Such a fresh breath of optimism. Just what i needed baby

Might finally have our Kendall Hunter fix with a lil Coleman boys

He also had a couple of big 12+ yard gains called back because of penalty.

I really like the way he kept his head and picked up that fumble. As a rookie falling on the ball wouldn't have been that bad but he kept his nerve, picked up the ball and off he went. I don't know that you can teach football smarts like that. I liked the draft pick but now I am beginning to really love this guy.
I really liked him going into the draft, I saw some special on him before it. I'm so glad we got him.

Williams looked much better than Brieda.

Breida looked good too but not at the goaline.

Could have had a TD but someone fell or tried to block too early and got breida blown up

Made a beautiful catch out of the backfield too, to put us in field goal range.
Finally, we have SPEED ladies and gents!
Joe Williams impressed.

Yes he did and all 3 RBs showed speed. Same for WRs. Man, speed kills and we finally got some. So glad we got rid of WRs from last 4 yrs. (except kerley). But we got burners and then some. Joe, tho, is our next RB for the future. For this yr, will be happy taking half the carries. But then, i think it is joe time.

I thought Breida was slightly better this game, considering Breida was running almost exclusively between the tackles. Williams obviously had a good game. But his upright running style is going to get him killed. He still seems one dimensional to me (outside the tackles). Which is fine as a complimentary back, but not as a #1.

Doc, your embattled son Lawrence Okoye is living life playing for the Dolphins.

Yeah but Williams really jumps out at the screen when he carries the ball. Dude falls forward upon contact. He looks extremely fluid and easily gets 4 yards just running to the edge faster than anyone.

With Williams, he's going all the way if he turns that corner. Teams MUST hustle to get there which means the middle will end up eventually being softer for him. With guys like Hyde and slower backs, teams can protect the middle first and not have to stress about the edge as much. He just has another gear and the power/leg drive.

He's right on CH's heels.

It's only one game but he sure looked impressive.
