He's a LT you take the pass blocker there everytime.

I have concerns about Williams, too....but who doesn't? He seems to have put some of those to rest since the combine and process since. Guess we'll see.

What in particular is concerning to you?

A rectangular horizontal "ticker" across the top of the "Lounge" is what I think TC/DaFace had in mind....I think.

Yeah, if there were something that was linked directly into ESPN or NFL or something (read: Not RSS based), it'd be cool. As it is, the one in the OP is probably fine. Good find though, TC.
