Re: Buffalo takes DT Kyle Williams, LSU

Yeah I watched him a lot this year with Wroten he is a hell of a DT. Well he was in college anyway.

Not a bad selection at all.

Kyle Williams DT 6’1 299 LSU
By: Robert Davis
Kyle Williams has been a vital part of LSU’s success over the past few years. He’s been a mainstay on the interior line since his sophomore season when he finished the season with 41 tackles, 6.5 for loss, and four sacks. He improved on all of those as a junior, when he tallied 57 tackles, 12 for loss, and six sacks. He earned All SEC honors in 2004. He finished his senior campaign with 60 tackles, 7.5 for loss, and 4.5 sacks.
Williams’ biggest strength is just the intensity he plays with on the field. He will never be outworked and goes full tilt until the whistle blows. He can take on blockers, hold his ground, and make plays in the running game. Williams also shows the burst off the snap to get penetration and make plays in the backfield.
Kyle is not a great natural athlete. He won’t beat players with raw physical ability. Without that standout athleticism, he may lack the pure size to be a consistent all around threat like he was at LSU. With his attitude and toughness, Williams is going to play in the NFL. He may not ever be a standout playmaker, but he is a player you love to go to battle with. Williams should get taken somewhere from the middle of Day One to the end of it.

Kyle Williams | #95
Defensive Tackle - LSU Height: 6'3"
Weight: 295 Williams is the epitome of what it means to have a non-stop motor in the game of football. He is a consistently tenacious pass rusher from the DT spot and never stops moving his legs. He gets off blocks extremely well, it is hard for offensive linemen to grab onto him and keep him contained. Williams is not just a straight forward pass rusher though, on screen plays for example, he will double back completely and make a tackle fifteen yards away from the line of scrimmage. He is not a stationary DT by any means that just takes up blockers, Williams is a flat out playmaker on the football field. I love his toughness, intensity and determination on the field. With all of these assets that Williams possesses I would not be surprised if he finds his way into the 1st round of the NFL draft this year. If not, he will no doubt be a 2nd round selection. Williams is a rare prospect at DT and there aren’t many players like him. He is a true hard nose tough player that will continually come after you all game long.
Strengths:
• Has a non-stop motor that runs all game long
• Plays the game with great intensity
• Plays until the whistle blows
• Can really get off blocks well
Weaknesses:
• Does not have ideal height for a DT
• Lacks true outstanding athletic ability

The '06 Draft Pass Rushers: Kyle Williams January 3, 2006	By Fred Pasek fred@draftboardinsider.com
When the draft rolls around in April of 2006, there will be 32 teams lined up around the corner, hoping for a chance at a handful of players who will have proven themselves over the 2005 season to be pass rushers worthy of high draft picks. Each of these players will have a “signature move”, a move they will rely on as their most effective at getting to the quarterback. Invariably, this move has a direct correlation to the player’s physique and strengths. DraftBoardInsider.com has taken a closer look at the best moves of some of the most likely players to fill the top of the 2006 NFL draft board. Kyle Williams, DT ― LSU, 6’2”/295 lbs. [official bio] Defensive tackles rarely get credit for sacks, but that in no way means they are not an important part of the pass rush. Though it’s difficult for the big men inside to break free and get good shots at quarterbacks due to the amount of traffic around them – there’s usually a guard or center to help out on the inside, and backs are taught to look inside first before turning their attention outward in pass blocking since the inside men have the shortest line to the quarterback – a good defensive tackle can still help tremendously by pushing his man back into the quarterback’s face. The deeper a defensive tackle can take his man, the more confined the quarterback will feel, and the tendency is for the QB to drop back even more, putting him farther away from the line of scrimmage and his receivers, as well as making him more accessible to the outside rushers who can take a deeper route on their rush around the tackles. Kyle Williams, LSU’s enormous defensive tackle, has been one of the best tackles in college this year at pushing the pocket, but he’s much more than that. In their game against Alabama, Williams lined up early in the game against second string center Taylor Britt who was filling in due to an injury. Britt will some day be a fine player, but he wasn’t ready for the speed and power that Williams brings to the position. LSU head coach Les Miles likes to take his stud tackle and line him up cocked at an angle to the center, a nuance of interior line play made famous by the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive genius of the 70s, Bud Carson, and his use of Joe Greene. When Coach Miles feels he has a center who can be overmatched by Williams, he will turn him to the side and have Williams drive him, not just back, but back and to the side to open lanes through which stunting linemen or blitzing backers can rush the passer. Williams is remarkably quick off the ball, getting his hands off the ground and into his man with lightning quick reflexes. Once he has his hands on the blocker, he uses his massive arms to move and rip the player. Early in the game, the Crimson Tide’s line was having a terrible time trying to contain the LSU defensive line, particularly Williams. But ‘Bama got a break in the first quarter when a quick completion and a roughing the quarterback penalty moved them inside LSU territory. Unfortunately for them, they got into a third and long situation. Williams lined up cocked inside on the right shoulder of Britt and fired out with the snap. The Crimson Tide coaching staff was looking for Williams to drive the center over and back and had their linemen on the lookout for stunting linemen and backers, but LSU crossed them up. Instead of having Williams drive his man, they had him club the center with a power left jab and made him the rusher going through the hole he created himself. Williams shot staggered the young center and knocked him off balance and that’s all Williams needed. He quickly swam over the center right shoulder with his right arm aimed his sights on a helpless Brodie Croyle. Croyle had set up eight yards deep in the pocket, but it wasn’t deep enough. Williams has a much longer stride than one would expect from a 6’2” tackle and his acceleration and burst in the open field is such that, were he to be given outside contain as in a 3-4 DE position, he would have no trouble covering the ground to the outside. Williams covered the ground in three quick strides, and, even though Croyle saw him coming the whole way and had plenty of room to move, Williams was on him so quickly that the quarterback could do nothing more than toss the ball weakly away as Williams brought him down by the legs. Williams’ outstanding athleticism will make him ideal for any position along the defensive line. And, no matter what spot that is, he’ll be a handful for the opponent’s pass protection to deal with, as he charges at their QB.

Re: Buffalo takes DT Kyle Williams, LSU

NICE pick! He fits the position and played it well in college. Not a "name" guy, but one who has the potential to make Tripplett and McCargo better. I like it.
