inside tremendous williams
We think Williams is going to be a tremendous inside runner.
convinced might type williams wrong
We might have a scratchy throat, we might have something wrong with us. But if you can play, by gosh, we're going to play. Carnell Williams is that type of kid. ... If there's any way he can play, I'm convinced he would go.
cadillac couple deny drafted fact felt good looked michael mike practice productive smart takes williams
We feel like he did get a lot of reps on the practice field, we feel like we did play him extensively in the first couple games, ... He's a good back. Hopefully, he catches on with another team. You can't deny the fact that No. 33 (Graham) has looked very good here. We drafted Cadillac Williams , Michael Pittman has been a productive back here, Derek Watson is still in the mix, so when you couple that with the fact that Mike Alstott is also going to play the tailback position, we felt it was good for Ian Smart to look elsewhere. Hopefully, someone else takes a look at him.
ball cadillac continues earned next smart williams year
If you have Cadillac Williams on your team, you're probably not very smart if you don't give him the ball and give him opportunities. He's earned that. If he continues to do as he's doing, he'll see the ball a lot more next year than he did this year.
break cadillac durable good guy hoped inside run williams
Cadillac Williams is off to a very good start, ... He is what he is. He is a durable guy that can run inside or out. He is a guy if he can break through there, he can get going pretty good. So, yes, he did what we hoped he would do.
accident believe
This should in no way symbolize what he is all about. That was an accident -- I believe that.
guys
We've got to get some young guys to make our team. There haven't been many do that. I'm not being negative. I'm just being honest.
beat guys sure
We've got to always beat them up a little bit, make sure we keep these guys grounded.
putting situations
We wouldn't be putting him in these situations if we didn't know he could do it,
best eyes hard listen next open players
We're not perfect. But we'll play hard and we'll make the corrections and our players will open their eyes and listen and do the best they can to get better next week.
running
There is running room. We, as a whole, just have to keep pushing.
ball five gave last obviously promise week year
We gave him the ball in week five last year so we obviously thought he showed promise and improvement,
extra gave ready today
We gave him one extra day, and he'll be ready to go today, ... He's going to be ready to go today and he's going to play in the game, so he's all right.
again ball flag hit hoping instant replay threw vote
We kind of threw that flag hoping the ball hit the ground. And fortunately for instant replay (it did). I'll vote for it again this year.
