DJ Williams Scouting Report Compendium

I hope Crabtree beats him like his daddy used to. Is that better?

[SkinBasket]

I shouldn't have said that, because I read that he's more of an H back type. Maybe we could get rid of one of those white fuckers at FB now.

[Iron Mike]

Wait a minute, wasn't this guy a LB for the Broncos????

[Lurker64]

That's a pathetic story. I hope Crabtree beats him out.

There's room for four tight ends on the roster, and in our hearts.

Damn!! This dude will not go down. I love seeing 5-6 guys dragging down a Packers draft pick. I'd love to get rid of Hall now.

I know Tom is a fan favorite but the blocking thing is severely overblown. TEs are supposed to be good blockers.

Crabtree could very well be on the way out IMO.

I am not saying Crabtree couldn't be replaced. But there is a reason he survived last year and its because in short yardage or certain pass protections, he holds down the fort.

Until someone shows they can do it, he makes the team as the 3rd TE every year I suspect.

It's more that, do we have any other TEs that you can count on to block?

Sure, I hear that. My point was just that it shouldn't be too hard or take too long for someone to do just that.

We had an old Donald Lee and a rookie, skinny Quarless... Finley goes down. Makes sense Crabtree is playing that role and he did it well IMO. Just think this offense can become a machine and just about anyone inserted can at least mildly produce. Rodgers is just that good with a ton of talent around him.

We didn't last year, no... see above

I guess the other question is how much value do you place on that? Where is this offense evolving too? I guess we'll see... should be exciting.

With Cobb and this kid, McCarthy will have all kinds of funky backfield looks available next year.

I'm just imagining the crazy shit McCarthy could run out of the Wishbone with Grant and Cobb as the RBs, Williams as the FB, Finley as the TE, and Jennings split wide.

[3irty1]

With Finley, DJ Williams, Jennings, Jordy, and Cobb you can go shotgun with 5 wide or have a 2 TE set with Cobb at RB. Pretty wild.

Just lining up five wide and transitioning to a pro set, or vice versa would be amazing.

Some day, before I die I want to see a team line up in a 2-back set, transition to a five wide set, then transition to something in between... just to watch the defense run around.

This is exactly what I was thinking. You come out in a 2 TE, 2RB set and the D goes to their base run defense 4-3 or 3-4 personnel. Then you empty the backfield and move the TEs out. You have a minimum of 2 LBs covering unless you want to play man across the board without a deep safety.
