Leonard Williams is a Man Appreciation Thread

[Michael K.]

I'm thinking that a Seahawks fan and Williams' kid brother borrowed his car, the fan wrecked it, and after Williams' brother yelled that Williams was first going to shit and then was going to kill them, said he could fix it and proceeded to park it outside Seahawks headquarters with "SEAHAWKS SUCK" spray painted on it.

"Nice car Charles!"
"Don't Fuck with it!"

It should have been OK, but I guess the Seahawks fan didn't have a dad with a gnarly set of tools. I used to quote Spicoly at every party in college. "Hey, there's no birthday party for me in here!"
"All I need is a cool buzz and some tasty waves and I'll be fine!"
"Well Mr Hand, I've been thinking. If I'm here, and you're here, doesn't that make this...our time?" There's nothing wrong with a little feast on our time is there?"

So, how do we feel about Byron Murphy. Wasn't he supposed to be a difference maker. Ssems to me he's been a non-factor so far.

This film review claims he has been dominating. Defensive tackles don't tend to get a lot of attention, he's probably doing his job since the defense seems better

Some of what Murphy does is hard to quantify in a box score. He commands double teams, which creates lanes for linebackers to make plays in the run game.

Plus, Murphy missed three games. The Seahawks lost all three and he was clearly missed in the interior when they failed at stopping the run.

Dominating all the way to a 58.2 PFF grade lol.

Here's an interesting look at him. It's from earlier in the season, comparing games he played to the ones he didn't, the success of the defense in general. Believe this was before the LB shakeup.

My point is more to argue that he is so effective as a rookie already that he accomplishes two things this roster desperately needs. On the one, he masks what appear to be considerable holes in both starting linebackers’ talent or ability to quickly identify run gaps. On the other, he not only receives enough double teams, but beats them often enough, to allow Boye Mafe, Leonard Williams et. al to do what needs to be done.

I don't have a problem with a 58, that's ranking him basically average. I think there's things about certain positions PPF fails to pick up, most likely Byron is doing what he's paid to do

[Sibelius Hindemith]

Well i hope that's the case and, yes, PFF is less reliable in grading linemen than other positions. I watched him in the Jets final drive and he looked like he was half-assing it but he was probably gassed by that point. I'm going to try focusing on him vs the Cadinals.

Maybe he got a drag of meth before the game and went crazy.

I'm thinking that a Seahawks fan borrowed his car, wrecked it, and after his buddy yelled that Williams was first going to shit and then was going to kill them, said he could fix it and proceeded to park it outside Seahawks headquarters with "SEAHAWKS SUCK" spray painted on it.

Wasn't that a story line from Fast Times at Ridgemont High?
-Excellent-

I forgot to mention that his dad was a television repairman with the ultimate set of tools.

I made this in Spicoli's honor:
