WR- Mike Williams

There have been a few reports that mike williams for the lions could be on the bubble to even make the 53 man roster. The reports say he is over weight and m.martz isn't happy. What do you guys think, if he is released should we sign the guy?

I think we should at least try him out.

Re: WR- Mike Williams

We just got rid of an underacheiving WR in Jacobs who couldn't crack the WR rotation. Why would we bring in another one?

When many were suggesting we should draft I said then in two years he'd be a tight end and it looks like he's working on it.

Re: WR- Mike Williams

No question...but he won't clear waivers and we will not have a shot at the guy.

Re: WR- Mike Williams

No way, if M. Martz doesnt like him what makes anyone think that Gibbs or Saunders will? Think about it like this, Martz offensive philosiphy branches off of the same system that Gibbs and Saunders does. So if Williams doenst fit in there then their is a pretty good chance that he will not fit in here either...

Re: WR- Mike Williams

If he can't play WR for the Lions, why would we want him? He doesn't fit our smaller, quicker philosophy. He's really lazy. Gibbs and Saunders wouldn't put up with that.

Re: WR- Mike Williams

Well we already passed on him in the draft, so I bet he'd pass on him again if he can't make the Lions

Re: WR- Mike Williams

This is a funny thread because when he got drafted many people here were saying we would regret not drafting this guy. Hind sight is a funny thing.

nice chef Tell metaphor. I always liked MW but I didn't think he was better than rogers for what we needed.
I bet Martz doesn't like him even if he was fit. The knock on him before the draft was his lack of speed. Remember him "betting the farm" that he would run his 40 in 4.5 I think? well he lost the farm, now he's eating it!

Logic check please. Here are the guys he's competing with:

Roy Williams
Charles Rogers
Corey Bradford
Scottie Vines
Glenn Martinez
Eddie Drummond
Mike Furey

If he can't crack the top 5 of that motley crew, why in the world would we want him here competing with Moss, Lloyd, ARE, Patten, and Thrash???

Terrible idea.

Re: WR- Mike Williams

the only WR that detroit has other than Roy Williams that I would consider, and only consider is Carlos Rogers, who by the way seems to be on the outs also in the motor city. But even still that is too many WR's and I still think that Espy should come very close to making the team...
