What's the deal with Ian Williams?

I got paid! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoIThvK-zIM

Peanut butter and jelly time!
I guess they see enough that he should be a part of the rotation next season. With the recent success of NaVorro Bowman after the departure of Takeo Spikes, Isaac Soaopaga after the departure of Aubrayo Franklin (for one season at least), and Alex Boone over any RG over the last few years, I'm confident in this staffs ability to identify good talent on the roster. I still think we will draft a NT in the first three rounds however.

rotational and backup player to take RJF's place. I see us drafting a true nose tackle, and maybe resigning Sopoaga as a stop gap solution.

Ooops.
DT Glenn Dorsey set for a visit to 49ers on Wedsday. He was a beast in College but has not lived up to hype in the NFL but we need bodies up front bad!!
I personally like that we didn't shell out extra money for Sopoaga and RJF. We'll miss their experience and skill, for sure, but I think we would've had to overpay... especially for Sopoaga. The guy doesn't play a lot of snaps for us, with the league going pass-happy.

I think we'll get similar, cheaper results by getting young guys who will rotate in and out. Only thing I worry about is when we DO play physical teams that can run the ball (Seattle).

This shows me that they want to keep young guys and build the team through the draft. This will allow us to keep our own players later instead of losing them to FA.

what has this guy done to make you think he deserves this kind of money? he had a nice pre season??


He must be doing pretty well in practice. We do not see them practice.

He played four years at Norte Dame.

Three of those years, he played 3-4 nose tackle.

The other year, he played 4-3 tackle.

He is listed at 6-1 305.

Coming our of college (at the Combine) his listed weight was almost 320.

If he gets back to a solid 320, this could end up being a positive surprise.
