D. Williams thread

[chop]

D. Williams did a good job today making Cleveland have to respect the run. Solid game for him so I made a thread just for him. I think he had 6 yard a carry average.

[loochy]

Yes, I love how hard he hits the hole and shrugs off tackles. He's a very no nonsense, effective back

[TinyEvel]

Le Veon Bell 2 carries for 6 yards. WHAT!?

[staylor26]

He earned a role for the rest of the playoffs and next season.

[Pitt Gorilla]

He's also one hell of a pass-blocker and blitz-picker-upper.

[DaFace]

Le Veon Bell 2 carries for 6 yards. WHAT!?He just doesn't look that effective. I have no issue with rolling with Williams if we have to next week. The dude runs hard.

[carcosa]

He runs so hard, it's fun to watch. I think he looks underwhelming when the playcall doesn't match his skill set; just open up a hole and let him pound it, don't do anything that relies on agility.

[TEX]

Thank goodness for Williams b/c Lev Bell sucks.

[Why Not?]

Yeah our RB room is set for a bit.

[Easy 6]

They keep bringing guys in, and he just keeps on outlasting them

He finally sold me today, thats a guy you keep around

[-King-]

Le Veon Bell 2 carries for 6 yards. WHAT!?

He's just not that good anymore. He's slow as FUCKKKK. I'm not talking about his playing style, I'm talking about when just running straight he's slow as fuck.

I was huge on him coming here, but I think he's done.

[-King-]

He just doesn't look that effective. I have no issue with rolling with Williams if we have to next week. The dude runs hard.
Yep. No funny business. Just straight north and south. He's like Pringle if Pringle was a RB.

[Dante84]

Less shifty Spencer Ware. Great game from DW.

[Molitoth]

I was huge on him coming here, but I think he's done.

Bell is traditionally a patient runner... and unfortunately with our OLine, you have to hit the hole hard and fast when it appears.

I don't know if Bell is done, but he is just not a good fit for this offense.

[staylor26]

He just doesn't look that effective. I have no issue with rolling with Williams if we have to next week. The dude runs hard.

I think Bell is just too patient for this OL the way it is. They clearly wanted Williams in there playing downhill.

Less shifty, but packs a bigger punch... he was knocking people on their ass today

[Gary Cooper]

Kimble Anders was a three time Pro Bowler. Back when fullbacks were a thing he was arguably the best in the league.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Was just coming on here to post an appreciation thread. Fantastic game for Williams.

[cdcox]

Williams held his own against the Chubb/Hunt duo. Can't ask for more. Great game.

[smithandrew051]

I have seen a strong correlation between whether or not I like a player and whether or not said player plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, my favorite professional football team.

[dirk digler]

He's just not that good anymore. He's slow as ****KKK. I'm not talking about his playing style, I'm talking about when just running straight he's slow as ****.

I was huge on him coming here, but I think he's done.

Yep it says a lot he didn’t start and only got 2 carries.

[UChieffyBugger]

Bell had a good game against the Saints and Raiders...let's not go ott just because today wasn't his day..if Clyde comes back our run-game should be decent moving forward.

[Beef Supreme]

I appreciate the way he hits the hole hard, especially in short yardage situations. All that dancing aroung waiting for an opening pisses me off when we need a yard for a first down.

[Chiefshrink]

He's also one hell of a pass-blocker and blitz-picker-upper.

That's why Andy trusts him.

[Chiefshrink]

I appreciate the way he hits the hole hard, especially in short yardage situations. All that dancing aroung waiting for an opening pisses me off when we need a yard for a first down.

BINGO !!

And he is deceptively faster than you think.;)

[Sofa King]

He’s still absolutely horrendous at 2nd and 2, 3rd and 2. If he had gotten that first down, Mahomes never would have had to run the next play and subsequently get hurt.

[Chiefshrink]

Kimble Anders was a three time Pro Bowler. Back when fullbacks were a thing he was arguably the best in the league.

Agreed. Sooooooo underrated for sure and he was especially clutch as well in a lot of situations.

