Hey the guy sounds motivated. Sounds like he realizes this could be his last shot.

Re: Skins Sign O-Lineman Mike Williams

I think he could be a great pickup given that he can keep his weight in check. If he's motivated I think he can be our starting RT Opening Day.

Re: Skins Sign O-Lineman Mike Williams

I could see Williams as a successful Guard in the Dockery mold, but we're stocked at that position with mediocre players. This would have been an interesting thing to try back in 2007 instead. Now, I think he's just got no spot on this team, even if he is improved. He's just not a tackle, in any way, shape, or form.

Re: Skins Sign O-Lineman Mike Williams

Here's a recent picture of Big Mike. He really doesn't look to out of shape but then you look at Chris Samuals and Randy Thomas pics and wonder are they to small or is Williams to big. Samuals though looks like the type that waits for the season to start packing on the pounds. If anything he looks like he weighs around 250 at most in his pic.

Again heres what Mike Williams looks like right now. It's really not nearly as bad as you guys think. If anything our current lineman (Samuals and Thomas) look like they're underweight.

Agreed, I mean Andre Smith looked worst in his Pro Day.

I thought he was rocking a compression shirt (impressive at 4 bills) but then I read it was an unnumbered jersey. He does make Chris Samuels look tiny. But you're right, he doesn't look like a slob or anything, not by a long shot. I'm still skeptical as to whether he can actually play, but that is mostly because he has never proven that in the NFL and has been out of the league for several years now.

Doc Walker was on 980 yesterday raving about how this guy looked in drills yesterday! I'm not saying he is the answer at RT...but, I am encouraged!!!

I liked him in a recent interview too. He said he planned on losing the weight and being ready for the workouts in June. He sounded real and like he meant it and had a good attitude. If nothing else we could put him in on goal line situations and he could give a strong push into the end zone. Bridges, Williams, Heyer, and Jansen sounds like a better line situation than a lot of other teams and it's got potential. Personally I think everybody should get a shot ...
1st down - Heyer
2nd down - Williams
3rd down - Jansen
4th down - Bridges

The man carries his weight well. He looks like a effing brick shithouse.

Man, I've never seen a 400 lb guy keep that belly flab down (he must have sucked it in)! Man, this guy is really serious about starting at RT, which is very encouraging.
