Skins Sign O-Lineman Mike Williams

[diehard]

This doesn't make the FO look good. They can't possibly be banking on this guy contributing.

Why does this not make the FO look good?

Apparently the FO can only do wrong, can't get credit if something go's right.

If it works out it could be a great move, if not there's little risk involved so who cares?

This would be one heavy O-line to push around. Keep the rest for when one needs a breather or gets hurt.

I think it is a little early to write off Randy Thomas. Bridges probably has a better chance beating out Dockery.

Thomas is historically way better than Dock....the only question is injury recovery...that is the main problem with all these old guys...some do well...some dont.
Perhaps Bridges could try center along with Jansen.
Heck, we could use an upgrade there as well as RT.
I'm not as concerned about the G spot anymore with Dock back and Bridges available.

I just dont know what happened to Rabach last year....he wasn't injured...he just underperformed...perhaps he wasn't doing that great the year before...perhaps the Guard play was just that much better. Thomas kicked but prior to last year...arguably the best lineman (along with Samuals)

Dream line up... and I may be missing a backup...and I know Williams is 400lbs..but my dream says hes 375 by preseason

Samuals, Dock, Jansen, Thomas, Williams
Heyer Bridges, Rabach, Rhinehart, Heyer/burley-UMD

Good article and video clip. I know it is Skins hype, and we have to see how it translates on the field, but it would be excellent if Williams were able to be on the field.

Good to hear his weight is down but that's just half the battle. The more important part is shaking off the rust and getting his playing skills up to par.

It was be a great story if he can step in and start at RT for us, contribute as a positive force, and finally live up to his potential. Im pulling for him and we need a good story along an O-line that is growing old and injury prone....
