Joe Redskin:

Just to put your mind at ease, I do not think highly of the Mike Williams signing.

Like the Bridges' signing, the Williams signing is "low risk" - - other than the danger that he might mistake Albert Haynesworth's leg for a roast beef and eat half of it. However, the upside is limited due to the fact that he has been injured and out of football for a couple of years AND his weight ballooned to the point where he is now 60 lbs over the weight he used to play at.

Let's do some math. Training camp starts in 8 weeks. To get to playing weight, he has to lose 7.5 lbs a week - - without losing strength.

Since it is a low risk move to bring him in, there is no need to bash the FO for doing it. However, the chances that the Williams move turns out to be the key to the Skins making a run to the NFC Championship Game are vanishingly small.
