    I did too. I thought he may have turned a corner (no pun).

    How can one twist the important stats (yards per carry/reception). Cmon now. Facts are that KW has done excellent when given a chance -- and him not getting playing time is a head scratcher.

    I can remember when Scott was going to be the next great running back. I can remember when Williams was going to be the next great running back. Now Ridley is going to be the next great running back. Next summer Lache Seastrunk is going to be the next great running back.

    It's a repeating scenario . . .

    Williams is excellent WHEN he catches the ball. They have thrown at him a few times early in games this year and he has dropped the ball when he has been wide open. It seems like the coaches have not included KW as much because his head doesn't always seem to be in it.

    He can look great and then look like he hasn't practiced for two weeks in a matter of plays. It's strange. But tonight would be a good time to try and get him the ball down the sideline since it's usually a safe pass.

    Keiland is not a good pass blocker.
    In fact, I would say he is below average.

    Sure, if he is going out for a pass, or just taking the handoff, he's pretty good.

    However, if you need him to pick up a line backer, he ain't great at it.
    That's why Scott has beat him out every year.
    Scott was able to do it all.

    see above.

    I would watch (and focus on)him often in the stadium.
    He would take terrible angles to pick up a linebacker. Sometimes the guys would blow right past him, others would go through him.

    So an already limited offense becomes even more limited when he was in the game.

    You're off here. His stats don't mean he's done well when given a chance; rather, are a tribute to our coaches knowing when/what situation/which play calls to use him.

    What situations are those? I think he's capable of being the featured back.
