duty of the broadcaster, radio host or reporter to tell you which one they are speaking about.
