He needs game reps

he may not start for a while, but following who plays the most snaps when he's full go will tell the story. Obviously it's EJ or Ngata who could lose PT

Didn't EJ Williams...

drop every target that came his way? What happened to that guy??? He looked like the next great WR at WRU his freshman year.

In regards to EJ
Sep 7, 2022, 6:24 PM
|

just my observation. I don't see elite athleticism when I watch him. Granted, he like Ngata, is seemingly dinged a bunch. But I don't see the timing on 50/50's, the explosiveness in the air, the ability to separate. Just my take

You are not referring to EJ Williams, correct? I've been reading this thread thinking that the references to "Williams" were for EJ; but I just realized it is likely for the Antonio. If so I beg pardon on that.

I don't believe we have any stand-out WR's, currently.
He can have any of the positions he wants for all I care.

a true freshman to save our WR corp. There is no excuse for this group to not be better than average. I guess there's just no leader there. EJ i thought was going to be the playmaker when he came in but he's been snake bit for two years. Ngata.. I just don't get it but i'm not holding out hope. I'd like someone to teach B Collins how to go up and ###### the ball before teh defender does and body up the defender like a post player. Does the players not play basketball at Calhoun Corners or Fike anymore? When you're big like he is you gotta be the aggressor on those TD balls. He's waiting for the ball to hit him perfectly. Thats why Spurrier recruited basketball players. Because they know how to box out. Id take a whole practice where you throw jump balls to defenders and WRs and make it a competition like the PAW drill.

No one’s

Because that would mean he’s taking the place of someone who has earned it despite sub standard play from the Oline. ?
Seriously though, kinda seems like a double standard.

Beaux Collins will be on the field. So, i'm going to go with Ngata! Williams is going to emerge as our slot WR.
Randall will be one of our outside WR's based on Dabo's comments about the only Freshmen he has ever coached who could come in and be dominant as freshmen being Spiller, Watkins and Randall!

What makes you think that...

Williams is going to emerge as anything? What have you seen??? He has been an absolute ZERO since his freshman year. Injuries, lack of chemistry with an already marginal QB, the yips... whatever it is, he just hasn't shown much for a LONG time. Ngata, well... he doesn't even seem to be on DJU's radar on most plays. He seems to be the invisible WR.
From what I've seen I'd look for Will Taylor to play himself into the slot receiver, "third and Renfrow" position on this offense. That's my prediction.

IF HES AS GOOD AS ADVERTISED; I think our most talented three would Beau Collin’s, A. Williams, and Randall.

I mean he clearly stated A. Williams. Not sure why the confusion on that.

Beau, Antonio Williams and Adam Randall sounds like a talented and well-rounded trio ...
