Re: Williams sucked in his second year?

[ChomS@tiac.net (Steve Chomicz)]

There is no question in my mind that Williams played worse last
season.  He should have had a great season but his overweightness made
him lose his speed.  Any player can look good in a snap shot.
Williams has potential that he has to develop further.  He's one of my
favorite players so I'm not trashing him cause i dislike him.  I just
have high expectations that he should be able to meet.
