K'waun Williams Rookie of the Week

This thread should have been titled "Man this kid from Pittsburgh sure looks good in brown"

Exciting. Esp since our #6 overall has been a huge dissapointment. Gilbert is flat out bad through 4 games.

The bulk of Patrick Peteron's contributions his rookie year were on special teams as a return man. He had one good game against Dez Bryant, that was about it.
I have no idea what Gilbert isn't being used the same way but I'd put him back there on punt returns and special teams coverage. Develop that aggressive mindset required for the NFL.

I voted for Williams too.
As far as this week goes, I think we need PRESSURE on big Ben & penetration into the backfield to also disrupt the run game. That being said, what the hell do I know?

Hah Mike, with your long standing Browns legacy you know a lot. I'm wondering how much time Gilbert gets by default and how we adjust with Williams and Skrine.
Gilbert had 13% of the snaps Sunday working the outside in the nickel with Buster taking the inside slot assignment. That was until one series showed that it was worth benching him in favour of swapping Buster outside and Williams inside. If Haden is in civvies come Sunday, I can see skrine and, by default, Gilbert working the sides, keeping williams more central but as you say, we need to be winning the trench battle to protect that precarious backfield setup.
But Mike, what the hell do I know.

Howie,
You have forced me to change my signature! LOL

K'wan's sack of Bitehurst on the Titan's last possession was a thing of beauty. Onehelluva defensive call. More, please

K'waun fans need to see O'Neil's presser. He's damn near giddy when speaking about Williams.
"I think that you would struggle to find a Corner that was drafted this past year that is playing at a higher level than K'wuan Williams right now." - Jim O'Neil

Who's having a better rookie year at the position? Robys not too shabby, dennard doesn't even play in cincy.
Excellent find for sure

The fact that Gilbert was busting ass covering kicks as a gunner speaks volumes to me. For a kid that said he had "effort issues", there appear to be none of late.

Gilbert's battle is with Skrine for the outside CB spot opposite Haden... K'waun has locked up the inside CB position on this team... which is basically a starting spot in today's NFL... He's shown great ability...
Doesn't help to have such a solid secondary going against a team like the Texans who only play 2 WRs and load-up to run the ball...
Teams have started to notice that our strength on D is in the secondary, so I expect to see 2 TE sets and I-form with the traditional FB. Also, might see some of the 6th O-lineman sets depending on our opponent. Our D-line has not only played soft all year but they have been hurt, so why throw the ball when you can get 4+ yards per carry on the ground.
Sure, good for Ka'waun. But, we need a plan to stop the run... preferably without having to put one of our safeties in the box. Against Houston, that forced Haden/Skrine to play off and gave them the 6-yard out wide open all game long. That's a bad combination... 4 yards on the ground on 1st down, 6 yards through the air on 2nd down... Not exactly gonna work for us...

Another feel good story sent packing...
Need to change your name to "thenewbuzzkill"...
But since it's dead...
Speaking of 6-man O-lines... I was wondering about us trying one, but I've never seen them employed in anything other than a power scheme.
