It's too bad Williams got hurt. I smell practice squad. There are only 53 spots and Adams just showed he could do PR duty and Williams. while he showed promise, is not on the field.

No way in the world Kyle Williams clears waivers. If we don't have him on our 53 man roster, someone else will. We need to keep both of these guys because they are football players. Paymah and Hill look worthless anyway

Yes. And it's not like our depth in the secondary is stellar anyways. Both players have promising futures, and not just on special teams.

He's not going to the PS, he will be one of our 5 WR's. If Ginn keeps having the drops Williams will walk into the #3 spot. He's hurt now but he will be a surprise to teams because nobody has gotten a chance to see him.

KEEP BOTH! Kyle Williams also has added value as a slot receiver.

agreed we need both and i think this kid Adams could be special
The Raiders' coverage on that return might have kept Adams on our roster. It wasn't very good. Adams basically just get it and go straight.
They are both good players and made plays when on the field. Williams got injured unfortunately but that's not to say he can't be good when healthy.

Adam's potential > Paymah's best

As for Williams, he is a rookie in a crowd of WRs. It is likely he is on the practice squad and Adams gets the nod.

Williams has enough potential to keep around at least on the practice squad. It's unfortunate he got hurt. Adams should make the 53 man roster for sure. He's so much better than a 7th rounder. And he is much better than practice squad material IMO. He should be on the active roster.

He's not going to be behind Z or Hill which secures him a spot. Remember 5 WR's...

Crabtree
Morgan
Ginn
Williams
Z or Hill

He is not going to be behind Z or Hill? They have been on the team for awhile, both are not injured, both are not rookies. What makes you say he has been better then Z or Hill? If that is your list, he is cut for sure.

No because either Z or Hill will be cut. Doesn't matter if they are vets or not, some guys are just better. All reports from camp before the injury were that he was doing very well and is the most elusive of the WR's, couple that with good hands and returner abilities....he's going to make the roster. Explain "if that's my list" comment?
keep em both, they both have double value, special teams and receiver/db

They both will be on the 53 man roster. Adams will probably be the one active on game day for PR and CB duties but Williams right now is the 5th WR in my opinion and the team will keep him on the roster over Hill.

Both, but Adams for now.
