Tampa's WR Mike Williams set for a bounce back year?

Last year Williams suffered from a horific 2nd year slump scoring only 3 TD's and putting up 200 yards less than as a rookie. How bad was it? Bad enough that many wonder if he'll even be a full time starter this year, his third in the NFL. Third year WR, hmm, that used to be a magic number though not so much of late. Enter one Vincient Jackson into the equation. Who'll draw the doubles? Hint, it won't be Williams. I look for a bounce back season for Williams and reccommend that you grab him late. You'll be glad you did.

:wave: Hi, I am Devil's advocate...and your best friend. Don't draft Williams not even late. Why? Welcome to the Big 10 form of Football in the NFL. Schiano wants to run, and only run. He will make Blount or Martin or both Rb studs, and play the field position game and let Freeman only pass when necessary. When that is, I like V.J. and even Dallas Clark more than Williams. Not saying Williams is a mistake totally, but I just don't see him getting anywhere near where he was as a rookie.

It's not a reflection of his talent or ability but rather his situation.

Tampa Bay with a gifted wide receiver is like a dump truck with performance tires.

Not trying to steal your credit Phic.

You said it first...I just dumbed it down a bit so the natives could understand. :cool:

Only issue with Phic's cold water on this guy is that while the new coach loves to run, he also went out and got a big target in VJax to pair with Mike Williams.....maybe he has more passing in mind than Phic wants to think......

I think Mike Williams can have a bounce back. Maybe not to rookie year, but solid WR depth bounce back. I don't think I;d stay away completely, but like the WR4 target that others have discussed.

Uh, it is in part DUE to VJ being there, I have little or no expectations for Williams. Any passing happening will be directed at VJ, and Clark if able, not to Williams.

For clarification so Miller can read better.... :cool:
