26CornerBlitz Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 @JaySkurski BN Blitz: #Bills S Aaron Williams is back, but says his approach to playing with injuries has changed: https://t.co/neBZKE7OtR Aaron Williams made it perfectly clear Monday: He's back. "I'm fully cleared to play," Williams said on the Bills' first day of voluntary spring practices. "Talked to all the coaches. Talked to all the training staff and the doctors. We really went and evaluated everything and made sure I was 100 percent before I got back out there." So even though Monday's practice can barely be called that – it's more of a group workout put on by the team's strength-and-conditioning staff – Williams still said it felt "amazing" to be on the field.
Captain_Quint Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Tough to say how hes gonna come back from this. If he's apprehensive about laying down big hits (even just in his own head), I cant see him having alot of success at safety in this defense. Edited April 18, 2016 by Captain_Quint
CardinalScotts Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 hes the "cover" safety in Rex's defense not the big hitter, that's supposed to be the other guy
Dorkington Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 I wish DBs were taught to not look for the big hit, but rather for the sure thing. I hate when Gilmore does his diving headbutt/shoulder block, I feel like he misses so many tackles because of that. Wrap the legs and twist, people.
machine gun kelly Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Sounds promising. I'd love it if we could have him back as he was in the past. That just made our defense better. Proof will come as he states in the article when he takes those shots and is ok. For his sake, I hope he is making the right decision, and can play at a high level.
Augie Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 I wish DBs were taught to not look for the big hit, but rather for the sure thing. I hate when Gilmore does his diving headbutt/shoulder block, I feel like he misses so many tackles because of that. Wrap the legs and twist, people. No kidding! It makes me CRAZY when they throw their body at a WR looking for the kill shot, but they guy with the ball bounces off and runs for another 20 yards. WRAP UP! Arms can be very useful.
BuffaloBillsForever Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 He won't make it to the quarter point of the season.
26CornerBlitz Posted April 18, 2016 Author Posted April 18, 2016 He won't make it to the quarter point of the season. BBFS! Make that Dr. BBFS, MD.
Big C Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 I wish DBs were taught to not look for the big hit, but rather for the sure thing. I hate when Gilmore does his diving headbutt/shoulder block, I feel like he misses so many tackles because of that. Wrap the legs and twist, people. But he did tear Ridley's ACL that one time. Trade offs? But really, that's one of the things I loved seeing with Darby last year. He was a great tackler.
26CornerBlitz Posted April 18, 2016 Author Posted April 18, 2016 Aaron Williams: "We will be a lot better" (8:40) Bills safety Aaron Williams talks about how excited he is to be back, how he is fully cleared to play, and the Bills "All In" theme.
K-9 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 2nd biggest negative impact on the defense last year was the loss of AW and the opportunity to work in tandem with CG, imo. Never had a chance to flatten out the curve as they learned how to adapt various scheme elements to certain opponents and looks. Safety is such a critical aspect to our defense; moreso than ever. GO BILLS!!!
boyst Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 unless this new approach is an unidentifiable HGH than i am not going to get my hopes up.

GO BILLS!!! I'll bet Robert Blanton has fewer personal foul penalties this year when he's the starting SS.
thebandit27 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 I'll bet Robert Blanton has fewer personal foul penalties this year when he's the starting SS. So it's your prediction that Blanton will definitely beat Aaron Williams out for the starting SS spot?
Steve Billieve Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 hes the "cover" safety in Rex's defense not the big hitter, that's supposed to be the other guy Is he? So Corey Graham is our big hitter?
thebandit27 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Is he? So Corey Graham is our big hitter? Rex's playbook doesn't really differentiate between the two safety positions...they have nearly interchangeable responsibilities.
3rdand12 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Rex's playbook doesn't really differentiate between the two safety positions...they have nearly interchangeable responsibilities. so no one is the big hitter? i would prefer form tackles anyways
ALF Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 I would not pencil in AW till his confidence is all in . That was a scary injury , can't blame him for taking it day to day.
PO16FFS Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Rex's playbook doesn't really differentiate between the two safety positions...they have nearly interchangeable responsibilities. Rex has a playbook?
Blokestradamus Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 I wish DBs were taught to not look for the big hit, but rather for the sure thing. I hate when Gilmore does his diving headbutt/shoulder block, I feel like he misses so many tackles because of that. Wrap the legs and twist, people. I got taught at 11 that guys can't run without their legs. The amount of professional football players that can't tackle is mindboggling. Get Antoine Winfield in as a tackling consultant.
