Avery Williamson

Had 9 tackles and 5 assists. 2 tackles for loss and one sack. And I never even noticed how good a game he was playing. Seems he might be another pretty good pickup

 

With the injury 's to our ILB and what they are paying him this season I would recommend they retain him for another year if they can.

 

Absolutely, they are hexed at that position and can’t have enough cover there going forward.

 

I thought he sucked during the game lol at least that’s what we all said

 

In 2021... Bush and Williamson would be formidable as starters at ILB. Spillane and Vince to backup... if the cap would allow.

 

That'd be great. Lots of flexibility. Williamson was a highly-ranked guy as recent as 2019 but injuries derailed him. I was excited when we got him because he has a ton of upside.

 

Many of the tackles were down field after he gave up a catch. He can't cover at all. Sack was nice. Nice depth, good against the run, but needs to sit on passing downs.

 

And that's exactly what will happen once Allen and Spillane are back.

 

Don't know this 4 a fact, but knowledge of our D, maybe what's holding him back in pass situations.???..

 

Couple of times, he couldn't shed blocks. Others, he looked out of position. But, he did have the sack. He has quickness in small spaces, but he isn't necessarily fast. He's a good tackler. I think more reps in the system is all he needs. Not flashy or spectacular, but he's a good pro, he can definitely help this team.

 

He is no Devin Bush, but I would rather have him in space than Spillane.

 

Right, Spillane doesn't have his quickness. Both seem to be intelligent players which always helps.

 

He is no Dirty Red either, which is a good thing.

 

He will play an important role in the Browns game. They’ll run a lot.

 

Great assessment. He's not going to mimic Bush or Shazier, but he is defiantly a step up from the Jon Bosic and Sean Spence's of the world.

 

I bashed him on game thread in 1st half. MUCH better 2nd half

Tough to retain plus w Bush coming back and Spillane thet might draft another ILB to save $$ for other needs

 

not all of us.

 

He didn’t, but the sack was nice.

 

Avery Williamson's contract expires after this season anyways. Whether or not he comes back is not the crux of the issue. Finding depth for ILB is.

 

Better game then Leonard had. Better year as well.

 

Hey, if you don't mind making yourself look foolish with posts like this, be my guest.

 

it's true is the problem. AW also had to switch teams and sit a few games to learn a new defense and because of covid. He played sparingly until the last 3 games. He had a pretty good season considering. Better then our usual players. Vince stunk last game.

 

There isn’t an LB on this team that is good in coverage outside of Bush being “adequate”.

All of them are too slow. Would love to see that **** limited. At least Williamson has the athletic ability to somewhat keep up with guys.

Williams was getting burnt by Doyle yesterday. I absolutely hate seeing him in man coverage.

 

Busted. I admit..I thought he was lost out there on the first couple of series so I will eat my words.
