I get that you like Palelei. Alot. Borderline mancrush. I like him too. But, using 1 game to compare Guice and Palelei isnt too smart. Especially considering Guice wasnt even getting all the carries and was the #2 RB on his team. And he was a sophomore. And received an LSU offer as a sophomore.

Ill take Williams over Palelei as a special teamer. Dude is way more physical than Paleleli. I like Palelei alot. But, Williams is more physical overall. Cant deny that. That is what special teams is about. As a returner, sure Palelei probably has the upper hand over Williams at that. He is def more slippery than Williams. But straight ahead Williams wins that battle. Didnt really see him run through a lot of people in his highlights like Williams did. Def a shake and bake and hit the corner at top speed type of RB. And hes damn good. Just think Williams will be a better overall football player in college. Especially in the SEC.

If Palelei hits like a truck, I wonder what Williams hits like then...


But Id be more than happy to offer Palelei and get him in P&G. Not bashing him or anything. I want him here.

Williams was never getting an offer. Palelei will be the second RB, the sooner everyone accepts that, the better.

LOL, no man crush. Friend of the family, teammate of my two younger sons. I am objective though, as I've Coached several kids that have played in the SEC and NFL. You are wrong on a couple things, though. 1) Palelei IS more explosive than Guice. I don't need to view a whole season to see explosion.
2) I wasn't talking Returns on Special Teams. I and most anyone would take a 4:4 over 4:7 any day. There are a couple highlights in Palelei's video where he destroys a Denham and Dutchtown returner. I'd be willing to bet Palelei is the stronger of himself and Williams or Guice.
If he doesn't get an offer, I won't lose any sleep. He'll do fine at Okla St or Arkansas.
