Antonio Williams Signs with CFL Club

[ChevyVanMiller]

 

“This addition makes us even more excited for what should be an intriguing camp competition in the backfield.” #BCLions sign free agent @A_B_Williams26 The veteran joins a quartet of experienced backs that will battle in Kamloops.
 

Maybe the Bills weren’t off base when they released him after all.

But he was the key to our running game that never was 

[KingBoots8]

There must be some mistake - I heard he was a star who had been wasted on our depth chart…

[John from Riverside]

I still say that he is a damn good running back you will see him back up in the NFL

[Chandler#81]

I heard it’s cold in Canada..

Larger playing field in CFL = More 'SPACE' for RBs to get into. 😁

Gailey's not doing consulting gigs, is he? 🤔

A little more than 5 ypc…that’s Hall of Fame level.

A backfield with Williams, with a WR named Robert Foster...the 'stuff dreams are made of'...😁

Most of his work has been done and preseason. I still think there’s talent there.

I mean to me, it really does show you that there’s plenty of running backs to go around

 

You know what there’s not a lot of to go around quality offense of lineman just take a couple high in this next draft, please

A point I have noticed raised in the forums is that OLs rarely enter the NFL ready for play.  The contention is that it takes a year or two of playing experience to be successful in the professional game, as opposed to the collegiate game.  An exception to this seems to be OLs coming out of programs in the midwest.  Iowa seems to stick in my mind. 🤔

The big questions is will he and Duke Williams enter the HOF in the same class?

So maybe the Bills actually can evaluate talent better than the fans? Weird?

When your only used 12 times in 2 years how can you prove if your any good if your looking for a comparison then we need to get rid of Hines then he also sucks he had -3 yards this season so why keep him around .

 

Plus this year they kept Moss & let Blackshear go just maybe if they would actually use some of these backs in a game setting they may find a good one instead of holding on to one being Moss because he was a draft pick .

 

This has been a recurring theme with the Bills Dabol took 2 Players with him being Hodgins & Berida and actually used them both & took his team to the play offs and the Bills let them both warm the bench & again let Moss pretty much a none factor but 1 play per game be active every week .

 

Then they did the same with Mckenzie resigned him because he can run fast &had just 1 really good game sometimes i just wish they would give others a real chance in games to see what they can produce while in a real game setting .

Preseason NFL is CFL.  Maybe the Bills should bring back Nate Peterman?  He won the preseason...

How many carries did the Giants give Williams?  The question answers itself. 

 

Obviously Hines is a ST talent.  Williams wasn't on ST.  Simple.

[Bangarang]

Williams and Hodgins would’ve made our offense unstoppable. 

[BuffaloMatt]

Can't wait for the draft . . . then mini camp. . .then OTAs. . . then Pre-season . . . . .
