The kid can play. I'd like to see what he can do in William's position next to Shazier. I think we will see him there in the next few weeks. He's a smart kid and plays hard. That's what I want on the field.
 
I agree as it seems like Williams is just a touch off on where he should be. RED has an instinct and knows how to follow it. He is a little green / raw and things will happen but I do like his play big type play.



Salute the nation
 
I love his energy and his gamer attitude. Look forward to seeing more of him
 
I wouldn't mind them sprinkling in some depth. Right said Red too. Sure wouldn't hurt. Not like he would be spelling a superstar.

My bad !!!! I just skimmed read his post. (My stock excuse). Fiala is a good comparison currently but here again I'm rooting for the underdog to climb up.

Wasn't he the one that didn't cover the TE in Chicago when he was wide open for the td

He is making plays, and big ones at that, in limited special teams snaps. I for one would like to see him get more D snaps:

Williams is better than people are giving him credit for. He's not good in coverage, but the coaches shouldn't have him out there in coverage, Shazier over ran way more plays than Williams, that's because Shazier can over run plays.

I see what you're saying but that's easier said than done. It's no longer a run, run, pass league so you can't have a liability on the field on 1st and 2nd down either. Good coaches (*cough*) will exploit your weakness and he is a weakness in this defense. Is he even THAT good against the run? I mean we did just get run over when we knew they were going to run and he didn't exactly help the situation.

I like the guy as a rotational 3rd MLB but he's not starting material to be out there on every down and despite all the crap Timmons got around here, we do miss his playmaking ability and his all around skill set. I thought before the season started, not replacing Timmons will come back to haunt us and it's not looking good so far.

I say at least give Red some more snaps, see what he's got outside of special teams where he has excelled this season.
 
We're drafting an ILB early next year, hopefully in round 2 after they take a QB in R1. The run defense was disgusting Sunday. I hope it can be corrected with coaching, but its a pattern against cutback teams. They knew it was coming and couldn't stop it.

Williams wears the dot. He calls and sets the defense. Red is nowhere near ready for that responsibility. But... he may be one day.

That is Amazing. We have much better players and a career back up who does not have much value on passing downs has the communication line with the coaching staff?

I agree on the passing league, but Williams is probably better than Dirty red in coverage, but neither are very good at it. I look at Dirty Red the way I do Gay, less is more, the less they play, the better they play.
I wouldn't mind not even using another ILB when we play good passing teams, put Davis in there and use an extra db