Has nothing to do with patience or his style. I'm talking about pure speed and burst. He doesn't have it.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Tried telling y’all before the beginning of the season that D Williams is my adopt a Chief. Dude does everything good. He doesn’t suck at one thing but he’s not great at everything. He’s a 79 on Madden in my book

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Yup.

For all the talk about the Browns running game ( sound familiar from last year before Tennessee?) and their two headed monster, the Chiefs out rushed the Brownies 123-112 and our very own DW Part 2 finished with more yards rushing than Nick Chubb and a better ypc average.

So I guess they didn’t dominate us after all with their running game like I kept hearing all week might happen.

[Chris Meck]

MY FAVORITE WILLIAMS

[Deberg_1990]

Bell looks like a guy with not much left in the tank.

He’s ok is spurts, but I doubt he could have done what D Williams did today.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Looking good today

[Chief Roundup]

Don't get enough respect around here as he deserves.

IIRC didn't Williams have a pretty tough injury last year?

He looks healthy now. He's a good player. He's not great, but he's a good solid RB.

You can find them anywhere.

Agreed. Need OL, OL, OL, LB, and a WR among other things.

[dallaschiefsfan]

I think he's done. But you're right in that he's not a good fit for this offense.

If we were able to run more screens, Bell would likely increase in value. To me, his running style doesn't fit our o-line...BUT...if we ran a consistent screen game, he'd be earning his keep and we'd love him. The fact that we're simply not running much of a screen game renders Bell somewhat useless.

[O.city]

Thankfully the chiefs spent a first rounder last year on a running ba.......


Ah shit. What have I done.

[LiveSteam]

I think Bell is just too patient for this OL the way it is. They clearly wanted Williams in there playing downhill.

This. Hit the the hole with 1 cut or no cut at all.

[CoMoChief]

Bell is done.

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Bell is done.
Kind of looks that way.

Time for a different D.Williams to add his name to the KC book of post-season lore.

[crayzkirk]

Williams does run hard, my only nitpick is that it looks like he misses a lot of holes where he runs into the pile and if he would cut back, there would be some wide open spaces.

I think the only problem with Bell is that the Chiefs don't get away with holding like the Steelers do; he could wait for the 'block' which opened the hole to run through.

[O.city]

He gets whats there. He's not gonna make a guy miss or jump cut back into a hole.

CEH can and does when he's healthy.

[-King-]

I would be fine with Clyde, Damien, Darrel and a late rd RB on our roster next season

Yeah Clyde can be the main back with Darrell there to spell him and Damien can be the 3rd down back. And Thompson the blow out garbage time back. Think Sherman is done after this season so we can carry 4 backs on the active roster.

[O.city]

I'd get rid of Thompson and keep Sherman. He's too important on all the special teams etc.

[DaneMcCloud]

The Kimble Anders of the Andy Reid era.

Fumble Anders?

No thanks.

[DaneMcCloud]

BINGO !!

And he is deceptively faster than you think.;)

No, he's not.

He ran a 4.72 and a 4.73 at The Combine and until yesterday, he's looked far slower than that on the field.

He looked more comfortable with his assignments against the Browns but he is not the type of running back that can take nothing and turn it into something. His scouting report matches up perfectly with what he's shown the past 2 seasons:

Strengths
Built like a bruiser and runs with good physicality
Sturdy base absorbs hits and maintains balance
Doesn't get cute
Makes decisions early and lives with them
Keeps pads square to line of scrimmage and slides from gap to gap without losing momentum when searching for the best running lane
Has good lateral jump cut to elude initial tackle attempts at the line of scrimmage
Runs under his pads with good forward lean near the goal line
Has size to be utilized as a short yardage option
Very comfortable handling swing passes and check downs and showed an ability to extend drives out of the backfield
Highly respected teammate and named a team MVP this season.

Weaknesses:
Doesn't feel running lanes developing, needs to see it
Burst through line of scrimmage is below average
Doesn't have the feet and instincts to sting moves together
Doesn't search for late cuts and may not be able to make them anyway
Doesn't generate as many yards after contacts as teams might like
Won't get many unexpected yards
Slow to gather and cut downhill when asked to run an outside track
Needs downhill play calls
Top heavy running style limits ability to make sharp backside cuts

------------

His weaknesses are why he went undrafted.

