All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Admitably, I agree. I think Roy is would actually be a better SS and is playing at that high level out of position. I think Mike will be a special RT anyways. I'm not all that disapointed.
because stud safeties are harder to find than RTs.. imho.
we could have easily got someone like kile turley this offseason, and i would be just as happy.. i am not UNHAPPY with MW.. i just think that we paid alot of money for a RT at number 4. it would be different if he were a dominant LT.. but a dominant RT at number 4 making all that money..
for my money, i would rather have roy williams..

Big mike will anchor our line for the next decade, and will prolly start a run on pro bowls this year that i expect to go a long way. if we didnt have big mike last year, i dont think henrys production would have been nearly as good. and Turley is getting about the same money as Big mike, but big mike dosent come with all the locker room problems.

I agree, for a RT the 4th pick is a lot of money..in that sense I understand.
Roy Williams looks like he could be one of the best safeties ever.. and that is just after his rookie year.. i just love the guy.. and safety is so hard to find a TRUE player at.

Lets not put the kid in the HOF after 1 season. I just love the OL, you can never have enough stud linemen, they are involved in the play on EVER SNAP where as a safty may only make 4 or 5 plays a game at best.

I have to say I was impressed with him also, but he was a man amoung boys in College, I wasn't sure how he would do in the NFL, but I thought he could make a impact and he delivered..Much better than I thought. I hope Parcells new ways don't take away from his aggressiveness. But I think he will continue to flourish if he doesn't get hurt... If he continues in this path, I could see him in the pro bowl this year, and the Hall 5 years after he retires.
I agree with Tatonka. I assumed, as did many, that MW would be our left tackle, which would have better justified his selection over RW.
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?
ed reed is solid, no doubt, but roy williams was great last year.. on a bad defense. ed reed was good on a good defense. i would take roy williams over reed 8 times a week, and twice on sundays. but either would be great.. i just have no confidence in our FS spot... but if we had wini, clements, williams, and wire... good god.. sick.
and mike is being paid 60 mill to do a job we could have gotten done at close to the same level for 20 mill.
if he moves to LT, and we can keep JJ when his contract expires, at RT then i wont complain..
but i dont see JJ wanting to lose his left tackle pay day coming up soon.. and i MW has to be the highest paid RT in the league, correct?...
it is kinda like paying a average-good Center top 10 Center money w/ trey teague.

I agree, I hope Mike Williams moves to the left. I guess unfortunately it doesn't look like it this year, but maybe by next year. He will be worth much more to us there. I've heard that he played Right Tackle in college only because the quarterback was left handed, so Mike protected his blindside, not because he wasn't capable of playing Left Tackle. I hope he gets converted. Either way though, at least he does a lot for the running game on either side.
