GunnerBill Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Lots of talk since the start of camp about how well Da'Norris Searcy had been showing in practice, however, last night I was impressed with what I saw from Duke Williams. He was one of the positives of the night for me... for a second year guy who didn't play a lot of snaps in his rookie year I thought he showed up really nicely last night. Could he win the starting job alongside Aaron Williams?
DJasper Probincrux III Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 I don't know. But he sure can give a hit! It was good to see him come up to fill but he really needs to wrap up and not just throw a shoulder into a guy.
Mark Vader Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Didn't Duke give up a long pass? Did he? I don't remember seeing that.
H2o Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 I want to see Williams get his shot with the one's to see how he does in coverage/run support against NFL starters. Last night he was a bright spot after the starters hit the sidelines.

Big C Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) The Williams boys at safety sure can hit! Would love to give that tandem a shot. Edited August 4, 2014 by Big C
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 The Williams boys at safety sure can hit! Would love to give that tandem a shot. Â Duke did bring the wood and I loved it. It's kinda silly to celebrate a hit after a 12 yard gain but it's the preseason so who cares. Â I'm very interested in seeing how he progresses this camp. He brings an attitude and I love that.
Braedenstearns Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Â It was good to see him come up to fill but he really needs to wrap up and not just throw a shoulder into a guy. ya I agree.
GunnerBill Posted August 5, 2014 Author Posted August 5, 2014 I didn't see him give up a long pass play... but it was on 1am-4am here in the UK.... I can't promise I didn't miss the odd play with my eyes closed!
CountryCletus Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Â Â Duke did bring the wood and I loved it. It's kinda silly to celebrate a hit after a 12 yard gain but it's the preseason so who cares. Â I'm very interested in seeing how he progresses this camp. He brings an attitude and I love that. Â Exactly!!! He certainly does dish out some punishment, which is fun to watch, but most of his run support tackles were 5+ yards down field... Â The men in front of him need to keep that from happening, and he needs to make those plays closer to the line of scrimmage... I'm sure he would look a lot better running with the ones, as far as run support goes...
Big Gun Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 If Duke wins out it'll be 4 Williams on starting defense.
maryland-bills-fan Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 ....but the world ended when my-footsies-hurt, left.
K D Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 don't know if I trust Duke yet like I do Searcy. i'm sure Duke will get some playing time here and there and have his shot to show us what he can do, but for week 1 i'd go with Searcy as of now
Hazed and Amuzed Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I'm a fan of Searcy, the guy always seems to be around the ball. He seems like a better than average safety who's going to make a handful of big plays in a season. Williams I'm not sure about yet but I like his attitude.
Flip Johnson Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 I don't think Duke is starting but from what I have been hearing (and seeing) he and Meeks can both hit. I love the idea of multiple, physical safeties that we can develop.
