I'll put this piece from Bobby here since there are people who don't read the main board....

 

Bobby Burton

 

I’m a Cam Williams fan.

Daniel Jeremiah, ESPN NFL draft analyst, talked about Williams yesterday.

It’s nice, yet unsurprising, that Williams is starting to turn heads. We talked about that possibility a lot heading into the season. Despite several false start penalties early this year, Williams has otherwise been dominant.

But what I want to share this morning about Williams is a story I don’t think I’ve ever told publicly.

I was not there for this, but a good friend of mine was. So here goes…

As a member of the Pancake Factory in its inaugural year, Williams and his fellow offensive linemen went to the Dell Children’s Hospital in Austin as part of their service work in just the second month of the Texas One Fund-sponsored program.

Williams was one of the players who really took a shine to several kids. And they took a shine to him. You know how it goes, some guys are just naturals in those situations.

Williams was this gentle giant who was also very nice and playful with them, handing out teddy bears and just hanging out.

One of the kids also liked Williams’ brand new silver or gold chain. The kid played with it and played with it.

Without the kid asking and just before leaving, Williams took the chain off his own neck and gave it to the young patient.

Now, I don’t want to go over the top here, but Cam did not grow up with an inordinate amount of money.

He showed something that day, a selflessness, generosity and kindness, that goes much deeper than what he does on a football field ever will.

And for that reason, more than anything he ever accomplishes in sport, I’ll always be a Cam Williams fan.

Losing Kelvin Bank and Cam Williams is gonna hurt when they both go in the 1st rd, but Flood has re-srocked the cupboard. Goosby at LT, Baker RT, Campbell RG, Hutson LG, but my only concern is who will take over C. I'm not sure Cruz is ready, but who knows. Maybe one of he or Robertson ball out. 

Flood knows what he's doing. We'll obviously take a step back, but Goosby will be 2nd-3rd rd pick unless he just dominates, which is entirely possible. He's looked good in limited, but work is m still needed to be done.

the hell we will

You don't think? We have the talent, but they need to gel. They'll be dominant by ou, but I expect a learning curve. Baker will be a force at RT and Goosby at LT, but I will worry about the G position and C position. I'm not sure how good Robertson at the position, and I don't believe Cruz is ready yet. It's just minor worry, but again # we have Flood and these guys are getting valuable reps, which will make them better. 

Doesn't matter, we're gonna whip everyone on our schedule to make it back to the CFB playoffs. In Flood I trust.
