Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Along with other moves: The timing of this is curious with 2 weeks left in season and Williams being a long-term practice squad player. I wonder if something happened. If it was just to make room on the PS, I would think they would release Proehl, the punter, or one of the recent emergency OL guys.

transplantbillsfan Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 WTF?!?! Why? Seriously? I know he was just on the PS but he's actually shown something in a regular-season game. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeesforclosers Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Yeah, that is strange. You'd think the only thing keeping Zach Moss in his spot at this point is knowledge of the playbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen on an 'in house' questionnaire completed by Williams: "Have you ever fumbled or mishandled a kickoff or punt return? List all incidents, including peewee and pickup games."

Johnnycage46 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Not upset by this. For some reason our fanbase gets really enamored with project players (Duke Williams, Christian Wade, Antonio Williams). When these types get released people seem so perplexed...it's almost as though the actual coaches and talent evaluators in the NFL know more than fans. 15 5 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Maybe they are letting him go so he can go to Jacksonville and help them win game against P*ts. Other than that I got nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo44 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 If I remember correctly, he was quite unimpressive in the preseason when he got some carries. The likelihood is he was never really that good as he showed in one game against Miami when he was activated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rochesterfan Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) I am not getting worked up over a Practice squad RB. I will wait and see what moves follow. My guess is you have some other thin positions like OL and the players the team has called up the maximum number of times in the regular season. They may need the spot for extra depth players and once they get through the next 2 weeks - he will be back or signed to a futures contract. It just is worth speculating that there was an issue - most likely a roster/team depth issue as guys come back.

Meanwhile we kept ford, feliciano, Ike and bates over Wyatt Teller. he flashed some good ability and seems to fit our scheme. I don’t think he’s an RB1 by any means, but he could be a contributor. I trust him more than I do Brieda. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 There probably is a good chance no other team signs him to a PS so he will still be available if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were going to promote players like these, McD would've done it long ago. Right now the emphasis for the remainder of the season and playoffs is keep Josh and our OL healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some ambulance chaser would try to sell it. 🤔🤨 Edited December 30, 2021 by Ridgewaycynic2013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to see it. Agree 100% with this. I am a bit suprised that he never saw a call up with the struggles of Moss and Breida...however that in and of itself may very well be the reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngbills Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Didnt we just lose a guy off the ps as well? So should have some spots open if they want. Maybe to add second punter and kickers due to covid potential... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
