All that Swole Bones talk: exactly that.

It isn't about some old school tactics by Rivera or him learning slow.

It is the fact Brandon Williams isn't nearly as good as this forum makes him out to be.  I could have told you or anyone else that Swole Bones likely wasn't going to contribute a lick.  He just isn't that good of a player, yet.

 

Now that could change.  Like Igo said, nobody should give up on him.  He clearly has some natural ability.  But I don't get why people are getting their hopes up for him so much.  Odds are he won't do a thing this year.  He's just not that good right now and the idea that he is anything better than a role player / special teamer right now stems from the fact we tend to, myself included, over-hype training camp and preseason warriors.

Patience is a virtue?

 

For all in tents and porpoises, he was correct.... 

 

 

I get what youre sayin Mage, but the best way for him to get better is get on the field & be out there with live bullets. Proper practice makes perfect, practice only gets you so far....

When Olsen came out for a series I saw Williams absolutely manhandle somebody on a run block. He pushed the guy back like 10 yards

Yep. And they guy he was bulldozing had leverage on him but Williams still drove him back 10 yards. I think that play was in Q3 or Q4.

He was the target on both passes thst were tipped at the line of scrimmage. Will review his routes and if he was open when I get into work today.

I know one of those he was in triple coverage. It happened in my end zone and we were all saying how lucky it was that the ball was batted down.

You see pictures and more pictures of him putting in the work.  We have guys that aren't playing now that can play.  They just need time.  This was evidenced Sunday night by watching Casey Walker blow up the Bengals offensive line for the Patriots.   Everybody can't shine at the same time and Olsen is looking like the best TE in the league with Gates.  With his recent fire and emotion, I would target him as much as possible.

      Bryce Young has now played one full seasons worth of games since returning from his benching in 2024

      Depends on who is available that free agency cycle, which we would never know, sadly.

      Bills predictions

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I am not getting too far ahead of myself on expectations. I predicted 4-7 wins and I feel pretty good about that considering the rest of the remaining schedule.  The biggest remaining thing to figure out is Bryce. We have to get that situation determined over the remainder of his starts. I am 90-10 against picking up that 5th year but that scenario should immediately involve a trade when that happens. I suspect it will not happen that way at all. Ekwonu looks great, so that fantastic. Brown and Horn are staying healthy and living up to those massive contracts. That's amazing. And the 2025 guys are looking filled with promise. Sadly the 2024 class just keeps looking worse.  So my remaining focus is on the development of TMac, Jimmy Horn, Coker, XL, Scourton, Umanmielen, Evans, etc. If we can get a few wins from that group this roster feels demonstrably better. Wharton has played well for the FA pickups too.

      I am gonna say that I don't know that all of the top 15 QB's would this offense cooking. Not only due to fit but I also have yet to be super impressed with DC the playcaller. For all the talk of DC being hamstrung by Bryce, I am not convinced he is a terribly adept OC.  Not saying the bulk of our offensive struggles are not primarily Bryce but I wouldn't be so sure an upgrade at QB would instantly turn us into an elite offense. I still question DC. Also, I will point out that most top 15 QB's would not be super pleased to be looking at the prospect of our WR Corps and TE group.
