Garry Williams Story

Finally got our first win this week and Garry Williams saw his first start at Right Tackle. He did a fine job, got lots of TE and RB pass blocking help but did a pretty good job.

Anyways, I thought now was as appropriate a time as any to tell a story about the fellow...

I love to play basketball and happen to frequent Park Road Park right on the corner of Park and Tyvola. So one afternoon this past summer the courts are absolutely dead except for one of my boys and I... we're just shooting around, chilling... then over the grassy hill I see a very, very large black man approaching. As he gets close I say faceciously, "I don't wanna play with you man! you too big!" Then I saw another very large black man coming up behind him. To which I said, "well at least you guys can be on different teams." I pass the ball to the first guy who swishes a trey. Then another. Then another. My next question, "Are y'all Panthers?" They look at each other and kinda shrugged without an answer. We decided to play 21, and as the game heats up, I throw my Panthers hat over in the grass. I forgot I was actually wearing Panthers gear when they came up.

Anyways, it started raining midway through our game of 21 and so we all bounced. but as we were leaving I asked the two men what their REAL names were. To which they both gave me fake names. I went home and looked at the Panthers website. The first guy to walk up, told me his name was Will... Gary Williams. He was the one who had the J, and could move pretty well on the court. I was impressed by his game more than the other guy... who I called Shaq the whole time (there is a resemblance) ended up being Corvey Irvin. Corvey told me his name was Ravon. Nice guy, but not that good at basketball.Corvey was slow... maybe that injury last year really fugged him up... I didn't want to post anything negative about him this summer because I really thought he was a cool guy and hoped he would help the team. That obviously didn't happen.

Anyways, I can't remember the exact score of the game, but I was winning and Gary was close behind me. Corvey was 3rd and my boy couldn't hit poo I don't think he was even on the board yet.

The point of the story is, Garry has some game, Corvey didn't that day at least... but both very cool, humble dudes.

panthers.com has a story about him and there are a couple comments he makes that i liked...

"My plan was to be aggressive, to just come off the rock and just hit 'em," Williams said. "And no matter what happened, if I messed up one play, just go to the next play and keep fighting."

"I always picture in my mind that I'm going to get cut. That makes me work harder," Williams said. "I approach it like I haven't made the team yet, and that keeps me striving. That's what I still do every day."

yeah, he definitely got competitive when I took the lead in the game. I made a few shots in a row and Corvey said, "what's he tryin to do?" Garry replied, "I think he's trying to win" and then Garry stopped letting me take the 15 foot jumper and definitely stepped up his game. he didn't want to lose.

I have no trouble buying this story.

For the record, Garry Williams had his rough spots this past weekend, but mostly did okay (at least in pass blocking).

Schwartz-Otah is still the best right side combo, but for the moment I'll take Schwartz-Williams over Bernadeau-Schwartz.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
