I want to see Williams play. In college he was an amazing run blocker that looked to absolutely destroy opponents. Dude is nasty on the field.

what draft analyst said he was a finesse blocker that needs to develop toughness when he was picked?

Every scouting report I've seen on Williams wrote that he was an athletic "FINESSE" pass blocker perfect for a zone blocking system with extreme aggressiveness on run blocking. Some questioned his consistency of having his heart in football.........but not his toughness while in the game.

No coach is perfect. I think he is gambling with Mitchell and the NT position as a whole and there is a better than good chance that its going to backfire on him.

This whole "the NT comes out on passing downs" craze is just plain silly. Did Jay Ratliff come out on passing downs? I guarantee you if Wade had a really good NT he wouldn't come out on passing downs. The fact that Wade pulls them here just shows that our NT's (Cody and Mitchell) are nothing more than serviceable.

He'll Mitchell 's best attribute is supposed to be his ability to penetrate. Yet he comes out on passing downs. You guys drink your Mitchell juice all you want. I'm going to wait till be shows me something consistently in games before I stop worrying about the middle of our defense.

Well so far I he is what I thought he was. Filler.

Well, at this point, the OLB's, ILB's, and safeties are also just filler, so I'm not sure that having a good nose tackle would make any real difference.
