bigyim Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 The Skins front office once again short don't invest in the O-line. Even if Mike Williams works out, it doesn't mean it was the right thing to do. It means they got lucky. Most teams that stay competitive keep their O-line up to par. The Skins these days don't do that. I can'r believe tehy would let Jansen go, not knowing what Milliams can do. We all know that Heyer isn't particularly strong run blocking. Jansen was older but played hurt the last 2 years. So they're gambling on Mike Williams over Jon Jansen? I like some others just hope this season turns out different. I don't even get all pumped up to get let down. The "gamble" is Heyer over Jansen. The backup is Bridges, and the "what the Hell" flyer is Williams. Remeber, they saw enough from Heyer to make him the starter over Jansen last year...Heyer only lost the starting job due to injury, a 6-2 start and an offense that needed to be run-heavy to give them the best chance to win. However, WCOs aren't traditionally run-oriented like Washington's attack was last year...the best WCO coorinators consider the short pass almost as effective as a running game. The old saying is to "pass to set up the run". If Zorn's version of the WCO is going to get it's training wheels off thi year, it has to get the right personnel on the field. While you may think Heyer isn't part of the "right personnel", the Washington brass has been consistent in asserting that it's definitely not Jansen, either.

SkinsTribeVA Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Didnt see this posted but Big Mike is at 365 pounds and on his way to working out in Arizona. He will probably be at 350 by the start of training camp. I saw that. I've been entertained by this story all along, but I can't believe he's already down to 365!! This actually might get intriguing during training camp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Acre Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Mike Williams is 1/8th Cherokee. What? Not enough to fill him up? I know he's got an appetite, but let's be realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dellman Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 The difference of course being: that the title of the thread clearly let you know that this was about continuous updates about Mike Williams (giving you plenty of chance to avoid reading them if uninterested), however it gave me no clear warning of a wierdo posting to complain about what he should have known was in the thread before even entering it, and using scatological reference to pleasure himself.... Now **** off already.... While some of the other members found my post humorous during our "down" times here in Redskins land, you found them extremely agitating. Curious that you would mention seeking mental health help in your reference to me. Perhaps it is you that is taking things a bit too seriously and might I suggest some anger management classes. It may help you to not take your problems out on others. Just calm down and cease and desist with the heavy attitude and insults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polywog999 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Dellman, you really need to grow up. Your references to medication and mental health as a way to belittle people are highly offensive.

MARK PHILLIPS Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Just saw on Redskins Nation, Vinny said Mike Williams was down to 364 as of 6/25/09. He is currently in Arizona training along with Samuels(Vinny said Samuels down to 18% body fat,looking good), Dockery, and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MassSkinsFan Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I dont see us rotating linemen. Coaches seem to like the continuity thing on the offensive line. I personally dont. Almost every other position on the team has fresh guys rotating in. Joe Gibbs for one despised injuries on the offensive line because it disrupted continuity. But our offensive line is aging and somewhat injury prone. Samuels Thomas and even Heyer seem to get nicked up every year. I would love to see a big Mike Williams sighting on 3rd and short or in goal line situations, but we just love Yoder and Alexander over that monster OL. Look at what Baltimore did to us in short yardage. I hope Zorn follows their lead and starts being a bit more dynamic on offense. We were too predictable last year, and getting a Mike Williams type into the game (um not sure if he is a run or pass guy yet :doh:) catering to his strengths would be a welcome sight. Go hurry up for once mid game; go with your pass blocking studs, change it up Zorn. Hopefully Mike Williams will help solve our line woes. \I don't know how it is for other positions, because I only ever played OL and some DL, but on OL continuity is a pretty good thing, since you know how your teammate on either side will react in the event something doesn't go according to plan. Also, when is does go per the plan, you know right where they'll be and just what they'll be doing. This predictability helps you play a bit better. It's hard to describe, but at times it's like you can use each other to cover more ground as a unit because you're all aware of each other's presence. Can anyone put this better (if you know what I mean)? That said, some substitution is fine, and with our OL situation and recent history, it would be good to do some subbing to help spell guys so we're fresh later in the year.

dellman Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Dellman, you really need to grow up. Your references to medication and mental health as a way to belittle people are highly offensive.No one is forcing you to be here. Act like you are an adult. Please. And you should act like you can read. I never mentioned "mental health" in my original post. The person who RESPONDED to me was the one who used the term mental health. Go back and read the original post by mercuryrising. That is the person who said that I should check into a mental health facility if I had scatalogical problems or whatever that crap is he said. You seem to have the same problem as he does as well. You attack, then give advice that we are all just posting here in the friendly confines of a forum and if somebody doesn't like what they read, then don't come here. Great advice. Why don't you take it? Whats the matter with you anyway? Seems like you and mercury rising are both coming here to cause trouble and attack people who don't agree with your philosophy. In fact, I believe that you and mercury rising may be the same person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyDave Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I didnt think this was a political forum.....but just to correct you.....Obama is a Republican in Democratic clothing. Stop inferring that he is socialist...with all these bailouts of big companies and not giving money to the poor and middle class, he is as capitalistic as W....Now back to Williams....He is a waist....waste of a place on the roster. He is heavy and never shown the talent he showed in college. Incredibly wrong and lacking knowledge on both topics. And the first part should be in another forum.

DGREENHULK Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 It does make you think if Heyer was the answer why would ES have an official Mike Williams Thread. Buges knows there is a 1st Round player under all that fat....and he is determined to get to that player. Watch out for Mike Williams he will make the team bank on it.

Buges knows there is a 1st Round player under all that fat....and he is determined to get to that player. Watch out for Mike Williams he will make the team bank on it. I think he will make the team as well, but that might be more of because we dont have a ton of guys who will beat him out. If this turns into a big discussion this might be better suited in its own thread: Heres the starters as is: Samuels, Dock, Rabach, Thomas, Heyer You gotta figure Rinehart makes it. Maybe another 2-4 guys on the line as depth. So who get it between the following: Montgomery, Mike Williams, Edwin Williams, Riley, Clark, Burley, Bridges, and Batiste. Gotta figure Bridges will make it cause he can swing G and T. So that leaves a bunch of question marks along with Mike Williams. Buges likes Vets so maybe that hurts the younger guys though I wouldnt call a guy whos been out of the league exactly seasoned. Anyways, Im rambling as usual. I think the depth guys will be Mike Williams, Bridges, and Ed Williams, maybe with one of the other guys thrown in there. Im hoping he can get in on those short yardage situations at least.
