K'Waun Williams Cut

I knew he wasn't a starter...

"Expected back soon" sounds good, but I did not realize he was in a close competition with Taylor.

Man T, every single man on the roster better be in competition with someone.... If not, it's Pettine Ball all over again.

I hear ya, D.... just was not aware it was "close"...

lol... even a thread a week is too much?

The Management has simplified it... probably in preparation for his return...

Upper right corner... click on your screen name... lower right of drop window you'll see "Manage Ignore Prefs"...

It cant be close....Taylor stood out as "not looking good" in the game, which has been his issue since he was drafted.....Kwaun has a solid 2 year history of exceptional(top stuff) kind of play.....

The whole competition thing is just coach speak.....if he's healthy, it'll be kwaun

and Im really sorry to hear he could be down, cause we need him......

Williams was suspended and docked a game check? Evidently he us upset at his status on the team? Anyone know what he did?

Make sure you have the right Williams.

Uh, what the hell, man?! K'Waun had tremendous injury concerns, but he could be a terrific nickel corner when healthy. Apparently the coaches weren't happy about Williams "scratching himself" from a recent practice, and also getting a second opinion. There are protocols to follow and perhaps he didn't do it correctly. I don't know, but I can definitely tell something is very wrong, and it wouldn't surprise me if Williams was cut. I hate to think that because we're so thin at DB, but it has that smell to it.

I posted about K'waun in a K'Waun thread, not sure where mud got Tramon haha

I hope this all gets worked out. We are going to need K'waun, he played pretty good last year. Even if Haden stays healthy all season, Tramon has lost a step and Jamar Taylor hasn't shown much. Real game action could quickly expose Taylor or Tramon, and K'waun could easily move into a starting spot.

This is getting crazy. I really hope cooler heads prevail, but this has the makings of a terrible cluster chicken. Suspending a player for a game is NO JOKE, and is not done lightly. I hate this crap.

Only a real pass rush is going to make anyone in our secondary any better.

Such is life with a "player's coach"...

I'm guessing there is more to the story and it sounds like Hue is following through with the 'crap from you guys won't be tolerated' stuff.

Jamar Taylor somehow went under my radar, former second round pick we got in a draft position trade, just 25 years old.

I am now officially intrigued, gonna watch him tomorrow night.

I wonder how much of this stems from K'waun's injury and concussion history. He might of felt ok with playing for a series or two since that's what the 1st team would of played. After getting put on the 2nd team and knowing he would have to play alot more he decided the injury risk was too much for a preseason game. After Haden had that arm injury last year and tried to play through it, ending in a concussion, I don't blame K'waun being iffy about playing injuried.

The "offered a full workload" strikes me as odd for the first preseason game. He has shown to be a solid corner at the slot and as fill in for the #2 spot in his last two season. I don't think he is in the Gilbert or Mingo position to show me something to keep you on the roster. If he had any injury, he shouldn't of been at a full workload for a preseason game, he is important to this defense even as the 4th corner.
