TE Brandon Williams = Julius Thomas


Recommended Posts

I very much wanted Julius Thomas a couple years ago in the draft.  I yelled at Fox when Denver took him "Fox won't use him anyway!!".  Glad we got Williams now, but I wish we had gotten Thomas back then too.  Coulda used one of the picks we used on Fua or McClain on him :(

Let's also pump the brakes on anointing Julius Thomas as the next Antonio Gates based on one half of football.  Plenty of no-names have had a good half of football - especially if they have an all-time great feeding them the football.  Also, Welker/Thomas/Decker >>>>> Smitty/who?/oh fug!

 

Agreed, I just think their talents are similar, and would hate for another underutilized-Tolbert-esque situation to occur.

 

However, I am no way saying Williams will surpass Olsen or become the next Gates, I just miss the 2 TE receiving combo.

Oh yea, I'm not trying to pull an "I told ya'll so", but I did want him...

 

He could just be Fox's 2013 Rosario Dawson.

The guy had 1 career catch before tonight.  ONE.

 

He now has 6 career catches.  He had 5 catches for 110 yards and 2 TDs tonight.  4 catches, 97 yards, and both TDs came in the 1st half.  There's a good chance we just witnessed a flash in the pan.  Time will tell.  At this point, I'd be happy if Brandon Williams simply produced a flash in the pan.  He's low risk, high reward.

No one here has anointed Williams as the next great TE. 

 

All I was trying to say is that their talents are similar. Just a flash in the fan? Probably. Doesn't negate the fact that we can get excited over another diamond-in-the-rough prospect.

You might miss the 2 TE combo, but B-Will isn't going to see the field in such packages unless his blocking gets much better, because you lose the functionality of that package (by showing run and then play action pass) when you put a player on the field that can't run block. I'm optimistic he'll learn, but it will take time.

    • I don't really get the Cam parallels. Cam was a monster and even with the refs not giving him his due he still ate. Where it finally had an impact was when they let defenses headhunt him. There are probably some refs that don't like LaMelo for reasons people can determine on their own. But I think most of the noncalls are due to us being a small market team and the league and the refs just giving zero fưcks if we continue to exist. At the end of the day it's up to LaMelo to rise above it all. Nobody is out there trying to take his head off. He needs to add some bulk in the offseason assert himself and get physical in the paint and take any fouls that might come along the way and gradually you will see the tide turn. But nothing is going to change for the better for him or the team if he just continues to limit himself to acrobatic threes from halfcourt. That's just the reality of the situation.
    • Terrence Brown Jr. Scored 19.9 and 3.8 apg for Utah. He had a visit today, Juke Harris had one yesterday. Word is Knox is following Martin to UNC.  Avdalas committed today Jarin committed to returning  Young committed to returning  Adams committed to enrolling  Last I heard Mingo is still committed  So right now the roster is as far as I know.  Mingo, Adams, Avdalas, Young, Knox, Matlekovic, and Stevenson.    Veesar and Juke both have significant offers from UNC.
