I for 1 say good. Haven't seen much out of Williams. Out of position, bad tackling...

[4Corners]

man they are literally bringing dudes in off the street it's that bad

[Jase]

hope they know what they're doing, this guy had some suspect moments.

I was looking up stuff the other night and came across this...

The second link has a scouting report which names off a lot of positives he had coming out, and a few negatives, but overall, he sounded like he had a lot of potential and I had forgotten that he ran a 4.60 in the 40 at the combine. Pretty athletic guy.

I liked him coming out and wondered what happened to him in Baltimore. But by the time we picked him up, I thought he was just an extra body because he hadn't done anything yet.

BUT, he looked good from what I saw of him in the ATL game (edit: I only remember seeing him on a goal line series and one other play though).

he got owned on that FB touchdown in the flats. Bit hard on the run fake inside, and gave up the edge... weak. He sucks.

LOL, I just remember him popping Turner to prevent a TD, but that sounds about right. I didn't look at who gave up the fudgepacker's TD.

But, there was a reason he didn't make it in Baltimore, so that makes sense.

Oh well, it's not like we've been playing any better otherwise. I have very little hope for this defense.

funny how our strongest position turns into the weakest one.

No joke. Sucks. Ugh. Lets just play a 5-1 with 6 DB's. :)

I too think a 12-man defense introduces a distinct advantage!

Jez, we suck balls at D. Same thing every year, whatever this board is confident in going into season.....never works out to be a strength. Last year O was suppose to be good, this year D was suppose to be good.

at some point we are going to need Newton and Smitty to just play defense too. Newton DT and Smitty OLB. I am sure they played some D in high school or middle school....just like how Armanti played WR.

and yes I am 99.9% jokie.

but that .1% I am dead serious.

Am I the only one that has all of these generically named scrub linebackers as interchangeable in their mind? If you were to ask me one difference between Thomas Williams, Jason Williams, and Jason Phillips, I would have absolutely no clue except they all have slightly different names.

[Iceberg Slim]

errrr....... in the goal line play he looked kind of confused about what his assignment was and he definitely looked kinda slow when he was trying to get to Mughelli, ....i dunno. Time will tell I guess

Thomas Williams at least lays people out, that's how I remember him.
