Question for those who saw entire game - Sam Williams observation

[cnuball21]

I won't start a whole thread , but i'm not trying to hijack yours but can we get some Dante Fowler Love up in here? Dude is Ballin

Fowler has been a great situational pass rusher. Doing his job!

 

[Silverz1972]

That’s a bad man.

He was Ballin yesterday. Needs to be on the field more

I’m not just talking about what the NFL.Com scouting report says, I’m talking about what other analysts were saying who do this for a living. They understand what his role was in college.

And yes, I 100% trust my eyes as well. I agree, he’s a stud chasing down RBs from the backside when he isn’t blocked I just want to see him beat OTs. We haven’t yet aside from 1 yesterday against a backup who had a PFF grade of 30 for the game.

Are you seriously telling me you havent seen Sam shove an OT into the RB or QB yet???

And he's destroying TE's because he plays 4-3 DE and opposing teams are doubling Parsons or Tank.

I'm not certain you understand the huge range of difference between 5 technique and 9 technique.

But I'm done, you can believe what you like.

Of course, since CBS pulled the game I missed the last 20 min or so. I was hoping Sam Williams would join in on the sack party but I see where he had 2 tackles for losses. Was it a fluke? Is it just me, but it seems that he has been surprisingly stout in run defense.

He should be starting at Mike. Get him on the field TONS MORE than he has been.

HE JUST MAKES PLAYS.

Williams is a strong mutha...He pushes huge guys back into the QB or RB, and when he gets his hands on someone, he's like a pitbull with a bone.

What happened to Parsons, it said online that he got injured after they switched games on us. Anyone know what happened, is it bad, is he ok?

He came up limping, but in spite of so many of us yelling at the TV to rest him, he came back in and continued to cause havoc.

In pass rushing yes, he’s had some outstanding bull rushes where’s he’s dumped the OT into the QBs lap which was awesome.

And I’m saying things based on what I’ve seen not just on what I believe. I’ve watched every game and have tried to dig up clips but haven’t seen anything telling me otherwise yet.

Sam Williams is the real deal; I would say he is a player you can build around.

He is outstanding and it isn't a fluke to me.

So you can’t show me…only “tell” me. Got it.

Hey nutball, show all the plays he whiffed on.

Who said anything about whiffing? Not me.

 

[beware_d-ware]

Agree that Williams isn't a good run defender right now, but as a pass rusher, he is doing stuff that is just abnormal for a 2nd round rook. His pass rush production per snap isn't far off from Parsons.

Someone in a different thread compared him to Frank Clark, and I really like it.

Not sure why questioning the run D is blasphemy on here…just want to see the dude get off blocks.

Regardless, on a positive he appears to have the size / length / power and demeanor to be a good run defender I just want to see it. Also it helps that the pass rush potential looks high.

Said all his great plays were unblocked, which is obviously not true. Also a dumb point. Show me his unblocked plays. Also show me his mistakes.

Just look up his TFLs and see for yourself. As mentioned, chasing down RBs from the backside unblocked and beating TEs. 1 good play against a backup LT against MN.

 

[Proof]

He had one play where he chased the RB down from the back side unblocked.

I’m yet to see him actually get off blocks though and prove his scouting report wrong about his run playing ability. My guess is this is why he isn’t starting.

did you even watch the video ?

 

[Proof]

Williams has been super productive for being on such limited snaps (only 21.5% of team’s total defensive snaps).

3 sacks
7 TFL
1 FF
2 FR
6 QB hits

damn!

The one from Baldy? Yea, and I commented on it.

It matches up to exactly what I’ve been saying.

yeah i saw the rest of your comments after replying. third play he fought off a block beautifully. I guess you qualified it as “against a backup” but my response was to you saying you’d never seen him do it
