LOVE Stuuuuuude!

He was good in Atlanta.

He was just coming on in Atlanta. A good portion of their fan base were pissed when he signed here.

I seem to remember that also if I remember correctly he played some 3-4 in college where he was a beast.

I don't know about that, but personally I love the way the guy has come on in the preseason. They said in game 2 that he was pissed about being 2nd string, and he sure ****ing showed it in games 3 and 4. I'm looking forward to seeing what he's got now that he's found some extra motivation.

He might have looked better had he not been stuck in a stupid cover 2 all the time. I like what I read in the OP about Crennel not locking people into a particular role. Gives us a certain unpredictability that we haven't had in years. And that showed in the pre-season.

If DJ could react to demotion the same way Williams did, we'd have a special player. But that ship has sailed....

It might not be too late...

I hope. When he's "on", he really gets after it and we could sure use it every game.:hmmm:

Williams' reaction to getting demoted was overrated for me. He basically was making routine stops and getting up and thumping his chest to "show passion". He didn't do anything special.

With that said, I like him as a rotational 3rd and long pass rush guy. I've wanted to see him in that role since he came here. He looked good getting after the QB in college. He plays with good leverage and good body lean, dipping his shoulder around the tackle. He looked natural against Green Bay.

You have a Chief concern about news article titles?

That's better than Johnson making NO STOPS and doing nothing.

Yeah, I like what I've seen out of him in the preseason so far as well. Just the way he has been getting to the QB is something else.

Last game against the Packers I recall on one play he rushed the QB on a blitz, and just the way he turned the corner was a thing of beauty. The speed he demonstrated on that play was another thing of beauty.

I see the guy has fire light under his a** now that he realizes he is competing w/ DJ.

Never really was a big Demorrio Williams to be honest with you. Im also not the type that wants to judge him after four preseason games, but damn if he continues to play like this, we may have a weapon on defense.

Im glad to see that our new DC is discovering new ways he can make players on this current roster be more effective. It seems as if he works according to a players strengths and utilizes them in that manner, based on their overall attributes in knowing what they could do best. Maybe he found a new attacking blitzer in Demorrio? I don't know? Still remains to be seen, we have an entire season to witness that.

Overall, Im glad. We have a new def co-ordinator that is willing to improvise. We never had that with our previous def co-ordinators.

DeMorrio was really good in Atlanta. I was happy when we signed him then he disappeared in that shitty cover 2 scheme.

Instead of moving Williams to the outside, I prefer what worked against the Eagles. Not knowing which one of the LB's is blitzing, IMO, is what makes the Steelers 3-4 defense so effective. That is what seemed to be working aginst the Eagles. So why screw with it? :shrug:

That's usually what Demorrio does in the regular season...absolutely nothing but a bunch of garbage tackles away from the line of scrimmage. Hopefully that will change this year.
