Tempest Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I think he is the best linebacker we have drafted in a very long time. Tons of raw ability and he is putting it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Osi, I think I remember you talking about him by the end of training camp last year... you were 100% right about him. I didn't really notice him until the regular season, but he has very special short range quickness and he tackles with surprising power. I thought I was watching a young Jesse Armstead out there.

This man is a beast and is angreatbasset going forward. I would much prefer seeing him on the field over Deon Grant. I still think Deon should be resigned, but only for depth now that T2 is reinjured and Ross is gone. But, I think JW brings more hitting power to the field, and is probably is as fast (maybe faster) than Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Inb4 performance enhancing drugs. I see that over and over again, 'no way did he get that much bigger without help! PEDs! Steroids! CHEATER!!!!'... well, I just put on 15 solid pounds from Jan - July this year.... so a 22 year old professional athlete who is 4 or 5 inches taller than me should have no problem gaining 20. Granted, my starting point was way, way off professional athlete level. Or even weekend warrior level. I think I could have improved my conditioning just by standing up occasionally.

Yup I loved this kid since day 1. Even post draft I liked what I saw from his interviews and body frame. Combined with his pro day. But after a few camp reports and preseason games I was convinced.

BlueInCanada Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 LOL, sorry.... been on BBI? Its like a rallying cry over there. I don't head to BBI much anymore, but I imagine that "PEDs" are being thrown around left and right. I mean these guys are professional athletes their only job is to get bigger/stronger/faster, so he gained some mass big deal. I just want to see him perform on the field.

Allstarjim Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Jacquian Williams has a long way to go before he's anything more than a decent reserve linebacker and quality special teamer. He does have potential, true. He has the requisite size and speed combination to be a 3 down linebacker. For that, there is reason to be optimistic. But let's hold off a little before putting him in the ring of honor. The most I can say about him is that I hope he plays a lot on specials, performs well there, and we don't need him to start or get a lot of reps at linebacker this year. Would be a nice year for him to learn and grow behind Boley, Rivers, and Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osi724dasack Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 True Jim but JaQuain played a big role in our Lb corps last year as a 6th round rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Really? I watched every game last year and I wouldn't go that far. He played a role. Not a big one. He was mostly a reserve linebacker, particularly after Chase came back. He was key in the first Philly game. He had some other games where he gave good contributions. Hopefully he's improved from last year against the run, and his understanding of the playbook and his responsibilities have grown. I certainly hope he becomes what you guys think he is already, and he's definitely a shoe-in to make the final 53. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osi724dasack Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Yea he played a big role covering opposing teams TEs a good portion of plays. Was a stud on STs too, all for a raw athletic 6th round rookie. Not shabby for a 6th rounder from USF that nobody knew of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osi724dasack Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 He didn't play alot on D in every game, but mainly when they needed his raw talents. There was a few games where he didn't play much. I do think he's still 3-4 years away from reaching potential though. There's gonna be more struggles for him before he's a complete beast.

Wasn't he tasked with spying on Vick and containing him and did a very good job too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
