    Pat Williams

    08/01/06 01:32 PM
    THE NEWS
    The Vikings placed defensive tackle Pat Williams on the physically unable to perform list on Monday. Vikings head coach Brad Childress told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that Williams was overweight when he reported to training camp. Williams logged 66 tackles last season.
    Our View
    Well, there's a reason we call him "Fat Pat". He's struggled with weight issues in the past and was actually praised by Childress for dropping close to 15 pounds earlier this year. The Vikings are free to activate Williams at any time from the PUP list.

    All World tackle who we had to have back, right realists?

    Re: Pat Williams

    you arent honestly suggesting that our D didn't suffer from the loss of Williams last year, are you?

    I don't recall anyone saying we want him back this year, but he played well last year while our DL looked like ****.

      Re: Pat Williams

      I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
      "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
      You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
      It was all       true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
      He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can       mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

        No, but not signing him was the right thing to do. I think he got about $13 MM.

              What we tend to forget is that Pat didn't develop into a big time DT until he was quite a bit older than Anderson is now. Pat was nowhere near a star going into his 3rd year.

              Why don't we give Anderson and some of the other young guys a chance to become good veteran players?
              Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                Damn man.. cue up the Fat Albert theme song...

                Look on the bright side, had he been re-signed, TD and Mularkey might be pacing the sidelines at St. John Fischer right now. Yeah, the Vikes overpaid a little for an aging player - welcome to the NFL.

                IMO, Childress and the Vikings staff are at fault here too, they should've kept tighter wraps on him. But I guarantee 1) He drops that 15lbs. REAL quick, and 2) It doesn't happen again.
