Maturation of Terrance Williams

NeonDeion21 · Sep 24, 2015

One area in which Terrance Williams has really improved his ability to read defenses. When we hear about someone being able to read a defense, we always think about quarterbacks. But receivers not only need to know how to decipher differences in man and zone coverage, but also how to alter their routes depending on if a defense blitzes or not. On the Cowboys final scoring drive, Philadelphia decided to bring six rushers on 3rd and 11. Williams recognized the blitz altered his route:

Instead of running the designed route (I’m not sure what it was), Williams checked to a hot-route and decided to run a quick slant to get in the middle of the field. On the surface, Williams’ route may look sloppy and not-crisp, but in reality, it’s what he’s suppose to do. Williams is not longer concerned about getting to the correct depth to run his route, he’s just looking to get open as fast as he can so that the quarterback can have a viable target. Even a step slow or another up-field allows for the rush to get to Brandon Weeden and the Cowboys are forced to punt, now down 10.

Good analysis again. However, for the second time I've made the mistake of clicking on a link on the page you sent us to and it tried to lock up my Safari. Sending me a warning about the site not being safe.

This time I clicked on the picture image link in the article.

Sigh... I'll fix it. Thanks for letting me know. It's just a spam popup ad. I'll have them remove it.

When is Twills contract up? Someone is going to pay him way, way too much;

Mods, what is this word maturization? Is it allowed here in this sanctified realm?

Who is this Alan Harper and can he play QB?

I think he's Alvin Harper's brother...never amounted to anything, though. Otherwise, you would know who Alan is.

I never understood the Williams hate. Some people are just dead set on irrationally hating someone.

if they aren't a superstar people hate them for not being good enough.
if they are a superstar people hate them for a multitude of reasons.
fans are fickle, and oftentimes, dumb.

Twill has really developed into a nice #2
Learning to read defenses is so important and hard to do
That's not something many learn in college but is very important in this offense
You have to be on the same page as the QB or a play can go south very fast
I suspect twill will be hard to keep

Charlie's brother on 2 1/2 men as played by Jon Cryer.

I think this offense's best chance of scoring will be from outside the 20, so we'll need more of those kinds of plays where T-Dub makes the sight adjustment and Weeden is on the same page.

He had that game sealing TD, but I have been disappointed in TW so far. He has little ability to go up and get anything contested.

Yes he did but it was called back on a holding penalty

Only when they can't play (Ben Gardner) people love them.

IMO he's a good #2 WR only in his 3rd year. He's not a stud, but he's good and improving.

I like Williams a lot however I need to see him take over a game. He drops too many easy passes for my liking.
