Reports have surfaced
Of Bills DT Pat Williams and Redskins LB Antonio Pierce visting Winter Park in the next 24 hours. The 6-4 Williams has been a run-anchor for the Bills for the last couple years, having played under Ted Cottrell earlier in his career. Scouts INC on Espn.com Insider says about him
"Williams is beginning to age, but has not showed many signs of it. He has developed into one of the most consistent and disruptive forces at the DT position in the NFL. He possesses a great combination of size, power and quickness. Has good initial quickness, plays with leverage and shows the ability to control the point of attack. Has strong hands and does a good job of keeping the offensive lineman off his frame. Moves well for his size, he shows the ability to shoot gaps and is capable of disrupting plays in the backfield. He's not nearly as effective as a pass rusher as he is versus the run, but when he is fresh and in the game on a passing down he shows the ability to get under the offensive lineman's pads and has the leg drive to collapse the pocket. Williams is among the top-ten run defenders in the NFL and, if he continues to keep his weight in check and maintains his conditioning, he should have at least two or three seasons left in him as an upper echelon two-down starter."
Antonio Pierce who the Vikings signed to an offer-sheet that was matched last year by the Redskins. Is a smart, rangy linebacker that could help the Vikings.
