Without the Williams Wall

Anyway, I haven't written a decent post on here in a while. I'm back at school now and I've been hella busy.

But even this won't be an eloquent and entertaining fan post, per say, I'd still like to take the opportunity to inform you all of an opportune development for the Pack.

In case you haven't heard, Williams and Williams, The Williams Wall, Williams sqaured, whatever you want to call this Purple two-headed Monster, will probably receive a suspension from the NFL for violating the substance abuse policy. Even though both Williams will probably claim they didn't know they were taking a banned substance, as Deuce, Will Smith, and others involved in this recent sting have done, that won't fly. According to league policy, players are responsible for what's in their body. Period.

So the issue isn't if Williams and Williams will be suspended, but when? Well, if not this weekends game, then next Sunday seems likely. And who do the lovely Viqueens play next week? You guessed it. The Green and Gold.

Talk about great timing. If both Williamses are slapped with a suspension that leaves a big vacancy in the heart of this defense. These two players are the foundation of the Vikings stingy run-stopping scheme. Between the two of them, they draw the attention of up to 4 players on any given run, opening up EJ Henderson fly in and make tackles. With them out, not only will the Vikings front 4 lack their penetration up the gut, but there LB's will have to deal with guards and centers and fullbacks coming out to get a piece of them. In the passing game, Kevin Williams great athleticism is something that must be accounted for. And the more attention you give to K-Will, the less you give to DE Jared Allen, a proven sack-master. With the Williamses out, the Packers can focus their attention on neutralizing Allen.

Of course, this is all speculation. There's no guarantee the Williams Wall will be suspended for next week, if at all...but the probability is sure high.

And hey, I'll take a win however I can get it.

Losing the Williams Wall is not the biggest problem for E.J. Henderson

His biggest problem is that he’s done for the season with a foot injury. The three players that made the Vikings run defense great were Henderson, Williams, and Williams, without them all you can do is show videos with crucifixions and await the inevitable Brad Childress firing.

o wow

my bad, good catch, Brandon.

Childress should’ve been fired mid-Summer after he passed on drafting a decent QB and continued to heap undue praise and support onto T-Jax lap. A concussed chimp hammered off a bottle of Jag could’ve had the foresight to realize that Jackson was not the answer. Childress is a fool. And he has an ugly mustache.
