Nope, just sayin' that Levi lies at the feet of Grimm.
OT Good job, rest of the draft brain trust. Good work. OT off.

Ryan Williams, can't wait to see him come back in a blaze of glory. Let's go!! woo hoo.

Nickname that Stepfan Taylor gave himself in some satirical youtube videos that he did while at Stanford that K9 dug up right after the draft.

Oh yeah, thought it sounded familiar. Couldn't place it though. Man I'm getting old.

Thanks

Nashville TN.
I could care less about his pay and I understand he will get a chance and if he can play in SD maybe he is worth keeping.

I am simply stating that if he cant get his act together, some of those guys can still play and are ready to go and at this point would take the vet minimum.

Pay is the last thing on my mind. we have 2 rookies and two RBs with injury history. I dont want to watch another game with two tiny backs who cant handle the NFL attempting to run the rock. those games where we had only powell and LSH were excruciating.

Couldn't agree more. We have to be able to run the ball some or forget it.

Lil Sweetness has to be the most comically bad nickname of all time at this point, right?

I'm pretty aware of what it takes to compete at the NFL level. I just doubt--based on the evidence that's been presented--that Ryan Williams has what it takes--either mentally or physically.

I'm sure that for a period of time he really, really wanted to make it at the NFL level. I'm just not sure if struggling for three years hasn't taken that out of him.

Well - he has made the team and according to Ariens, will be a big factor in the run game.
I would say he has shown considerable heart and has demonstrated the mental and physical toughness to more than adequately compete at the NFL level...

You seem pretty easily convinced by a mediocre performance against Denver's third string. Looked slow in the lower gear of preseason. Glad Steve Keim endorsed a second round pick who might be a #3 back in the NFL.

He mostly ran the ball forward in the design of the offense and didn't get injured. This is a huge improvement.

With the health history of the other backs I don't see how they can't keep 5 backs.

The O-Line that he played with was also 2-3 string... looked comfortable, and glad he will be around...Potential is worth the chance, and Mendenhall seems to have a questionable knee as well

Barring any further injuries, I believe RW will be our #2 behind Mendenhall. And given the fact that Mendenhall's knee seems to be a real issue/concern, RW should see bigtime minutes throughout the season. If he does, I think there is a very real chance that he will perform his way into the #1 position.

I agree. No question on his talent. It's his durability that he will need to prove.

I thought he looked quick and shifty. If hes healthy I would prefer him as our #2 over taylor and fonzo.
