weepaws 3,158 Posted November 1, 2021 We don’t know what J Williams could do if he had 18-22 touches. I’m ready to find out. But unless Gordon is injured and I hope not , only because I don’t want to see any injured, or the Broncos who just traded Miller to the Rams decide they are done and give the keys to the rookie and I doubt that’s going to happen. If the Broncos think that they would like to trade Gordon they might want to show the league how he can perform, as an Williams investor on two leagues and a Gordon investor in one league there both frustrating to own, and I think it will be that way this season as long as both stay healthy.

After playing for four teams over the past five years, and never impressing anyone enough to get even 60 touches in a season--coupled with the presence of Peterson--this doesn't seem very likely.

AxeElf 787 Posted November 5, 2021 7 hours ago, John Fox said: never had the chance, now he does. He had a chance when he was drafted--and I had my eye on him because he had been a stud at Boise State--but as Wikipedia sums it up... "McNichols was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the fifth round, 162nd overall, in the 2017 NFL Draft. He was the 17th running back selected in that year's draft. He exhibited maturity issues and inability to read defenses which was documented in the twelfth season of Hard Knocks and was released by the team on September 2, 2017." He'll be approximately as useful as Giovani Bernard. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was gonna drop him after he didnt get traded, but decided against it. He is the direct back up, good oline and running game there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
