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.

    • Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.
    • I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
