DCofNC Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 I’m just hoping the coaches saw enough with Williams’ effort in the game he got in last year to give him a fair shake in camp. I don’t care what anybody says, right now, you have no clear cut starter at RB, everyone should be competing for every spot. Breida and Williams should have every opportunity to start over Moss and DS. I would love to see Moss (re)gain form and claim the starting job and have the same success he had in college, I think he can be a tier 2 type of starter at RB and that would be more than adequate in this O. Until that happens, everyone should be in play.

Like him as a change of pace / tactic back… more of a bruiser. But does he play STs well, ‘cause with this coach, you gotta do that as a backup. Taiwan Jones is now 33. There could be an opening. We really need Moss to come back strong from the injury. In midseason he was looking real good, especially for a rookie with a shortened camp. Even if Taiwan Jones is a great Special Teams player, I think his time is done. He taking up a valuable roster spot. Time to move on and find someone else who can run fast down the field to watch the return man take a knee in the end zone.
Brennan Huff Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) We definitely don’t want another Da’rick Rogers incident. We cut him and he ended up having 14 receptions in his career. Proves how inept the front office was at the time Edited July 28, 2021 by Brennan Huff 3
Simon Says Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 I would like to see Williams get a shot as the 3rd/4th RB . He was NC's special teams MVP so he should compete with Jones for a ST role. Jones isn't getting any younger.

Based on Williams having a good 2nd half against the Fish when the entire team was basically heading for the bus by that point. I would think the fact that 32 teams passed on Williams 7 times as opposed to Singletary and Moss both getting drafted, apparently none of the 32 GM's agrees with you.

Mediocre high draft picks start over much better undrafted RB’s. I think it’s just risky for head coaches to give the ball to guys who are your underdog sleepers.
machine gun kelly Posted August 2, 2021 Posted August 2, 2021 If you believe in Antonio Williams, why wouldn’t you just state that directly and you’re rooting for him. I’m hopeful too, but measured in any excitement as he only played well in garbage time in the last game of the season against an opponent that all but gave up knowing we were the superior team. I’m confident he’ll get every opportunity in camp, and this coaching staff will give him a chance. I’ve said in other threads if he really wants to make the team, he’ll need to do something well in ST. He’ll have a much better chance at making a roster spot, and then can hopefully get worked in a game. As you know, you have to make the most out of an opportunity.
eball Posted August 2, 2021 Posted August 2, 2021 I’ll just say, the OP isn’t off to a great start on this board. Maybe if we cut him he’ll find another board in 3 or 4 years and become an average poster. 1
