LOL - he does what LSU folks used to love seeing their D-lineman do, destroy the QB whenever he is in the game, except they don't have more than 1 or maybe 2 guys who can even do it half as well as the old guys did. And, he is from Louisiana to boot and was given the thanks but no thanks by Miles.

We know why you are mad. It's cool.

Without a double team, Tim Williams is almost unblockable.

Only if they are as bad as Bama's LT Saturday. Slow and bad feet.


LOL, you mean our 3rd string LT? Well, Williams also ran roughshod over MSU, Auburn, Florida, and Michigan State.

Do LSU fans feel the same way about Williams as they do about Landon Collins? Why or why not?

Not sure what the point of this thread is.



I'm new around here, but I have to agree with this. I know it's the offseason and all, but this thread seems to suck a bit more than usual.

Robinson is more a run blocker, but he has to be better than what played Saturday.

London Collins is probably the only recruit since Saban has been at Bama that make people mad. Everything else is just tigerdroppings anger.

Tim Williams and Eddie Lacy probably would have been ours if we tried, but we let them walk. For every guy we let go to Bama that went on to be really productive, there have been just as many that haven't gone on to do anything. It's a risk you take, but I like the guys we are getting too so it really doesn't matter.

That is a good question. I have no problems with Williams at all. But Collins always aggravated me. Can't really say why exactly, but I do think differently about them.

Best pure pass rusher I've seen at Alabama. Not old enough to remember DT- obviously few that have ever lived have been on his level, but Tim Williams plays like a savage.


I don't know if we'll ever see another DT but Williams' quickness does remind me of him.

Because of his run blocking. The entire OL looked poor Saturday, but at least I didn't see them hold as much. They have all summer to learn that technique.

Yea, left tackles get picked as the #1 OT in the NFL draft solely because of run blocking.

Greg Robinson was considered for that spot for that reason. That was two years ago, you need to stay away from the bammer websites for your retorts.

Don't be surprised at all when his sack total is lower despite playing more.


The number is 10.5 from last year. I'll take the over in 2016 and feel pretty safe about that bet barring injury or suspension. If he plays, he gets more than 10.5

While true, Greg Robinson was also one of the more athletic tackles drafted high in recent memory. Raw, but he was incredibly strong, fast and was thought to be someone that could be a very good player given time.

Watch this...

"Brandon Harris is going to have one of the most incredibly disappointing seasons for a LSU player in recent memory. Y'all have such a lofty opinion of a guy that only completed 53.6% of his passes that its almost comical."

Magic.
