Williams Brings Size And Savvy

Pat Williams was the first free agent to sign with the Vikings in March, and the team is hoping his impact on a young defensive line is nearly as quick. He brings size, experience and a Pro Bowl anchor to the middle of the defensive line, even if he didn’t feel appreciated in Buffalo.

Pat Williams signed with the Vikings less than 24 hours into this year’s free-agent signing period, and his acquisition is a key component to the Vikings’ continuing theme to build their defense from the front back.

Besides back-to-back double-digit sack seasons for Lance Johnstone and Kevin Williams – and the latter going to the Pro Bowl after 2004 – the Vikings’ defensive line hasn’t had a consistent presence, one that puts fear in offenses. But around the league, from sports-talk radio shows to print journalists, NFL observers are talking up the newest version of the purple’s front four.

Johnstone has put in his time in the league, but Kevin Williams is entering his third NFL season, Kenechi Udeze, Spencer Johnson and Darrion Scott their second and Erasmus James his first. Yes, the Vikings’ defensive line is generally one of great hope and promise – and not as much experience.

Besides Johnstone and Pat Williams.

Nice story.


I did have to shorten it and added a link to the original. As a rule, we can't post entire articles - just a sample of it and a link to the original.

Damn copyright laws....

Washed up DT...Im sorry, I was saying it long before they even decided to let him walk....We got some young guys that needed to be put in the lineup and by the end of the year this year, Pat will be an old crusty on another dissapointing, underachiving Vikings team....

He'll probally get injured anyway...but not after they start out 7-1, then win 2 more games the rest of the year..The Packers and Lions offense will light them up again, and the team that is always EXPECTED to win wont. Eagles or Falcons own the NFC.

Sounds like just another player with "They didn't give me what I want...and they can't win without me" syndrome.

The last time i said this i got negged twice grr! BUT Pat Williams shouldn't be a top paid DT/NT. He is a space clogger. Granted they are needed to free up LBS but I recall last season that Pat rarely did much and seemed to miss alot of playing time to fatique. I miss him a bunch and used to get very excited whenever he made a nice play ((similar as i am with every Moulds catch)) I think his price tag is nuts. I'M 100% content with the pressure Adams will bring and most likely Edwards too. I just prefer the DT's that bum rush the line rather then eat blockers..........

I'm not fat, they are!

Edwards played better alot of times last year and I'm sure he can stay on the field more then Pat has the last 2-3 years. I'd be suprised if Pat was on the field 50% of the defensive plays and not because of injury because his fat @$$ was exhausted. Our defense will not miss a beat.

I was under the impression that the coaches decided who to play and when. Wasn't there a problem once when Adams didn't want ot come out? I mean if the players want to play more and aren't allowed, how is that his fault that he doesn't play as much?

Seems to me like another "Hey we loved you while you were here but now that you aren't you suck" attitudes.

Sour grapes from the Fat One.

Good. Someone's gotta light up TD. Antoine Winfield said the same thing. So far Winfields gone to the playoffs while we haven't under TD. Of course if it wasn't for TD's moves either ,they wouldn't have gotten the contracts they got from those teams. TD needs to get us to the playoffs soon. It won't be long before the fins will be a better team under Saban. Don't forget, the Pats have owned TD as well and the jets have been to the playoffs.

Guess what Bud? TD dumped Winfield last year for the same reason that he let fat*** go this year and our defense never missed a beat! So piss on Winfield and Williams. And for the other zoner talking about the turncoat attitudes towards PW, he started the bull**** first by slamming TD. Our defense won't miss a beat this year either.
Can we get one of the Buffalo Zoners to unload a couple dozen eggs on the facade of PW's auto detailing business?
