Show and tell time... Is Kyle Williams this year's Slow Polk?

[yukon cornelius]

he seems to be struggling with his reads - he runs one route, maye expects him to be elsewhere......he crossed maye up 2-3 times last week....

kid has all of the physical tools, hopefully he can pick up the McD offense

 

[VrabelJr]

I know it doesn't work this way...but I'd take the loss against the Bucs if we were finally able to get Williams productive...like 6 for 80 yards...just keep feeding him regardless of score. As long as he keeps producing...I'd do it.

That makes no sense.

 

[DoubleDeluxe]

Him and Polk are nothing alike.
Polk isn’t an NFL caliber athlete, he just isn’t. Couldn’t get open to save his life, slow as molasses.
KW can separate and has speed. Now he may be running the wrong routes, but his ability is more than evident.

Some guys take longer than others. I’m not worried or impatient.

Play Diggs as the X and play out of Detroit package most of the game.

We are in agreement...

"I know it doesn't work this way..."

The WR I wanted at #69, Iowa State's Jaylin Noel, hasn't been any great shakes for Houston either, though until last week he had a nice little 2-game run of 9/13 - 140 - 15.5/10.7 while Nico Collins was missing. So I'm not gonna pass judgement on Kyle Williams, for now...

The way I see it cap.. Williams is out there for a reason.. Josh and Vrabel must-see him make plays in practice so...

 

[captain stone]

No.

We need to hit the panic button.

We. Must. Panic.

It’s in our Boston Sports Media PatsFans DNA.

If not about a third round rookie failing to light the world on fire halfway through a season in which we are unexpectedly in the running for the best record in football, then what and who?

If it’s not time to panic about Kyle Williams then we’ll have to find something else to panic about, and we’re already done panicking about the lack of trades at the trade deadline. (We are done with that, right?)

Nah, this is easier.

Time to panic about our WR6 lack of production.

The sky is falling! Get with the program! LFG!!!

You do realize, don't you, that you do Not have history on your side...?

I liked Jaylin Noel too it was very close between him and Kyle Williams for me. In my heart I gave the nod to KW: I hope I didn't make a mistake.

I'm not longer there cap... I got her on my side now...

 

[DoubleDeezNH]

He gets his 1st touchdown this week. You read it here first. You can thank me later.

I have literally bet Kyle Williams Anytime TD scorer almost every week this season on DraftKings lol... its bound to happen eventually.

The way I see it cap.. Williams is out there for a reason.. Josh and Vrabel must-see him make plays in practice so...

This is honestly the biggest endorsement of him you can find (and TBH, it's kind of weak haha). But yeah, Douglas has made some plays in recent weeks and Hollins isn't totally incompetent. They don't need to give Williams any snaps or even make him active. The fact that they're giving him some sliver of a chance is at least a tiny bit encouraging that they see some developmental potential there despite results that have been pretty horrific if we're just being brutally honest.

Williams is higher on the depth chart than our PS WR's and higher than Chism.

If this give you confidence in Williams, then so be it.
=========
He got lots of snaps against ATL. I suppose he is a better decoy or/and a better blocker than Chism and the PS players.

The reason he's out there is because he was drafted.

I've seen this movie WAY too many times before; so just wake me when/if the plot changes...

Good points.

Unfortunately very true cap.. the hope is.. Williams doesn't go down the Chad Jackson, N'Keal Harry, Polk bust road..

What does it mean to be out there twice as much as Douglas with almost no targets? Is he a good blocker or just a decoy?

What does it mean when you the WR that can open (so posters say) and has ONE target out of his 31 snaps? What is this body doing on the field? Is the role of Williams really to go deep and occupy one defender?

SNAPS AGAINST ATL
-------------
43 Hollins
41 Diggs
31 Williams
18 Boutte (injured)
16 Douglas
4 Chism

He's a bust in my mind. Not sure I've ever seen a WR who looks as lost out there. Every time Drake throws a ball his way it misses by like 5 yards because Williams has no idea where he should be and when. I expect a few targets with no receptions against the Bucs.

This guarantees his success. You were one of the loudest voices screaming about how bad their offseason was. 20 minutes after free agency started you were crying about how they had done nothing. Like Sam you have been consistently wrong about pretty much everything.
