This whole defense has exciting young guys, and williams is at the top of the list

The last 2 years have been great, and this coming year should be better

The boys at that local radio station with Broaddus discussed whether Sam Williams could end up being the 2nd best defender on the team this year and surprisingly a couple of them thought it was possible.

If so Micah being no better than 3rd warrants a trade.

The issue with Sam Williams is maturity and intelligence not talent.

I don't trust him. I think he'll always be his worst enemy. Kind of like Gregory.

Everything I have read and heard this off season sounds like the light has come on for Williams. I loved this draft pick and it looks like he is ready to constantly make plays for the defense. The possibility we dreamed of with Micah on one side and Sam on the other is about to come true. We are going to love the defense this year. DQ has to be going crazy waiting for the season to start.

I'd slide Tank inside on passing downs
What do you think about golstons playing time and downs? He seems to need playing time as well

I see all these guys play, but my data bank on formations, downs, and how they are used is empty

a great problem to have so deep in talent that some cant get snaps ..been a while on D to say this.. we are stacked.. no longer worried that if Dlaw goes down we have drop off betwen sam, fowler, Armstrong, Gholston, and some new rooks its like next man up will be very little drop off.

This team rotates their DL. Wouldn't be an issue. Plus two years ago, remember Micah came from everywhere. Even lined up over Center standing up a bunch. They also move their Des inside on 3rd and long. Just keep bringing them in waves...

He really showed some flashes last season, but disappeared later in the season. Hopefully he makes a big jump this season. He has the potential to be a great player.

I'm going crazy waiting too. It's just June too . . .:banghead:

I want to see how DQ handles the RPO (specifically Jalen Hurts) that gave us, Micah, problems in that first Philthy game last year. Hell, I just want to see this D play some shut-down football !

Dangit, I'm gettin all hyperventilatin' now. I love good defensive football . We gots us some defensive dawgs and I want to see 'em eat!

GO COWBOYS !

Last year the 2nd unit on the DL got gash a bit, but this season there's not going to be much of a drop off at all. Golston is very valuable for holding the Edge vs run heavy teams, while kicking inside at 3T and being able to stop the run there also.

Sam Williams was a monster last season he just didn't get substantial reps to be recognized nationally. This season with more maturity in the scheme and knowledge of the pro game I look for Sam to take off to 8+ sacks.
