Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Preseason Week 4)

It's not you, but at the same time, we didn't really run the way we will in the season. Meaning, How many left end sweeps behind Samuels Dockery and with Sellers leading the way did you see? I don't think I saw any.

I know it's a smack session, but I am so excited, and drinking so much Kool-aid it's not funny. I think JZ ran this preseason perfectly. We used it to test schemes, players, and backups against firsts. JZ never got caught up in the Fan trap of "playing to win the game". He, and his staff, put specific players in position to win and to step up. That's a good pre-season to me. Also, no key injuries (although is anyone else worried about Carlos) is a good thing.

I could not agree more. I think the way things were done will pay dividends this year in a big way.

The season starts in a nine days. It doesn't seem feasible to keep a project offensive tackle when there will likely be free agents that can step in and perform adequately, after Saturday's cuts. I don't see how anyone can be comfortable with having Mike Williams as the #3 offensive tackle.
There were some bright spots with Williams play. I can see him evolving into something alot more dominant with due time. I think he makes the squad and wiil develope into a reliable back up with minimal drop off from the starters eventually.

I just don't see MW making a big impact for this team. I would rather have a good FA. I don't know?

Really, you can't question Mike Williams effort, the guy clearly wants to be great, but there were teams that invested $20-$30 million in this guy, and couldn't turn him into a blocker. This team spends $690,000 on him, and isn't any closer at getting him to be an offensive tackle. At what point do you just call a spade a spade?

If you like his work ethic and potential, move him behind Dockery at LG, and make him a one position player. Then cut Bridges and sign someone who can actually play the tackle position. There's no point to having 2 tackles, 2 centers, and 5 guards.
