How do you get Owen Williams was everywHere? He made 2 plays on defense? One a sack & the other he ran down a RB from the side. The only defensive players I see everywhere are AJ & Reeves-Maybin. The rest are sporadic at making plays. Jordan Williams has been the biggest disappointment thus far on defense. You can say the same for Maggitt as well.
Owen Williams is credited with 5 tackles and 2 sacks on the UT page. It's one thing to have to be pessimistic and dismissive. It's another to disregard facts when doing so.
It seems like all of his plays came on like two straight series. I remember thinking at the time that he was killing it... during that span.

I'm sure conditioning is an issue. I remember some talk after he got here that he needed a lot of work in that regard. Good to see him contributing today.That's definitely right. He got red hot for a few plays. It'll be interesting to see whether or not he is ever able to sustain that kind of effort.
The play he made near the sideline impressed me. I didn't expect him to be anywhere near the tackle when it was made.
Nice to see 3 capable DTs thus far - Williams, O'Brien, Williams... Hopefully Mixon and Sawyers develop as well
I heard Mixon's name a couple of times. Saulsberry returning healthy would help quite a bit. We need more production from the ends, Vereen and Maggitt.
I don't think that the D line will be a huge concern except against power running teams like Ga and Bama. They will improve all season as well.
