Damien Williams could start in Denver

[The K MO SHOW]

With the latest injury(knee) adding to a chronic shoulder problem , Lamar Miller could be sitting out against Denver. This could open the door to the starting debut of Damien Williams. Williams fits Lazor's type of offense, he has great hands, very good at catching balls out of the backfield. I see the Fins utilizing his talents in that aspect of his game. I see linemen like Pouncey, Smith and Thomas (former guard), doing a lot of pulling and setting screen blocks up for the very talented Williams. Denver gives up receiving yards to running backs and this game might be his game. Also I feel the emergence of LaMichael James may happen too on Sunday. As for Daniel Thomas , they may use him on picking up blitzes but the word out since the day Williams blew that block on that block punt , he has been working very hard on his blocking , coming out of college he 2 of his strengths were pass blocking and catching. I'm excited to see what he can do and it would be nice to have him and Miller rotating in and out the rest of the season so Miller does not wear down . Miller has had a history of shoulder problems going back to his Hurricane days when he had Mike James doing a lot of the short yardage runs to keep less wear and tear on his shoulder. I think the Dolphins should incorporate that same idea. We got some talent and lots of explosive speed at the running back position, it's time to showcase it.

Whether he starts or not, i'd like to see what he can bring with an Increased workload. This game's as good as any imo.

I certainly like the talent of Damien Williams. He has shown a lot of flashes when given time. Obviously the key for him will be consistency if/when given a share of the workload. That 3 and 24(?) conversion vs Buffalo showed great effort and awareness along with a pretty nifty one-handed snag of the pass. I don't see him as a workhorse back. Those days of that type of back have been phased out. D. Thomas will have to step up and play a crucial role as well because I don't see L. James contributing much. I just honestly don't see L. James doing much of anything in the NFL. He was simply signed because of his faint familiarity of our offense and injuries. A body at RB basically.

IMO when the Buffaloe game ended Lamar Miller wasn't taken from the game or he wasn't carted off the field and he didn't go down in that game same with Charles Clay , imo something fishey is going on , we have a lot on the line in this game upcoming , it seems like one player after another is coming up on the injury report ? I think its a bunch of crap , hell if Sanders can take a hit like he did and come back and play the next week im not sure whats up because we have had 10 days to rest and get back healthy but instead of players coming back ,its like they ust played a game 2 days ago , from what im seeing its like Miami is folding and giving this game to Denver even before we play ,all I see on NFL Network is giving Tannehill a thumbs down on Fantasy , as if he isn't going to do anything against Denver , there talking about teams making the playoffs but not mention of Miami , I don't understand WHY Miami is sitting Clay and Miller , imo IF we don't keep winning they will have plenty of time to rest when thereat home watching the playoffs at home , Denver understands these games need to be won ,Sanders was hurt ,but Denver knows Sanders is a big part of the team ,and if there to win he needs to be in there ,Miami needs to take the same approach with Clay and Miller , because there both a big part of Miami winning , and from what im seeing , it looks like Miami players are getting worse by being out and not playing , I mean Miller and Clay walked off the field against Buffaloe , but now there in bad shape or probably not going to play ,this is crazy.

Miller and clay both got injuried in practice this week. Miller is still playing. Clay isnt.

That's pretty sad getting injured in practices when nfl practices are so soft, they aren't even really hitting. Toughen up

 

[The K MO SHOW]

Some injuries are non-contact type of injuries. Like the Carson Palmer one. Anything can happen in practice or sometimes all the way up to warmups before a game. So you never know, it's sad but what can you do. In Cincy the Bengals shut down Bernard for 3 games , the rookie Hill came in and had 2 150 yard games , Gio is back now and will slowly get back to where he was before getting banged up. I think Miller is similar, although I seriously doubt if he misses anytime it will just be one game. I think it is pure speculation at this point but we can't dismiss what Williams can do and how he can improve an already much improved running game. It's a great problem to have when you got talent, I love both RBs and think we should use both of them, especially if we are thinking playoffs, it's a long hard run, got to keep your players healthy and ready if that day comes and we are in the post season. We will be fine, I got a lot of respect and confidence in coach Benton and his O line. Williams will make the most of his opportunities and shine. No need to worry, this line will make any back look good, just got to keep our backs healthy.

Hopefully he puts in a Latavius Murray or Jonas Grey type performance this week...

I bet he does better with more carries. I don't know how Denver is against the run specifically but overall I'd be happy to see Williams getting more reps, even with Miller getting his regular reps. That way we could pass a little less but might become more explosive when we do.

My friend just tore her ACL playing soccer with her kids. Non contact injuries happen all the time.

He doesn't know what he's talking about, just leave it alone.

Activate Limichael. We need 2 RB sets with Clay out

 

[xXwarXx]

I still don't trust his vision, but he does have a lot of talent, and is built the way you want a nfl rb built.

I hope miller is back asap, he was hitting the openings as cleanly and quickly as any rb in the nfl. He's actually been underrated this year imo.

Been wanting to see him get more playing time. Would make for an excellent 1-2 punch with him and Miller.
