What purpose is there having Teddy Williams on our team?


Sam Mills Fan

Recommended Posts

He's made the occasional good tackle here and there this year, but...

- He basically never sees the field on defense

- Led the team in idiotic penalties this year

- Was the biggest reason (along with Jacobs) why that Broncos punt returner was able to run it into field goal range

 

A lot has been said about the failings of the tackles, Cotchery, Tolbert, and even Cam in the Super Bowl; but I haven't seen one word about Teddy Williams. The guy's suckage flies under the radar in a Charles Godfrey-like manner. I really hope he's not back on the team next year, big mistake to keep him on the 53-man roster after preseason.

Williams may well be not on the team, but you really answered your own question in the first sentence. He made some good plays. Dude's job is special teams, so of course he is only going to see the field a limited amount of time.  He doesn't get paid like Cotchery, Tolbert or Cam, nor is his job with the team nearly as important as theirs, so he is held to a different standard. That being said, he provides good value, and I am not going to let one unfortunate play in the Super Bowl jade my opinion of his overall body of work (and I take the same approach to any player). We're going to have to look at what he provides, look at the options, and weigh the advantages and disadvantages.

He and some others are the result of a team pulling itself out of 'cap strapped mode'. You fill the roster the best you can with the dollars you have, then when you're richer, you can have nicer things (in this case, better players). Some of our bottom of the roster guys may be some other team's filler material next season, or maybe out of the NFL entirely until injuries hit some team hard (see McClain, Finnegan).

One word…Potential. He's 6'3'' with a long frame and plays corner. DG probably hoping that Wilks and the rest of the staff can groom him the way they groomed Norman.

    • You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh
    • Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!
    • And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
