I thought he was decent at what he did. He was never meant to be a feature back but he filled in OK.

in other non news, I ate a granola bar.

The problem with Williams is that he can ONLY run the football. He's a horrid blocker (remember that kick block where he was leveled? I think it was the Pats game) and can't catch a lick. He doesn't do well on special teams. He's a pretty one dimensional player, but he's not even great at his one dimension. Unless he's your lead back, he's a liability at everything else.

I saw this too. Happy for him. I’m not sure how anyone here could be less than appreciative of his play. Dude ALWAYS answered the bell for us. We had backup and third string qb’s under center with teams stacking the box because we were zero threat to throw and he was still making things happen. I’ll always root for Kerwynn.

Kerwynn was a good back!

Glad he’s still getting a chance to be singed, cut, re-signed, re-cut, re-re-signed, re-re-cut, and re-re-re-signed to start the final two games of the season.

Kerwynn makes sense as he provides some depth, but everyone here already knows that they signed Andre Ellington, right??

That is the head scratcher...

One can run and the other can catch.

 

[DutchmanAZ]

Didn’t he play with cracked ribs last year? Or am I confusing him with another back?

 

[Dback Jon]

One can run and the other can catch.

BA the mad scientist is going to splice them together and create Andre Williams. Or is it Kerwynn Ellington?

 

[Finito]

This is kind of what led to BA’s downfall he’s loyal to a fault

First year with new team...he needs people —at least in camp and preseason—who understand his calls and system.

Kerwynn can catch too!!

Ridiculous for anyone to hate on a guy who worked hard for us and is getting another opportunity to continue his career.

Why do people here hate on guys so much? So KW wasn't a 1,000 yard back, so Drew Stanton wasn't a #1 QB. They came in, did their jobs, and helped us win some games. Best of luck to Kerwynn and those around him.

 

[Jetstream Green]

Williams is a good back and I still think he provides the same running advantages, if not more than Edmunds... sucks when you are not drafted in the first couple of rounds and you are a solid player and people constantly take advantage of you because you have no acknowledged props

 

[DutchmanAZ]

He was/is one tough pain tolerating SOB and always ran hard. Good luck KW.

Why do you hate on the Cardinals starting Quarterback?

What downfall? Bruce went 8-8 with Drew Stanton and Blaine Gabbert starting a ton of games and David Johnson starting 1 game.

I bet Arians wins more games than Kingsbury this year.

Just because I don't think he'll be a success doesn't mean I don't root for the guy to succeed in life. There's a lot worse people in the NFL. Unless Murray trash talks us or breaks the law, I'll wish him the best in baseball.

I wish the current group of backups the Cards have could generate the yardage he did. He was a solid backup, which is becoming a scarce commodity if SK is to be believed.

Eh, I really think Edmunds is going to surprise you this season. Honestly, after Kirk, he’s the sophomore player I expect to make a good leap.

To be fair, the only game Chase Edmonds could get going, he did.

I agree. Loved BA's overall approach to the game (no risk it, no biscuit), but he always tried to get just a little too cute. I think that Keim's reaches for small school draft picks may have had BA's fingerprints all over them. I love an arrogant approach, but he took it too far the last couple years.

I agree. Edmunds was the ONLY reason we beat the Packers in GB. I think he'll be a surprise weapon in KK's system.

Maybe not downfall but the reason he’s not the coach anymore
