Toledo Bill Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 I'm sorry, but how does this guy make the team? I must be missing something, but he does not seem to be a viable option from the running back position. I have not noticed him as being a great special-teamer, either, This, in my opinion, is the type of player that belongs on a 3 and 13 team. Please tell me what I am missing here. Thanks

Thanks 760407[/snapback] I agree with you, If you have two guys competing for the #2 spot wouldnt the loser fall to the #3 spot instead of keeping the guy who wasnt even in the competition for the #2 spot

Lurker Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Change of pace, third down situational back. IMO, Gates was too similar to A-Train and didn't seem to be much of a receiving option.
PromoTheRobot Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Two words: SPECIAL TEAMS. Thet's the difference maker when you have two guys on the bubble. PTR
MadBuffaloDisease Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 No, Shaud washes Chuck Lester's car. He's the guy who REALLY runs the show.
Coach Tuesday Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Shaud returns kicks. They cut Jonathan Smith. It was either Shaud or Smith, IMO, and they already had 6 WRs and only 2 RBs.

Thanks 760407[/snapback] Williams is the type of player you find on 13 and 3 teams. In addition to being an efficient running back, He can return punts, kickoffs, can tackle, is a leader on the field and off, is faster then Gates, is not afraid to run inside the tackles like Gates was last year (Result, Gates, no playing time). How many yards would Gates have gained on those hopeless third down and forever draw plays that Williams was asked to run over and over? Fortunately, Levy and the coaching staff know an excellent player when they see one. Unfortunately, not too many posters on this board do. Sorry folks if you disagree with me but this was a no brainer.

However, he just isn't pro material! C'mon man, you're partial because he played for the Tide! If you were really honest with yourself, you'd admit that he is practice squad at best!
Anon Y. Mous Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 in my opinion there isn't a better rb to put in on a third down situation to solidify a punt on fourth down.

It was either Shaud or Smith, IMO, and they already had 6 WRs and only 2 RBs. 760444[/snapback] Shaud would very likely be the third PR behind Parrish and Clements and the third KR behind McGee and Davis. He's simply not needed at all in the return game and he doesn't add much in coverage.

/dev/null Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 i must be in the minority here, but i actually like Shaud Williams and think he's a good RB
Trip Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 i must be in the minority here, but i actually like Shaud Williams and think he's a good RB 760529[/snapback] Well I agree with you that he's a decent RB and that's why he's on the team. He's fine as a 3rd teamer, no upside really but he can come in and add a spark with quickness. I disagree with those that say he made it because of his special teams ability. He adds nothing to special teams. Just because you can stick him back there returning kickoffs or punts doesn't mean he's any good at it.
Fan in San Diego Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 My preference was Gates over Williams based on pre-season games that I watched. Maybe Williams brings a better ST angle than Gates ?
LabattBlue Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 No, Shaud washes Chuck Lester's car. He's the guy who REALLY runs the show. 760439[/snapback] Chuck Lester doesn't have time to mentor Shaud Williams. Coy is a full time project for him and it looks like one again Chuck has done a fine job.
/dev/null Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 No, Shaud washes Chuck Lester's car. He's the guy who REALLY runs the show. 760439[/snapback] Shaud has blackmail photos of Chuck's brother Moe