Yeah I guess. I think I'm still holding out hope for Thompson. I think he can be good but apparently he can't really pick up the playbook and we've seen that he has no idea what to do when it comes to pass blocking and knowing hot routes when the defense blitzes.

[SuperChief]

Been toting the DW rock for awhile now. Glad he came through!

From earlier this year:
People don't see it, but Darrel is the PERFECT #2 RB option for this offense. I think he'd start for many other teams. He's just gotta stay healthy. He is no JAG, I'm telling you.

From 2019:
Darrell Williams is the best back on this team. He's the best alternative to Kareem we could have asked for. Just needs more reps and some experience.

You can't see actual 'game speed' in a combine setting regardless of what their 40 time is. Some backs have it and some don't. Darrell has it and I have seen it several times especially last year against Baltimore when he iced the game.

[el borracho]

He's also one hell of a pass-blocker and blitz-picker-upper.

Darrel can catch, too. I mean, I wouldn't make him the starter or anything but I've been a fan since he iced the Ravens game a couple of years ago.

According to him he runs a 4.5

Bayless must have had $$ on the Browns. Not surprising though.:rolleyes:

[ChiefAshhole1056]

He’s doing well to maximize his market value for FA, I’m sure we’re going to lose him and honestly I wouldn’t want to bring him back for a veteran contract anyways. He’s coming off a strong game in the playoffs which will definitely help his cause but at the end of the day we can get someone of equal or greater value day 3 of the draft.

Fuck no to paying for RB3s, he’ll get paid more elsewhere anyways.

[R Clark]

Yeah Clyde can be the main back with Darrell there to spell him and Damien can be the 3rd down back. And Thompson the blow out garbage time back. Think Sherman is done after this season so we can carry 4 backs on the active roster.

I’d keep Sherman over Thompson lol ,I bet Andy would to

[TNTEICHER]

Le Veon Bell 2 carries for 6 yards. WHAT!?

Bell's running style does work with an offensive line that doesn't block worth a damn.
With a good line you can wait for a hole. With our line you better hit the hole if you see any daylight.

[htismaqe]

Bell has 63 carries and 4.0ypc average.

He's doing just fine behind this line. He was never going to be a world beater and before you go on about how great he was in Pittsburgh, the dude averages 4.1ypc for his entire career.

He's a volume back, he always has been. Most of them are, BTW. And since no back here gets bulk carries, he was never going to light the world on fire.

[Azide22]

Le Veon Bell 2 carries for 6 yards. WHAT!?

Only played like 10 snaps in total.

Literally nobody is going to pay Darrel Williams.

[KChiefs1]

EB said that Darrel's nickname is "Dirty" from LSU but didn't know why.

[DaneMcCloud]

Fumble Anders?

No thanks.

Wow, there sure are quite a few buttfucking morons that are pissed about this comment.

Fucking Fumble Anders had 15 fumbles during his time in KC, with 6 of those occurring in 1998 alone, in which he had only 230 rushing yards.

I guess you morons like shitty running backs that can't hang on to the fucking football.

Worse was his drop in the AFC Championship game, IMO.

[ModSocks]

Ive always been on the Williams bandwagon. Never understood the hate. He looks way better than Bell that's for sure. Runs with more power, speed and aggression.

Be reliable, hold on to the ball, gain yards. Chiefs fans will love you forever.

How many of you are aware of the story behind CEH and Darrel Williams?

Awesome stuff, the chemistry and synergy around this team is just off the charts... no wonder we're so dangerous

That’s cool. Thanks for sharing

[Megatron96]

Darrel has been impressive down the stretch and in the playoffs. Definitely has looked not only faster, but more agile and explosive. If this is the level he's going to be playing at going forward, I'd absolutely like to see him in KC colors next season. That is all.

There were similar stories around the draft. That's three LSU backs for us over the past 5 years or so. It was another reason people were talking about Fournette possibly coming to KC as well.

Absolutely. Looks like a different guy as of late. Running with confidence

[Sofa King]

Today is a perfect example of how Darrel Williams ISN'T a short yardage back. People seem to think he is but his history more closely resembles today. He just isn't the guy for those short yardage situations.

