I expected to see Young's name instead of Williams. I've heard good things about the former before and during camp, and nothing about Williams. He didn't exactly impress last season either. Oh well, I don't pretend to know more about the players than the coaching staff, so I'll trust that they put the best guys on the 53.

Every fuggin game Teddy finds a way to get some obscure special teams penalty. Yea, he may be fast, but he is obviously an idiot. He had 8 penalties last year and only plays a handful of special teams plays per game!

Um, for the record, Teddy Williams was one of our best coverage ST guys last year.  He's always the first guy down the field and it would be a huge loss for our coverage unit if he wasn't out there.  Barring injury, he's basically a lock to make this team.

I wanted to see Young make it too. I remember reading that he was doing a bunch of extra work in the off season to make himself better, and as good as Teddy Williams was on ST's, he did get a lot of dumb penalties last year. I'll trust the coaching staff though, because they see these guys every single day on and off the field.

11 tackles...... 8 penalties.

 

He had the fourth most penalties on the team and wasn't a full-time starter.

Damn, and we still went 15-1.  Special Teams guys are very, very, important.  But, I guess he's more important than keeping a guy that probably won't get any PT over 3 rookies.

This is so encouraging. I'm still expecting the rooks to make mistakes, even mistakes that may cost us a game or two. But the corner position may go from question mark to strength in the space of this season!

Gettlemagic baby!

@Jeremy Igo, re: Lou Young... like everyone else in this thread, I am curious where he stands in all this. Does he have a chance to unseat Williams?

ST is one of the easiest phases to draw penalties but that's pretty damn bad. I think we need guys like Jones and Williams but you wish he could do something at CB. Colin showed his limits but he was out of position so it's not totally on him.

I could be ok with stashing Young and keeping McClain.

      this is true.  But NFL Ss and defenses are actively taking that away and playing to take them away vs most teams.  The problem thus far in BY's career......is they are cheating and not respecting the deep game which makes the smaller/mid range game harder to pull off.  and Dallas is an anomaly game.  using those random games as well, look at this......doesn't really change the discussion/issues in Carolina.  Bryce Young took the shots this week because they were not just NFL open but college open.    Wide open dudes downfield that really were coverage busts/issues.

      I will simply counter all that with: you should always strive, at every turn, to avoid indoctrinating young players into a culture of not playing to win the game.  Come man, that is an egghead academic approach that ignores the human element. it looks good on paper. Maybe.  In the voice of the great  Herm Edwards: Hello! You play to win the game.  I completely understand the need but that is not the way….
