I hope they give him more than six snaps this game. There's no way the jags we got on this dline are beating him out for playing time, if so that's a huge issue.
I'm clearing the bidness

He may get a few more simply because Basham is out.

Just a reminder: Never let pre-season game performances over-hype your expectations for rookies. Williams has a ton of upside. But only about 10% percent of NFL rookies have immediate big impact. When they’re playing in August, it’s almost always against guys that won’t be in the NFL for long if at all.

He will play more as the season goes along. I expect him to have some impact by November. But he has a ton of things to learn. Patience required.

Quit trying to make us a more level-headed fanbase bubba.
You're fighting a losing battle and @Reality needs rabidity in this web-space!

With great talents like Tarell Basham rotating at DE SW was lucky to get a snap. Now Tarell is hurt so Sam will somehow have to fill that void.

You’ll be lucky if this doesn’t land you on my **** list!
That won't do it.
We're brothers-in-arms and you are mi capitan.
Been that way for years.

I may have to hang off a coast guard boat and chip away at the shallow ice sheet while tied to a rope to make it up to you, but I've done that before (decades ago) so whatevs is whatevs,

You're my dude.
You and a few others.
@ScipioCowboy is one of them.
Because he's a magnificent weirdo who's not a weirdo.

Parse that one out.
I know I won't.

Doesn’t say much for your second round pick when they only get six snaps and your third round pick who plays a position of great need doesn’t even suit for the game. They talked these players up during camp so maybe we were being fed BS. To be honest I wasn’t overly impressed with Sam Williams during preseason. Hopefully he gets a few more snaps tomorrow.

He looked pretty good, he just wasn't quite getting to the QB. But he kept containment pretty well while trying.

I honestly didn’t even notice him out there last week. Some fans were predicting double digit sacks for him. He was even being compared with Parsons by a few on the board. lol One concern with him is his ability to stop the run. It’s still real early so let’s see if he gets more snaps tomorrow.