[ThaVirus]

I like him in short yardage situations, but he's a 3rd string RB on any decent squad (which we were up until this year).

We shouldn't be relying on a guy with his talent, or lack thereof, as much as we are.

Why do you like him in short yardage situations? Honestly.

Look how he got absolutely blown the fuck up at the goal line. The dude gets spun around by off balance arm tackles. He's not a good RB. He's fucking garbage.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Maybe the OL is garbage

[Hammock Parties]

So very average. We need Clyde back.

[jd1020]

The same OL blocks for CEH and Gore. Neither one of those guys run for less than 4 YPC.

Those short yardage situations have more to do with the OL than anything. If you're expecting a RB to bowl over a 250 LB who's crashing into the hole, you're not going to be happy with anyone outside of Derrick Henry.

What's important is, Darrel gets that's 3rd and 1 or 2 more frequently than he doesn't.

[Sorce]

That screen pass where he got caught from behind he looked so slow.

Any god damn RB could pick up 1 or 2 yards more frequently than they dont. Especially if you are going to sit there and put the responsibility on the OL like you just did.

[BleedingRed]

How about giving gore the ball

[ThaVirus]

No RB can create something from nothing in those situations.

What’s important from a short-yardage back is a guy who commits, doesn’t hesitate, size helps so they can power through if possible or just fall forward through arm tackles for the first, and doesn’t fumble the ball. Darrel fits that bill so why wouldn’t I like him in short yardage situations?

You’re upset about a couple goal-line carries we weren’t able to punch in, but they both seemed like better defense than crappy RB play.

[Easy 6]

DWill is a grinder, its good to have him around... but he isn't the answer

Not sure Gore is either for that matter, yet

2022 outlook is

D line
Receiver
Explosive RB

[wachashi]

It would be really great if he could run faster.

[jd1020]

I'm not upset about anything.

I'm stating the obvious when I say Darrel Williams is a garbage RB.

The only thing that upsets me is that he is somehow the fucking starting RB, temporarily.

It is annoying. Running backs are a dime a dozen. It should not be this hard to find a decent back WITH SOME SPEED. We have to have to slowest RB room in the entire league.

Plus we easily could have held on to Damien Williams.

So much this. Not one of them is any kind of a threat. Defenses know that. This offense doesn't need a back like Charles or Hunt , though that sure would be nice. All we need is a RB of Damien's caliber, who was more of a factor in the passing game, and could break a long run on occasion.

[ThyKingdomCome15]

Gore is my guy. That's all I got.

[PHOG]

Gore had 3 rushes for 13 yards. Why only 3 rushes?

[Sofa King]

Once again, need one yard on 3rd and this turd can’t get it.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Gore had 3 rushes for 13 yards. Why only 3 rushes?

Because Darrel Williams doesn't have an ACL injury yet. Be patient!

[dlphg9]

Williams is fucking trash.

[ChiefRocka]

Gore - YAC like Hunt

[louie aguiar]

he's not a great RB but he seems better in the passing game than CEH and not just because of that catch he made

[suzzer99]

Apparently D Williams is the contested catch receiver we've been looking for. He was right there all along. It's like a romantic comedy.

[Bump]

101 yards receiving with a huge TD catch, maybe he can be like a new Kimble Anders or something

[Wallcrawler]

But yeah, he needs upgraded.

It’s not his fault he can make it to the edge because he’s too slow. It’s Reid’s for calling that play over and over.

He can run straight, do screens. Stay within his capabilities.

[Pitt Gorilla]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FENZH86XoAYKDwZ?format=jpg&name=large

That catch was completely badass across the board. Pat, fresh off of throwing a for-sure pick that was somehow dropped, throws a 30-70 ball that our slow, plodding backup RB positions himself to catch. Should Pat have thrown this ball? Probably not. Is Pat GOING to throw this ball? Absolutely. Is Darrel going to run through a ****ing wall for Pat for anything/everything because he KNOWS his leader believes in him? Without hesitation.

[Deberg_1990]

d Will was running hard today. Might have Been his best game on the ground as a Chief?

Him and Gore combined over a 100 on the ground. Did we really miss CEH?
