Kasen Williams
With the end of the preseason coming soon, and the likeliness we won't throw the ball much this saturday, I wanted to ask you guys your thoughts on Kasen Williams. What do you expect from him going forward? Do you think he has regressed? Is he just being eased in after his injury? Will we ever see him back to full strength, and can the team perform without a big possession receiver?
I'm not sure about the answers to these questions, but I can't help to feel a little sad about Kasen.
I can't believe he is already a senior. He was never gonna be Calvin Johnson for us but I feel like he could have been the main man of the passing offense at least, like a Kearse. He is slow but he is tough, big and physical.
He is already running out of time and he never really became the star we thought he would be. Part of this is the shitty bubble screen Sark ball, part of this is injury. I really hope we get to see him shine this season, he deserves it and we might need it more than we think.

Sark ruined him. Enough said on that.

He should be the collegiate Anquan Boldin - but the ball was favored for body types more akin to promoting the bubble screen revolution.
He looks slower than the slow he was before the lisfranc, sadly. There is still hope as the timeline for complete recovery is 18-24 months. -
I think he's still working his way back to being 100%. A Lisfranc injury is no joke. Hopefully he'll be 100% by the time the REAL season starts, because I definitely think we're going to need him to have be a factor in order for UW to have the kind of season we're all expecting. Every QB needs a safety valve, and Cyler doesn't appear to have one right now other than taking off and running. Having a reliable possession receiver like Kasen can help limit the hits Cyler takes, which is vital to our success. If Miles gets hurt, TSIFO. I have zero confidence in Lindquist and even less in Williams given that he lost the QB
battlecripple fight while Cyler was suspended. -
I think it's a combination of coming back from an injury, our subpar passing game, and Kasen's lack of getting separation which isn't good when your QB is not terribly accurate nor has any zip. You got to throw Kasen jump balls as I highly doubt there are very many players in the league who could out jump Kasen for a ball. Though, that is how he got hurt, but he is either healed or he isn't.

Either way, it will be interesting. -
Kasen was never that great. He's been simultaneously overrated and underutilized his whole career. He was a doog wet dream after great games as a frosh against WSU and Baylor. Like Keef Prce, he was never as good as he looked in the Alamo Bowel.
My expectations for this season couldn't be any lower. He should have redshirted this year but Jaylen Johnson got kicked off the team and screwed that up. He'll have some nice games blocking for bubble screens but be pretty invisible otherwise. He'll have a solid Arena Football career once he fully heals. -
Good poont. He could do well in the AFL given that he has good hands, and the fact that the only way he could get separation from a DB is if he got a running start.dnc said:Kasen was never that great.

Under coached + Poorly utilized = Sarked.
