Meet Chris Williams, our new KR/PR

If he fixes the mental mistakes, and continues to have electric returns through the preseason, he'll make the team. He would contribute a lot more than Turner or Hartline.
 
I don't know how anyone can complain about the mistakes Williams made yet still write Turner onto the roster despite his three drops. The reality is that both of them could make the roster despite their mistakes, and if anyone's stock really fell it was Turner's. Turner epically choked last night, there is no way around it, and some wanted to trade Cam or Bess just because they felt like Turner could be good enough to step in and replace him. Turner showed why that is not going to happen, and while he does enough nice things to keep on the final roster, I doubt the offense is really going to make any special allowances to get a guy on the field who dropped the ball (literally) in his big chance to prove something.
 
He worried me when he took that punt at the 7 and ran backwards to the 2, but after he was chewed on the sideline he really turned it on. He impressed me the rest of the game.

Would still much rather use Ginn on returns.

Why? I believe this kid average 32 yds a return...I highly doubt that Ginn would match that...and wouldn't it far better for Ginn just to worry about receiving...than add more to his brain.

Lastly...Williams has speed and the feet that Ginn wished he had.

Williams...4.88 gears

Ginn...3.10 gears
 
He played like a rookie with a lot of promise whose number one enemy is not being a seasoned professional. Could have been first action nerves too. He will get smarter. Coach him up and take a chance on his raw athletic ability.

bad idea in my opinion. Only worse idea is not using Hester on returns

Agreed. Bears are mighty ****ing stupid for taking one of the, if not the most electrifying return man of all time off returns so he can work on being a WR.

Sidenote, whatever happened with Cobbs returning kicks. I thought he did a pretty good job of it when he got the chance near the end of the year.

Personally I'm all about whats best for the team. Ginn showed in college he was a top level return man. Im sure if Desean Jackson can handle both well that Ginn should be able to. Williams was real shaky and is so small that he cannot do much else

the first job of a returner is to hold on to the ball!

the punt returns are scaring me with the bobbling... the kick returning is fine, but i think if he doesn't lock down BOTH of those jobs he wont have room on the roster, if he can sure up the kick and punt return duty i think we'll make the room for him.... if he is having too much trouble handling punts i think hes gone, regardless of how good he may be on kick returns...

I think you hit the nail on the head... He will have to do both to stick around and he made a couple of bone headed mental errors on punt return.. But no matter what he surprised me and impressed me none the less... It would be nice to have a home run threat in the return game...
 
he looked explosive he just needs to field the ball more cleanly and dont field a punt at the 4 yard line come on
 
I'll tell you what.... he won't be on our practice squad if he's not on our roster. I promise you that.

After watching Ginn...you still think he's a top returner? I could care less what he did in college....running around slow players may work in college...but it doesn't work in the NFL. Just because Williams has a small frame doesn't mean he can't play and be successful. By the way Ginn is 5'11 180 as per the Dolphins website...you think 3 inches and 5 pounds is a big difference? Desean Jackson is 5'10 175...Hmmm.

Let me also add this;

Mark Duper 5'9 187
 
Well here you have the report on camp dolphins day 15. I guess he impressed coaching staff as well on KR duties, so i think they'll give him a shot to keep him on the team doing that; which makes me happy for the guy and mostly for the dolphins!

During punt drills, Brandon Fields launched some bombs well over 70 yards and undrafted rookie returner Chris Williams worked on letting the ball bounce when he’s backed up inside his own 10-yardline.
