I was wrong about this player

Another strong outing from J. Williams tonight. I really like the way he fits into this offense.

Still a lot of season left, but if he can stay healthy, it might be worth looking at extending him beyond the one-year deal.

Javanote is a beast .

I did. He's running exactly like his scouting report said he would, exactly as he did before injury, and exactly as to be expected the 3rd year after surgery.

Williams is a much better inside runner than MBIII ever dreamed of being.

He def sees the lane and mauls a couple boys when he can. The dallascowboys.com writers were talking like he was washed back in training camp, talkin' like Sanders looked better. Most around here were just making "All In" jokes, etc when we signed him.

I’m glad to say that I was wrong in my pre-season evaluation of what we had in FA RB Javonte Williams. I believed going into this season that he was a below average NFL RB on the downside of his career due to his bad knee injury two years ago. I was wrong.

Javonte Williams has been a very effective RB for this team early in this season. So far in three games this year, he is ranked 8th in rushing yards. Here are his stats:

• 43 carries for 227 yards (8th in the NFL)
• Averaging 5.3 yards per carry
• Has 3 rushing TDs in 3 games
• Averaging 75.7 yards per game
• 14 of his 43 carries have resulted in first downs (2nd in the NFL)
• He also has 11 receptions for 49 yards. (Not a great avg but still effective)
• His combined yards per game avg is 92 yards per game.

What surprised me most with Williams is his power and ability to shed tacklers. Now he is probably not a 20 carries a game workhorse. But he has proven so far that he is a good option in the running game.

If the Cowboys can avoid getting behind two scores, Williams can be an excellent weapon. If the defense continues to be hot garbage, Williams effectiveness will be reduced. It’s hard to run the ball consistently when you’re down 2-3 scores like we were in Chicago.

I’m happy to say I was wrong about Javonte Williams.

i had heard several accounts of reporters reporting on ACL's it takes minimum 2 years to really return????....what ever that is good for?
