    I watched John L Williams. I liked John L Williams. John L Williams was a favorite of mine. Will Johnson is no John L Williams...

        Maybe not but the kid has played one game after being away from football for an entire year and he has already looked better than David Johnson. IMO that is a big win for the good guys. The kid will only improve.

            Not necessarily IS, but definite COULD BE. Kid has legit athletic abilities like John L.

            More than an undersized Guard playing in the backfield.

                So let me get this straight. David Johnson WAS the 2nd coming of Eric Green, but moving him to Fullback was a mistake???

                  Channeling Lloyd Bentsen?

                  I also liked John L.

                  And, it was John L. It was not John...
                  Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

                    IMO David Johnson WAS NEVER anything. He wasn't a good TE and we wasn't a good FB. Where did you ever get the opinion that me or anyone lese thought he was the next Eric Green?

                        Sorry. Did a quick read and I missed it.

                        I should had been suspicious when I had to ask myself is Sid was serious.

                          So if I hear you right.............??


                          Ok Ok, lets hope we have a John L Williams on our hands.
                          I also think John L should have been on the field for the 4th and Goal pass in the AFC Champ Game. FOUR MORE YARDS!!!

                            who referred to him as John?

                              That's depressing.

                                This is CRAZYtalk.
                                I want my fullbacks to catch first.

                                That is why I cant understand why we didnt think of Chris Rainey as our FB.

                                In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:
