Why Can't Brandon Williams be our Larry Donnell?

[Argus Plexus]

The ghost of Gary Barnidge.

[DaCityKats]

he does deserves more offensive reps. 

[Toundra]

B Williams must play!

[imminent rogaine]

We all love Olsen, but he is not the TE that I want to see on TE screens. I think Williams would be more effective with those plays, and I don't think its close. Without our stable of backs, we need plays like that to keep the DL honest.

[csx]

Because he isn't as good? Come on people.

[cardiackat88.]

Umm...cuz we don't have the luxury of playing the Deadskind twice a year???

[CatMan72]

Well, is he good enough to justify taking snaps away from Dickson? I'd assume the answer is no based on what the coaches have seen in practice and practice performance determines who plays.

[SCP]

They have to play the man

Similar size, athleticism, and a match-up problem for DBs and LBers. I realize we have Olsen who needs to be on the field at all times... but I'm surprised Williams hasn't really worked his way into the rotation. Dickson hasn't shown a thing and Williams out-performed him in the pre-season against what was likely a bit lesser competition.

Brandon is one of the last to leave practices on a daily basis and is probably the best blocker out of Olsen, Dickson, and himself. Is there something we as fans aren't seeing? Does the coaching staff just prefer the veteran Dickson to be our TE2? Is Williams still trying to grasp the playbook?

Every time a tight end like Donnell and Julius Thomas break-out in a game or season I can't help but think we have a similar guy on our roster that just needs to get on the field before he shows out.

 

Brandon Williams is not a better blocker than Ed or Greg. That's probably one of the biggest reasons. He's a raw talent with limited knowledge of blocking techniques. and route running. His college career consisted of 2 catches in an Oregon offense and he did have injuries.

 

I get it, you look at him and he looks like all the other great "joker" tight ends. Every team in the NFL has one or many of these guys that they think can be the next Antonio Gates but most of them don't make it. 

 

I'd love to see him play more but Greg is having a great year. Our passing attack is doing much better than last year. It's the run game and pass pro that are breaking down.

[BigBoss]

Same reason Gary Barnidge can't

 

Which is......

 

[BigBoss]

Umm...cuz we don't have the luxury of playing the Deadskind twice a year???

 

We have Tampa twice, now just once. what argument do you have?

[L-TownCat]

Why cant Bell be Jonathon Ogden?

 

Why cant Olsen be Tony Gonzalez?

 

Why can't Rivera be Lombardi?

 

Why Can't Cam be healthy?

 

Why can't I make millions for being so damn cute?

 

These questions need real answers!

[Mvp2014]

Our OC sucks?

[thefuzz]

Simply, he's not good enough, yet, and maybe never will be.
