Haha, that doesn't mean he is into him or anything. Have you been under a rock? We signed M.Williams and we need him to lose a ton of weight to play on our O-line. Yes the same o-line which sucked donkey d*** all of last season.

Williams was once a 1st round pick and now gets injuries because of his weight, therefore as any fan who is following a player's development would follow Williams weight, as that is the primary factor determines Williams ability to contribute to our line.

William contributes->we have a better chance to protect JC->JC throws TDs->we make the playoffs.

I could spell it out for you....

yeah your right.
did you hear santana moss is working on his burst off the line speed? we should start a thread on it. i heard hes chopped off .2 seconds!!!!

Moss gets a better burst->he beats the DB's->he's wide open down the field->he catches more touchdowns->we make the playoffs

I could spell it out for you...

As far as M. Williams is concerned there's nothing more important right now than getting his weigh down. We should be following it

Good to hear his weight is down but that's just half the battle. The more important part is shaking off the rust and getting his playing skills up to par.

Hater!

...you're right though

It was be a great story if he can step in and start at RT for us, contribute as a positive force, and finally live up to his potential. Im pulling for him and we need a good story along an O-line that is growing old and injury prone....

johno · 05-27-2009, 10:08 AM

I cant wait to hear more news about this guy after the June 1 OTAs

JoeRedskin · 05-27-2009, 11:29 AM

I am not looking for this guy to be an all-pro or even hoping for it. If he can pull a Mandarich and give us 2-3 good quality seasons as a starter or even back-up, that would be a HUGE gain for us.

I agree with that staement about looking for an All Pro. I do however think he is better than Jansen or Heyer.

I think what would be huge is if he was able to be a quality backup for Samuels. I think the rest of the line quality is relatively interchangeable, but when/if Samuels goes down that is when our line play drastically drops. If he can work through and be ready to go by mid season I think it will be a coup for us. I am still sorta hoping Levi Jones is at least being talked to.

Good news to hear, we will see how the OTA's go. Id like to see him play back to the form that made him a 1st rounder and help our oline become a force again.But he does have a ways to go.

FRPLG · 05-27-2009, 01:48 PM

I am so hoping this guy can put it together and stay healthy for us. I really think if he plays to his natural capabilities he is a MAJOR upgrade at RT. I am really setting myself up for disappointment though. The weight and injury issues don't just disappear and the fact that he is only eating salads is a red alert to me. he can't keep that kind of eating up long term. He needs to be working on keeping weight down without a special and unsustainable diet.

DBUCHANON101 · 05-27-2009, 02:00 PM

yeah he is eating salads now to do a dramatic drop in weight in a short period. When he gets back to his target weight it wont be hard to keep it providing he continues to work out.

SBXVII · 05-27-2009, 07:55 PM

If Buges can help Williams get is technique down then I see the team keeping him. No matter what size he is. They have already said they are supprised at how well he can move his feet. Which means speed is not an issue at this point. I think their issue is can he play a whole game and not get too tired and have to sit out or have a heart attack.

If he can get his endurance up then I bet he's the RT. Although I'll agree I'm setting myself up for perhaps a big disappointment. I think the left side of the line is stablized now that Dockery is back. My concerns are Rahbach being perhaps too small weight wise and squating too low for JC. Hopefully Thomas comes back healthy which means the right guard position is in good shape. Then RT.

I could see 1. Samuals, Dockery, Jansen, Thomas, Williams. or 2. Samuels, Dockery, Jansen, Bridges, Williams. In the second cenario the O-line would be hard to push around with the weight of the O-line simply by adding Bridges who is over 300 lbs also.

I put Jansen at Center cause his lateral movement has been declining, and cause of what the team said about his ass being higher for JC to be able to stand taller behind center. Plus I think he's probably heavier then Rahbach. I could be wrong though.
