Javonte Williams fully healthy

[Pass2Run]

Rico was GOOD.

Not that good.

How many runs over 20?

How many TDs?

 

[Pass2Run]

Rico was dam good once the O line started blocking.
Sanders and Williams are not near as good as Rico!
We should have resigned him for a very reasonable 3-4 million per year.

Compared to Zeke he was damn good. But he really wasn't all that great compared to what Dallas has had for starters in different eras.

It wasn't a clean tear, from what I read it usually takes 2 years to return to close to 95-100%... if you can at all.

He may not get back to his 2nd round grade but It should not surprise to see him improve from last year

I had a severed Achilles tendon to my right leg when I was a much younger man. It took me a year to get rid of my limp and two years before I could jog, much less run full blast. I'm in my 80s now.

It takes time and plenty of it, for serious injuries like that to fully heal. Of course, a decade later, such injuries were handled somewhat more successfully.

Maybe, these days, two years would be sufficient to heal enough to return to playing condition. It tends to vary with different individuals.

 

[BHendri5]

Intrigued. But cautious. Not sure what to expect but what a pleasant surprise if we can get the player Broncos thought they were getting before injury.

get the player the Broncos got, he was a legit draft pick but injuries has hampered his career.

 

[BHendri5]

Rico was GOOD.

Rico was no where near Williams when Williams was coming out of college.

 

[Ironicalicon]

Not that good.

How many runs over 20?

How many TDs?

I'm just talking about his ability to consistently get 4-5 yards. Not much a third level threat but he would've had more TDs if the offense was better in the red zone, I imagine.

 

[Bullflop]

The C'boys might be well advised to limit Williams' carries enough to avoid additional injuries.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

If Deuce makes the roster that is all we will need to know about our FO and our RB talent

LOL

 

[shabazz]

IF Blue and/or Mafah impress Jerry Jones early, one or both will receive significant playing time sooner than later.

Yup, it all depends on how Coach Jones views both of those backs.

This exactly why this organization is the laughing stock of sports media and the rest of NFL fans.

The fact that we as fans now assign how much playing time a player receives because of a meddling owner speaks volumes

Williams is fully healthy 3 years removed now form his injuries.
And he is ready to go prove himself and produce for the offense.

Also on this link is a slideshow of 55 photographs from the OTA's.

Is he in the best shape of his life?

No one’s said that this year that I’ve heard. You making stuff up again?

It’s coming. It happens yearly.

Pretty important because the season is going to hinge on the running game and he's the most complete back they have. Sanders is washed up and Blue supposedly is not good in pass protection and has had fumble issues. The rest of the RB are just backups.

While Williams, Lueple, Mafa all probably better than Blue at pass pro, his ability to line up in slot still makes him a value on 3rd downs.

 

[Gambit]

Remember the “Moose” calls back in the early 90’s everytime Daryl Johnston carried the ball or caught a pass? His biggest value however was lead blocking for #22. I can’t wait for the “Luepke” calls when he does the same for Javonte or the Blue rookie.

Does Klayton use FBs in that role? Honest question.

 

[DuncanIso]

Rico was GOOD.

His 40 time was not so good.

I think the lack of speed was his downfall.

Sub 4.6

Sorry, I'm just not as excited about any of the older/veteran RBs coming off of injuries and from other teams as I am with our young, talented and injury-free RBs.

 

[Rockport]

Does Klayton use FBs in that role? Honest question.

Dunno. No one knows what they’re going to roll out on Sept. 4th.

 

[JoeKing]

I believe Williams and Blue will be our two main RBs this season.

 

[Bamx]

I believe Williams and Blue will be our two main RBs this season.

If Williams does/or comes close to what he did during his rookie year I'll agree with you. If he produces like he did last year he should be benched until further notice.

 

[plasticman]

The first place he can prove himself is the preseason. I would think that a former 35th overall pick in the draft should dominate for a few quarters.

Then again, another positive scenario would be for Williams to dominate in practice to the degree that the coaches don't want to risk him in preseason games.

That last scenario would have to be so obvious that everyone reports this.

In any case, the competition at RB is going to be very interesting this training camp. I hope to see a couple really separate themselves from the rest early
