It's not as smooth as scouts like to see but it's not like Patrick Robinson falling over his own feet. The biggest thing I notice is that he has a pause at the top of his break, which leaves him vulnerable on shorter routes and comeback routes. His length and closing burst were good enough to get away with it in college but I question that it will be so in the pros.
Aah alright, thanks. So we signed Cary Williams for the exact same money Sean Smith just got and probably only a touch less then Aqib Talib will get, so I'm not very excited about that. Even though Williams had a lot of big plays he got torched a decent amount last year and for all his physicality and toughness he has some trouble keeping his emotions in check at bad times and I wonder how he'll handle the constant top QB matchups of the NFC East and other games on the schedule?
What are your overall thoughts on him? I haven't paid attention to him a ton, but I have watched him and I felt he was solid but not nearly spectacular and had too much propensity to give up huge plays without as much big time turnover ability as you'd like to see out of players like that.
Then again Baltimore's schemes were a bit odd at times last year and they had a lot of injuries, although injury was basically how he wound up getting locked into his opportunity.
I'm cautiously optimistic I guess.
I've been reading all the Philly beats saying this won't stop them from drafting Milliner if they do indeed want him at all.
But anyway yeah haha, can you give me your thoughts and some breakdown on Cary Williams when you have a chance?
Thanks Ic.
