TE Brandon Williams = Julius Thomas

[PhillyB]

that was my thought as well tonight. great pass catcher, terrible blocker, raw as hell.

 

how sweet would it be if he snagged in a couple of touchdowns from cam on sunday?

[Guest FredLane4Ever]

I threw Thomas in on my fantasy team. I was hoping for 4 tds and 200 though.

I don't know he looked pretty for real and Welker and the other WRs looked pretty open in the 2nd half magically.

No, it was Welker's early work that opened up everyone else. At one point, Manning was 4/5 to Welker and 1/5 to everyone else. Welker was doing work early on. Pretty sure Manning's first three completions were alk to Welker.

Even Collinsworth commented at half that Fox said that the D was focusing so heavily on the outside WRs that it was leaving Williams one on one against a LB on the inside and that was a matchup they liked.

[LinvilleGorge]

He could just be Fox's 2013 Rosario Dawson.

Maybe you meant Dante Rosario? But hey, Clerks II was fuging hilarious.

Who cares about Dante Rosario. We're talking Rosario fuging Dawson here.

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 agree. Blocking is mostly technique. Learning to block in the NFL is very difficult, especially for someone in Williams' situation. Williams is very raw but he has all the tools to be successful. Hopefully the light will turn on for him eventually. I can't wait for that to happen

If Brandon Williams has 110 yards and 2 TDs all season, I'll be surprised.  Not bashing the OP or the player or anything.  I just don't think its very realistic to expect a breakout season from an undrafted rookie 3rd stringer who can't really block in a power running offense.  Call me crazy.

Julius Thomas, former Portland State basketball player, puts up 110 yds and 2 tds for Denver. He is eerily similar to Brandon Williams in build (Thomas 6'5 240lbs, Williams 6'4 250), speed, ability, and rawness. I say fug Harstock and Brockel, get this man the rock!

Peyton can make about anyone look good; Cam isn't there yet.

[PantherPhann89]

I certainly hope that we use him to his strengths and not his weaknesses. He could become huge for us...

[KillerKat]

We need to get out of this mindset that a blocking TE is more valuable than a receiving TE. It's a passing league now. Brandon Williams should be our #2 TE. Put the blocking specialist at #3.

I really didn't get to watch the whole game last night...Something about too many margaritas and a late start last night. I am hoping that we can run 2 tight end sets this year. I loved how we did it with Shockey and Olsen in 2011. This Williams kid has the potential. I would love for him to have a big game against the Hawks. I am so glad football is back my friends. Go panthers!

[car5nc]

Let's just hope he is active for the game on Sunday.....

[CatMan72]

Was thinking the same thing watching the game last night but we already have one of the best TE's in the game... don't want to see us taking the ball out of Olsen's hands but we do need to get back to running more two TE sets.
