Sports Science: Damian Williams...


Recommended Posts

Damian Williams >> Marty Gilyard Im sorry man.

Did u see Gilyard at the Senior bowl and combine workouts. He couldnt even catch the ball, he isnt fast and he played in a spread offense.

Damian Williams has great hands, as you can see in that video. Played in a pro style offense, was the best USC WR from the day he transfered from Arkansas and USC has alot of talent at the position.

Again... more worthless, unfounded skeptic banter about Gilyard...

He actually did the opposite of your analysis...

If you just think of him as an Arkansas player, rather than having visions of Mike Williams or Dwayne Jarrett--even though he's a completely different player than either one of them and is more similar to Steve Smith anyway, and comparing players and making a judgment on account of his school regardless of his actual ability on the football field is totally stupid....then the thought of drafting him is not as hard to stomach.

that sports science segment is a joke. gee, when will the nfl allow padded landing areas for wide receivers? we have to watch out for their safety as well.

also, i laughed til i choked when i saw the "scientific" graphic and the announcer saying "ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DEGREES!"

So did you say the same things for the ones on Gilyard or Suh or was it only the USC receiver that brought it out....

didn't see those. i'm sure they're equally ridiculous. this receiver may be awesome, but nothing in that sports science segment has anything at all to do with it.

    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
    • Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
