I posted this in the sleeper thread about Williams.

quote:

This is our first preseason overreaction after he tore up 2nd stringers

I'm not buying it

1) the Giants Oline is putrid. One of the worst in the league.

2) they have a pass happy OC implementing a quick hitting passing offense

3) Williams offers 0 passing down ability. The Giants want to run no huddle and pass a lot, so he's going to have a tough time getting on the field, even if he is their most talented between the tackles runner

He might be good to vulture some TDs on the goal line...but that's the best case possible IMO

Eh, Williams not being involved in the passing game in college is almost meaningless to me. His QB might have sucked. What did BC's offense do? Did they throw a lot? Was their QB good? I honestly do not know, but I would have to guess it is more due to BC's scheme and probably mediocre QB play than Andre's ability to catch balls.

The Giants O-line is not the same line from 2013. I think it's a little soon to use descripters like

putrid.


Although I have to admit watching Eli on the ground scrambling for that fumble last night did not give me a warm, fuzzy feeling about 2014.

I like seeing Williams run last night. He looked good, but I think the job belongs to Jennings and it's his to lose.

I see Williams getting some carries for sure, but the bulk will go to Jennings until there's some reason they shouldn't.
