Watched the Thursday night game again and Williams is pretty much a badass.

I agree. He has moves, quicks and toughness. If there is a hole he will hit it and do it with authority.

K.W. was PFW's #8 running back in their 2013 draft preview guide. They had high praise for him and considered him a 4th or 5th round prospect. He sat behind Robert Turbin before getting his chance his senior year at Utah State. Did a lot of kickoff returns as a freshman and sophomore.

Not sure where he's been the past two years, but he's a godsend in the wake of Duke's season-ending injury.

Exactly. This is what we have been missing before KW got in there- hitting the holes hard and fighting for extra yards. I am just waiting for him to hurt someone when he drives hard into the defenders!

What I will say about Williams is that he seems to hit the LOS hard. He is at a full run in a few steps and is pushing through the line. If there is a hole, he takes off, if not he gets a couple yards in momentum. I think this will work out until he has his first serious injury, then he may turn gun-shy. Hopefully, he ducks that injury and he can be really, really good.

I like the split use of Williams/Taylor. BA should have used Ellington/Taylor like that and Ellington may still be on the field IMO.

Williams is a real find, so far, we'll see where it goes. But the kid has shown some good running skills the last 2 games.

Thats what I don't understand. Why is he now using him more when he had the chance when Ellington was still on the field.

I still want to see Grice and Hughes get a few touches a game to. Really mix it up.

I don't get the use of Hughes. He's a big guy who has shown some really decent speed when he caught passes.

I think Ellington was a ticking bomb that the staff was waiting to go off. Also, it sounds like the only reason Williams has gotten a shot is his practice work. I would guess no one really showed out while Ellington was healthy.

Williams is the real deal.

What is Williams contract situation?

What is Williams contract situation?

Two year deal with no guaranteed money and is a ERFA in 2016, so he can be had for two more seasons at the minimum.

(ERFA= Exclusive Rights Free Agent - Teams only need to offer them a minimum terms one year contract and they are under contract to the team.)
