Chiefs DeMorrio Williams to start @ Will Linebacker

evolve27 · 09-24-2008, 11:02 PM

----Demorrio Williams-LB- Chiefs Sep. 25 - 12:32 am et

Demorrio Williams will be the Chiefs' starting weak-side linebacker while Donnie Edwards (ankle) is sidelined.

Edwards is out through K.C.'s Week 6 bye. Williams is highly athletic and could run down more ball carriers than Edwards, who's lost several steps.

Also, while I'm at it:

----Dwayne Bowe-WR- Chiefs Sep. 24 - 8:39 pm et

Dwayne Bowe is currently leading the NFL in targets.

Once he fixes that embarrassing catch rate (44%), Bowe's explosion should begin. Calvin Johnson and Reggie Bush are tied for second with 32 looks. Brandon Marshall (31) is impressively fourth despite having sat out a game.

Bowe is leading in targets? Wow. He really needs eye transplants.

ChiefsCountry · 09-24-2008, 11:44 PM

Does Williams still have his cast on?

now if McIntosh would do the honorable thing and injure himself...

Lets hope he's smarter than DJ is.

SBK · 09-25-2008, 12:21 AM

I wonder if he can tackle. If he can we'll have 1 LB that can on the field now.

Derrick Johnson is a terrific linebacker and the Chiefs best defensive player. I dont know why you guys rag on him. He's the second best 4-3 OLB in the division behind DJ Williams (who is playing at a Pro Bowl level this year). Johnson is an amazing talent that Chiefs fans do not appreciate properly, IMO.

Maybe if he didn't make rookie mistakes he wouldn't get ragged on....he disappears, makes dumb mistakes. Either he is the poorest coached player ever from college and the NFL or he's reeruned, or maybe a little of both.

He looks great on tv. When you're at the game you don't realize how bad he really is.

I honestly don't care if we let him go this year instead of resigning him. He whiffed on so many plays last week, and was out of position for so many more. He's grossly overrated.

I personally think he's in the wrong scheme. He can be a Cover 2 backer, but he'd be a much better player in a scheme where he was used more in a downhill capacity. He's a very good blitzer.

*OR* maybe there are some people on Chiefsplanet who watch a guy screw up on a play and NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT IT EVER.

I think of LaVar Arrington. Very gifted, but kind of does his own thing. Some 3-4 team should pick him up and let him be a dumb LT type guy who just blitzes cause he don't know what's going on.

DJ has flashes on being a stud, can wrap up anyone in the backfield, but has regressed so far this year. He should be tearing it up this year as we are getting better DT play, but the linebackers as a whole are playing awful. Kinda makes you wish you had kawika back.

I blame it on Gunther and reeruned personnel decisions. Hopefully it will turn around this week, because we know the guy is a playmaker. Would be nice to pick up the stud out of USC, but with the 1st pick you gotta take a qb.
