Does Antonio Williams Get Activated for Playoffs??

If that were to happen I doubt it would be against the Colts. The Colts defense's strength is the run game and their secondary is weak so I would expect our WRs will be busy this week.

True. Plus If anyone were to get called up, I'd hope it would be Yeldon for the screen game. He was productive in what little he was given this year.

Would Now be the appropriate time for the weekly inquiry into whether Christian Wade can be called up? 

Yes, yes it would,

He looked good in his limited reps against the Fins...no doubt.  But I have seen a lot of bad players look good in one part of one game.  Not saying he is a bad player, just saying this proves little about him and I just don't see our staff taking snaps away from Devin and Moss for him right now.  

 

That being said, sure its possible he could be active, but if so, I doubt he sees many reps, if any at all, unless its a blow out.  

 

Me personally...I am super curious about the kid.  Wouldn't mind seeing him get some reps here and there, just don't think it's the wisest decision to do so with a guy who less than a half of a games worth or reps experience heading into the playoffs either.  

 

MOST importantly, its about both pass protection assignments and ball security.  Hard to trust a PS rookie in our first playoff game with those things to really give him snaps over Devin and Moss.  Especially since both have shown to be effective in their respective roles when we do use them.

I am pretty down on singletary TBH.

 

I just don't think he does anything great.

 

He isn't fast, he doesn't really break tackles. He is descent in space I will give him that.

 

True that he is averaging 4.4, but I do think that is a bit flawed since he doesn't get many 3rd and short carries (which would bring down his YPC), and he only has a total of 156 attempts on the year.

This is where I’m at with him, he can make you miss in a phone booth, but isn’t fast enough to get out the door before you tackle him.  To me, he’s a fringe player at best and a wasted 3rd round pick.

Who do you make inactive in order to do this? I just don’t see it. 

So make singletary inactive? He was really really good In the playoff game last year. 

Singletary has been uninspiring this year at best.  Moss should see the bulk of the action, I’m not sure what the obsession with Singletary, he’s a fringe NFL player who’s only value is in small uses.

A guy who averaged 5 plus yards per carry last year. Adept at picking up blitzes yeah let’s get rid of him. We have two 3rd rounds picks at RB who do their job and support a record breaking past first offense. AW great story vs Miami but our two backs will help lead this team. Both will contribute in the playoffs.

Honestly, if you think he can help you, probably sit Robert’s. I love the dude, I think he’s quality, but I don’t think we miss much by bringing in McKenzie rather than a KR/PR specialist.

 

I don’t have an opinion on it in reality. The sample size was just so small against a team that gave up. But it seems like we have times where we really struggle to run the ball in the early and mid parts of games. AW seemed to be a glimpse of part of that fix. I just don’t know if that’s a mirage.

I wonder if we might see him AND Yeldon activated this week, and have Taiwan Jones sit.  I read somewhere that Antonio Williams was his team's MVP on special teams in College, so seems like ST shouldn't suffer too much even though Taiwan Jones is great there.

Coach McDermott -- please do not bench our top gunner on kick coverage for a back-up running back. Thanks.

Williams ran well but we don't know how well he picks up blitzes or if he can catch out of the backfield. I think our " running" game will be mostly short passes out in the flat to slow the Ravens pass rush

Dont forget ball security. All things being equal, the surest hands against multiple-men tackles will play.
