4 TDs in the last 4 games. Ajayi's been a monster and deserves the praise he has been getting but Williams has been a big factor as well. Great compliment to Jay. Add in Drake and you have got to love the talent and youth at that position.

Has Drake proven anything @RB?
I did not believe in Williams but he has turned out to be a great tool in our offense, whether he is in the backfield or lined up out wide, he seems to make plays. Glad Gase is finding a use for him and I hope it is the blueprint for how we intend on using other weapons that don't fit traditional roles such as Drake or Grant.

People said that our RB's are terrible and no depth. I guess they know more than the coaches and are present ar every practice.
Williams is not starting RB material but that doesn't mean he is not a very useful role player who executes well when given the chance. He reminds me of Patrick Cobbs, the unsung 3rd part of the wildcat 2.0 and jack of all trades. People wanted Williams cut for Pead (prayers for him) because of a couple nice moves in preseason. As I said then, Williams has made plays in actual NFL games, and now we're seeing him get better now feeding off the energy of Ajayi.
Another reason I was so, so glad to see Foster retire. With a solid passing down back like Williams, who executes well in space, and a guy with potential there but who hasn't had opportunity yet in Drake, he was taking downs away from better players.

What this staff has done with Damien is astonishing. I thought he was going to cut this season And that comes form someone who loved him when we picked him up.
I've always said he's physical perfectly built to be a NFL RB. But he never had the vision or dedication.
All of a sudden it's all clicking for him. he's a completely new player this year. Great job by the coaching staff.

He got one carry today for 9 yards on a 3rd and 23 play (or something like that).
IMO the coaches still aren't comfortable with his knowledge of the playbook.

D-line, 'Lonzo and Tanny with the o-line was THEE most fulfilling performance of the season by far
Omg I wanted Foster to get cut so bad. When he retired I think I was grinning all day.

I watched a lot of Bama games so I feel confident in my knowledge of Drake. I think he's a special talent i worry more about his durability.

We're treating Ajayi like a bellcow and Williams has been producing in his moments too, and those are also some of the same type of plays that Drake would be used on. Just not enough snaps right now for all three.
Williams smoked that LB. If you can get that matchup, he's a sub-4.5 guy, so very few will be able to run with him down the field.
Happy to eat my words on Williams. It was his untimely mistakes in prior years that worried me.. The guy makes plays and he and Tannehill have some chemistry on the long ball not usually seen with running backs. That TD catch today looked like perfecfion from both QB and RB. Kudos to him for making the most of his opportunity with this team.

Ya because he wasn't a highly talked up draft pick, people Dont talk about how athletic he is.
I've said it a million times, he's built the way you want a NFL RB built.
