Saxum Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/detroit-lions-san-diego-chargers-rookie-running-backs-karlos-williams-front-office-insider-092915 The playmakers are plentiful in Greg Roman's offense. But the real star, err, point guard running the show has been Tyrod Taylor. The athletic quarterback ranks fourth in the NFL in completion rate (74.4 percent), mainly because of the short passing game. As a runner, he has moved the chains and bought time to make plays. "Tyrod is a very good quarterback and is a problem for teams to cover," an AFC scout said. "He can run all over the place, and that presents a matchup nightmare. They have too many threats. He's going to be a fresh QB in the fourth quarter, and it won't be good with tired big men chasing him around." Too many threats - isn't that what they Bills talked about with the WRs, RBs and TEs in preseason and before the analysts said that there would not be enough throws to go around. Also in article: Karlos Williams, Bills, fifth round: He hasn't had a large sample size, but he's made the most of each carry. In fact, Williams leads the league at 7.8 yards per attempt. "He's much better than I thought he'd be," an AFC area scout said. "He wasn't showcased that much during his time at Florida State and was a backup. He's playing much better at this level than he did in college. He's a great fit for their offense because of his downhill style. I wouldn't be surprised to see him split carries with LeSean (McCoy) moving forward." In fact, Williams will be playing more sooner rather than later. FS1 NFL insider Mike Garafolo reported on Monday that McCoy (hamstring) is unlikely to participate in Sunday's game against the Giants (FOX, 1 p.m.). Said an AFC personnel director: "Even in college, (Williams) was a big, physical running back. He was a guy that can get downhill and break a lot of tackles. He has more speed than people give him credit for. When you get him going downhill and his shoulders square to the line of scrimmage he's going to break tackles and make yards."

LeGOATski Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I've never understood the basketball fetish among football commentators. Yes, Chris Collinsworth, we know he used to jump on a basketball court and now he's jumping on a football field. Thanks for reminding us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
