ChanOverChin Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 That's huge news!! Hopefully, he's back in shape. Maybe they'll bring back Manny Lawson as well.
ChanOverChin Posted October 6, 2016 Author Posted October 6, 2016 Actually, the workout will take place this Friday (10-7-16).
ChanOverChin Posted October 6, 2016 Author Posted October 6, 2016 Per A. Schefter (ESPN), Bills are expected to sign Williams after his workout tomorrow.
VaMilBill Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) I hate to say it because he played well last year, but I feel like it was kinda a fluke. I honestly like Gillislee better than Karlos. Gillislee has great vision which I don't think Karlos does. Karlos isn't a power back and isn't a shifty back. He's just a tweener it seems like. I don't understand why they are bringing him back. Did he even play special teams when he was here? Edited October 6, 2016 by VaMilBill
VaMilBill Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) But isn't that why we have Jonathan Williams? Plus Karlos isn't really a thumper. He is definitely an upgrade on Bush so I can see that. But I hope he doesn't supplant Gillislee on the roster. Just my opinion Edited October 6, 2016 by VaMilBill

I do like Gillislee, and would like to see him get a shot, but maybe the Bills feel fit-n-trim Karlos >> Jonathan Williams. I do think Karlos for all his height, can function as a power back and make yards from nothing better than Gillislee or McCoy. I just don't trust Karlos for judgement or commitment to the team at this point, but I don't make personnel decisions for the Bills either.
Estelle Getty Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Cut Bush, Williams, and Salas to start making room for the new guys. Maybe you can put Williams in the PS. But he has shown nothing to make anyone believe he is a better back than Karlos.

I just don't trust Karlos for judgement or commitment to the team at this point, but I don't make personnel decisions for the Bills either. Karlos can be the thunder part of thunder and lightning...we don't have a big back that can move the pile on short yardage if we need it. Karlos has something special...he hits the hole hard but then he can run away from people too...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 I would be happy to have him back. He just has a gear Gillisle does not. I would have been ok stashing him for the games during his suspension so I'll take him now.
Utah John Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 J Williams is a rookie and hasn't earned game playing time, which is not to say he's not playing well. There's a clear pecking order with McCoy, Gillislee, and then scraps. Williams has to show he can manage blitz pickups (speaking of that, Mr McCoy, how do you spell o-le?), hot reads as a receiver, motion formations, etc in order to get time on the field during games. It's all part of the learning process, and with McCoy and Gillislee in front of him, he's not going to get much of a chance for now. That said, during preseason Williams looked really good, which is what kept him on the roster. Will JW turn out better than KW? I honestly don't know. But KW was a real force last year, a true weapon, and the running game this year misses him

Magox Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Per A. Schefter (ESPN), Bills are expected to sign Williams after his workout tomorrow. I would really be happy if this happened.
John from Riverside Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Cut Bush, Williams, and Salas to start making room for the new guys. Maybe you can put Williams in the PS. But he has shown nothing to make anyone believe he is a better back than Karlos. What chance has he had
reddogblitz Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 What chance has he (JW) had He got a few carries late vs Cardinals and got stuffed.
MAJBobby Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 if signed like it is reported he is expected to it make his cut puzzling, Like who wanted him Cut? They could have had him around the facilities in to offense and such by just putting him on the suspended list
Santana Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 They cancelled his visit per his girlfriend or fiancée @dakotaaarayyy on twitter
John from Riverside Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 He got a few carries late vs Cardinals and got stuffed. A few....as like...THREE We do not need this guy! Concussions Lack of Committement Suspensions
