rolly Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Coincidence? I think not. He was horrible prior to his injury and I mean horrrrrible. Might be too young to cut him but no reason for him to regain starting job if he returns. I will say that Gilmore and Mario have improved but the big play that Aaron Williams continually gave up has been minimized. Unfortunately, we're looking at yet another high draft pick spent on a CB next year as Buddy has missed again.
BringBackFergy Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) I seriously think CB will be a later round draft pick..they like Gilmore, Brooks, McElvin and Williams is still maturing. Linebacker will be priority (unless the QB they really want falls in place) Edited December 4, 2012 by BringBackFergy
San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Might be that they move him to safety next training camp.
rolly Posted December 4, 2012 Author Posted December 4, 2012 Might be that they move him to safety next training camp. If you have to move a 22 year old to safety, he has no business playing in the NFL. Correction: 22 year old CB

Dragonborn10 Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 McKelvin needs to be resigned. Only way Williams moves to safety is if Byrd isn't resigned. I think the only way Byrd leaves is if he refuses to stay. I think they will make him the highest paid safety in the league. Williams is still young but he was awful except I thought he was ok in run support.

JPS Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF REDUNDANCY DEPARTMENT. It sucks to even talking about missing on such a high pick....again.

Can you recirculate that memo to the "Ralph is Cheap Department" and the "Office of Buddah Nix Must Go"...they need an update.
DC Grid Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Do they keep stats on individual CBs....specifically to the extent they give up big plays? I don't know what the numbers would be but i've never seen a CB get more often in an entire season than Williams did in the games he played this year. It's hard not to notice how much better the DBs have played as a whole since his departure. I would hate to see him step back into any starting role ever.

Rob's House Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 I know a handful of people here really understand the nuances of the game. Does anyone in the know have an opinion of how his game would translate to SS?
TakeYouToTasker Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 I know a handful of people here really understand the nuances of the game. Does anyone in the know have an opinion of how his game would translate to SS? His college film lends itself to the possibility that his game may translate, as he seemed to look more instinctual with the game being played infront of him. Although, while his lack of speed might be less of a liability playing over the top, I haven't seen any evidence that he plays better coming forward than going backwards at the pro level, nor has he demonstrated the ability to ball hawk (on under-thrown balls while playing corner), or to step up and make a big hit or tackle well in space. My honest answer is that I am bearish on his upside at saftey, but you can't really know for sure until he's got a season or two under his belt after the transition. Regardless, at this point the experiment is probably worth it.
Nitro Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 When Williams was drafted Kiper said he was a steal and would be an all pro. Others on the panel disagreed. I believe it was Todd McShay who said he is a safety. I think if he was paired with Byrd the Bills would have a good tandem. I saw him play in college and he has talent but not the speed/recognition to do it as a CB in the pros.
Captain Hindsight Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 If you have to move a 22 year old to safety, he has no business playing in the NFL. Correction: 22 year old CB Ya Devin McCourty should really stop playing
Dean Cain Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Searcy looks to be a player. I'm all for moving Williams to safety because both Wilson & Scott are 31 & aging.
Shouldaplayedflutie99 Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Ya Devin McCourty should really stop playing Hah!...well played.
rolly Posted December 4, 2012 Author Posted December 4, 2012 Ya Devin McCourty should really stop playing Oh my bad, didn't realize devin mccourty is an all pro
Britbillsfan Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Ya Devin McCourty should really stop playing Ronnie Lott wasn't bad at Safety after switching from CB...
....lybob Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 It's no shock if AW ends up at safety about half of the draft guys said he would - hope he can do it- probably needs to bulk up 5-10lbs to play FS and 15 lbs for SS
