Can we move James Williams to EDGE already?

[Rocketcitycane06]

Move him to the bench

He's playing like a 2 star!

 

[TipDrill]

He would have done nothing at Alabama don't blame coaching. Plenty of players have failed at Alabama cut the crap.

Opportunity. I didn’t say that he would have genius.

 

[TurnoverCane]

Blades is terrible, too. We lack so much and the coaching isn’t doing us any favors. This is absurd.

blades made open field tackles today with no coverage busts from what i saw. kitchens and blades are our 2 smartest safety's imo

 

[SayWhat]

Mans doesn’t want to tackle a 5’10 175 back on the sideline, but moving him to the front 4 would be a good idea? Interesting.

That's what I was thinking. He doesn't want to mix it up with anyone, so I'm pretty **** sure lining up across from a tackle is the last thing on the football field he wants to do. Even if he did get past that tackle the QB or RB would bounce off of him like he's a bumper in a pinball machine.

On a serious note, he tackled better last year. Regression sessions courtesy of Mario and staff.

Title should be could we move on from James Williams already

He’s doing what he did last year, this year. He hasn’t regressed, he’s stayed the same.

Learning to use your arms seems like it would be easier to do…even Ricky Bobby figured that out

 

[Miami[]_[]Smoke]

He’s an athlete. Not a football player.

He has a bright future on American gladiators im Sure…

 

[NZ Cane]

Yea trying to stay rail thin to play safety...not working.

 

[JMG]

He should see the edge of the bench

Gilbert frierson all over again

Frierson was never that bad and never got that much playing time.

 

[Canesfan_134]

Saban or Kirby would’ve turned him into a 1st round EDGE prospect. Also feel like Cristobal would’ve had him make a position change if he came in Mario’s first year.

Hate to knock on a player but this kid is not a safety or even a LB at that. The fact that he was being compared to some of the all time great prospects to come out of Dade is a joke. He was a 5* because of size and athleticism. He is nowhere near a polished football player. He could possibly make a move to OLB if they can teach him how to wrap up…

 

[Gables Canes]

He tackles like he’s playing ******* pinball. I’ve never seen anything like it. Dude just aimlessly tries to run into people with a shoulder lean, while having his arms glued to the side of his body. It’s worse than Pee Wee League form.

 

[JgDaCane]

Move him to the portal. Need to rid this team of South Florida 7 on 7 players. Go up north & gets some kids that will at least play hard & smart.

 

[Cane4life18]

Many here made fun of Banda's coaching but he had his safeties playing well here.Not only JJ but both Jenkins and Redwine came in as average 3* after thoughts and played well enough to be drafted.

Have you seen what he's done at Utah St.? Man, bring Banda back as a Co-DC. Man could recruit and developed his players.

Go watch the tape again.

 

[rok]

He's a step slow out there. Just not instinctual at all.

 

[Josh]

He’ll transfer after the year dw guys

 

[canes461]

Can’t cover nor tackle for ****.

If he continues at this pace he will not even sniff the NFL. Not sure who is advising this kid but they are doing him a disservice.

Good luck young man. Get your degree...

 

[Canesfan1899]

The hybrid safety experiment is not working.

Someone please show him how much money edge players make in the NFL.

Is he physical enough to play de?
