Jason Williams Exclusive Interview

By dcfanatic, July 21, 2009 6:17 pm

This afternoon I had an opportunity to interview Cowboys rookie LB Jason Willams about being a rookie, Wade Phillips and his role on the team in 2009.
Here’s what the Cowboys first pick in the 2009 NFL draft had to say…

When the Cowboys drafted Williams many fans had already handed him the Nickel LB job which I thought was a little crazy considering he hadn’t even been fitted for his helmet yet.

With his size and speed he’s going to make his mark in 2009 on special teams more than on defense. That’s not a knock on him at all. I just think this coaching staff is finally going to give Bobby Carpenter the opportunity to find a role on this defense as the Nickel LB.

Now this isn’t to say that if Williams comes out and is playing lights out football that he doesn’t just take the job from Carpenter.

The best thing about all this is that Williams will create some competition for Carpenter and that’s always a good thing.

I can’t wait to see #58 coming down on a punt return and drop somebody who’s sitting there waiting for one of McBriar’s bombs to fall from the sky.

Once this happens I will have that thing on Youtube in about 8 seconds, lol.

Thanks to Jason for hooking us up with an interview and we hope to talk to him a few more times this season.

Home run stuff, dcfanatic. Absolute aces. :worthy2:

 

[zrinkill]

Great stuff man

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Good job, man.

Not sure how you get a hold of these guys, but could you try getting one with Butler? He just seems like such a good guy and smart guy, I bet he'd be a great interview.

 

[jobberone]

Get all the rooks then start on the rest. Please.

 

[Silverstar]

I hope he does more than get his feet wet this season. I wanna see some FF, FR, PB's and more with that 4.4 speed he's bringing.

 

[dcfanatic]

Good job, man.

Working on it.

CL, got a specific question for him?

 

[Rampage]

Working on it.

Victor, expound on the greatness of Wade Phillips...



Really though, I don't know. I just liked his first rookie camp interviews -- such a polite and respectful guy. The stuff with Norm when he just got drafted was good, too, where he had just finished running the mountain. Being a fan of defense, I just like hearing how these college ends are making the transition to the 34. I also like hearing about the rooks' weight program and the extra stuff they get to do this time of year. (Don't the rookies get to stay around the team and train, unlike the vets?)

To what Rampage said, I liked Brandon Williams' tape a lot more, but from what I've seen, Butler would be a better interview.

And I'm kind of worried about Butler anyway... You know Sacamano's a big fan. :

DC, you're a better interviewer than a lot of the so-called journalists at the major media outlets.
