youngestson Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 He was an 85 in Madden for Jacksonville with a 97 strength Not that it matters but he still has talent. I can't argue with the talent... it's the performance. If talent were the only factor Michael Westbrook would have been an all pro. Again, I hope he works out, I just don't think it's going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gutlead74 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 man it would be awesome if he works out. i really like mike better than bidges for the simple character issues. Mike has a great personality as well, however as sanchez will teach us that means jack on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandman69 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I saw some video of him on Redskins Nation the other day, and I have to say... I am SHOCKED out how dainty his footwork was for such a huge man...It was almost comical seeing this behemoth tiptoe-ing over the pads so quickly... :laugh: I saw those clips on the tube as well. I couldn't believe how fast he was moving through them. Impressive... Can't wait till June! Go Mike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Assuming Williams can get down to 365-370 the question in my mind is why wouldn't the Redskins consider him at OG? He still seems like a longer shot outside at OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laxpunk2006 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Assuming Williams can get down to 365-370 the question in my mind is why wouldn't the Redskins consider him at OG?He still seems like a longer shot outside at OT. I'm no OL coach but I would assume his ability to play in space/pull would have a lot to do with it. For a guy that big it's going to be hard enough to play 60 snaps or so game without having to pull and try to lead block on sweeps/counters. I'd also think his height would be an issue. He's listed at 6-6 on NFL.com but every picture/shot I've seen of him from minicamp he looks like a giant. The taller you are the more difficult it is to get low against DT's. Plus OT is the spot we need immediate help so he has a beetter shot at actually taking a starting job, which is what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gutlead74 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 what i dont understand is why everyone assumes the guard is the primary puller. in the packer sweep or buck sweep they are. the counter trey involves the backside guard & tackle both pull, in Gibbs' outside zone whomever has the angle to block down does and the next one over pulls. in a true inside zone scheme "gut" you want a big powerful guard so you can get movement on the massive DTs, in a Shannahan outside zone everyone just reach blocks, in a sense everyone is pulling. in a toss situation usually its just the playside tackle that pulls everyone else reaches. the notion that a big guard wont work due to pulling is relative to scheme, see leonard davis.

HighOnHendrix Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 the notion that a big guard wont work due to pulling is relative to scheme, see leonard davis. I think that is the exception to the rule, rather than the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM916 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 He was an 85 in Madden for Jacksonville with a 97 strength Not that it matters but he still has talent. I actually got a starting Left Tackle under similar circumstances in Madden '07 many years down the road. Samuels was just about done and I brought in a failed 1st rounder from another team in free agency who had actually dropped to around 80 as a project. After a year or two as a backup, he won the job along with a super bowl and lived up to his raw pottential. My own 1st round tackle I drafted to replace Samuels ended up as that guy's backup. I really think Williams has a legit shot to contribute if he keeps it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 the biggest obstacles to Mike Williams making the Redskins and contributing in 2009 are #1 endurance and #2 durability. I am confident Williams can continue to lose weight and get close to the 360 mark the team has set for him. What I am less confident of is that Williams can hold up physically at 360 at age 29/30 over a 16 game schedule. Williams is the type of player you worry about getting leg/knee injuries due to the weight he is carrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CounterTrey75 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I just talked with my brother-in-law who is his wife's hair stylist. She said he's down to 375. He's determined to meet his goal. Edit: I guess he met his goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROSCOUT Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Its not uncommon for a huge offensive lineman to lose 10 pounds on the first day of camp in August. They sweat so much. If Williams is down to 370 by camp, he will lose another 20 pounds in August...so he should be fine. I am worried about Fat Albert. His weight is going in the opposite direction.
