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.

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.

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?

"He looks good in camp." That is all you got? You are giving him wayyyy too much credit for returning 2 punts in the pre-season. If that is what you base that on then Z has looked the best out of all our WRs with his spectacular catches in camp. Williams has been injured and was a late round rookie WR. He probably won't make the 53 man roster. Williams is the odd man out between him, Hill, and Z.

Well considering I posted almost every update from all of camp I have heard his name a lot. And what else are you looking for, camp just ended. How has Hill looked in camp...or 3 years with the team? It has nothing to do with those 2 punt returns, it has to do with his abilities in practice. Obviously you have no idea what this team needs, is looking for, and has currently on the roster. If you really think he will be cut for Hill and Z then I hope you are prepared to eat your crow very soon.

You guys should bet on whether he makes the team or practice squad.

For the record, its almost no question he'll make the team

I would bet on it, I know Williams makes the final 53.

Will there be enough roster space? I suppose we drop two and carry 6 WR, with Ginn and Williams and Adams in the return game.

15 Crabtree, Michael
19 Ginn Jr., Ted
18 Guillory, Bobby
89 Hill, Jason WR
14 Jurovich, Kevin
84 Morgan, Josh
10 Williams, Kyle
17 Zeigler, Dominique

Perhaps Williams will go on IR.

Agree both should be used for punt returns.

Yup!
I wanted to see more from Adams--and I did. I think both guys make it, but I'd be very comfortable with Adams as the PR until Williams is healthy.
Adams. I like his small size, with speed, and his easiness(always laughing). PAdams and TLaBoy both give this team something it needs: relaxability.
we only saw williams in 1 game so i have to say adams because he did good on a consistant basis

however when i saw williams he was really quick and fast no doubt he can take it to the house
