Williams was healthy all of last year, and the year before. He didn't play his last year in Arizona, he was a healthy scratch, so his injury history consists of a blown patellar tendon and a bum shoulder his first two years, (I think that how I saw it). The kid had all last year on the practice squad to learn the blitz pick ups, you would think he would at least get the benefit of the doubt that he learned something about blitz pick up. Randle was not much better at picking up the blitz and Dunbar was worse, but they were better at special teams than Williams, and that's why they made the 53. It was not because of blitz pick up or that they were better runners.
Perhaps he is injury prone, but the same could of been said of Murray before last year, that is no reason to give up on a player. I think that Williams is the best pure running back on the team right now and I hope he proves it. I don't understand the mentality that some folks here have, that he may be the best runner on the team, but is he can't pass block, he can't make the team. I wonder what these same folks would say if Peterson was acquired and turned out that he Randle and Dunbar were better pass blockers than Peterson, would they want him cut?
