Amazing quote from Aeneas

[jw7]

"When I was traded here (to the Rams), our first practice, and I’ll never forget this, we’re playing the Cover 2 defense in practice and I am the rollup corner, so my coverage area would be the flat and I would also have to alter if they ran a deep corner route behind me," Williams said. "Prior to me coming here, I could tell whether quarterbacks were throwing in the flat or throwing behind me. I can remember the first day of practice and it took me a little while to realize, I could not tell and it was very difficult to stop the route behind me because I had no idea initially of seeing any distinction of the level of his shoulders. Typically, when a ball is thrown deeper, the quarterback's shoulders are tilted. With Kurt, that wasn’t the case. That was when I began understanding the difference between the average and great quarterbacks."

Little things like the level of Warners shoulders, (and the ability of defenders like Williams to see those little things), are what separate the journeyman player from the Pro-Bowler, Hall of Fame Contender that both of these guys are. It might be the tiniest of things, but it is huge in guaging the success of each of them in their own play.

I still find it funny how most of the general public still believe Warner was made by his supporting cast because of his average year at the Giants due to injury. This quote just proves even more that Warner wasn't made by his supporting cast.

Like Catfish said, the article not only illustrates the differences between average and great in a QB like Warner, but also in a CB.

Aeneas Williams was a great also!

Hopefully, we'll see both making speeches in front of the HOF someday. Would it not be awesome if both went in the same year? I might have to travel to Ohio if that happened.

Interesting. I wonder how much Warner's weird giant shoulder pads affect things.

"level shoulders" is also a Mike Martz thing

he really harps on fundamentals

I wish he could have passed this little tidbit on to Matt before he retired.

 

[lauraw]

Maybe he tried to...

 

[ARZCardinals]

Williams was an ELITE CB - for him to say he could not read Kurt is a wonderful compliment.

Maybe he did!

And to think our current DB's can't even figure out where the ball is until they are chasing down the WR...

Maybe another reason to consider Bulger as an option for bringing as QB backup to ML
