---------------------------

Looks like Williams could see ALOT of action! Nicholas not too sure about but lets play for real and get a real chance to see him play. Eric Weems just a good story and a chance too prove himself if not he will be sent packing. IM SO READY LETS GO FALCONS

I hope this means Williams will see some solid action, I dont expect Tye to get any serious playing time for a while but hopefully he learns quickly because I think he has all the tools to be our best corner.
