Williams whiffed but Stacy had already turned. That was just a bad run by Stacy. He turned away from a hole toward an empty side of the field then turns it straight into the only defender over there. Just a rookie mistake.
I didn't see that haymaker! Awesome!

Ehh...it seemed to me that Stacy was planning to follow him and turned when he saw Williams wasn't going to make the block. Hard to tell...but Williams's effort sucked regardless of what Stacy did.
fearsomefour said:The thing with Williams that is so frustrating is he can move well enough to get into position (in this case beyond the line of scrimmage) he needs to....then misses. Pass blocking he gets in trouble when he has to change direction, but, if he can lock on he will usually shut his guy down. Basically I think he has a limitation to his game in terms of changing direction, he just cant do it well. It is very frustrating because he is about 80% there in terms of being a very good player, but, when that limitation shows up it is bad. I was really pulling for Williams because you can certainly see the potential he has, but, he plays so "nose over toes" he just cant change direction (or so it seems). I would certianly have no issue with either Saffold or Smith (or Barnes or Jones) getting a shot at LG.

There is no comparison between Shelley Smith & Chris Williams when it come to hitting the target on the run. Shelley is one hell of a pulling OLG! Now Shelley's pass blocking & power man on man is just average for this 297 pounder but boy his pulling is a thing of beauty. Some of those best runs by Zac came when the Texans DL got caught sleeping & totally surprised when the Rams pulled Shelley & he made two very large holes.
As Saffold rounds back into full health on that knee one thing that Saffold is ...is Versatile. Saffold could be the back up OL'er for four (4) positions on game day. The last two games Fisher has gone into them without an reserve OL'er who could play the tackle posts when they went with Smith [OG] & Barnes [OG/OC]. Fisher most likely will go into this game with 8 OL'ers instead of 7.
As shotty tries to figure things out please let me suggest that Shotty play Shelley Smith more than Chris Williams & let Shelley do some pulling for Zac in that running game. The Panthers may get caught sleeping like the Texans did.
