Ryan Talbot
@RyanTalbotBills
Per source, the #Bills and a few other teams wanted to sign Antonio Williams to a reserve/futures deal. Joe Schoen made a push for Williams to join the #Giants. Williams can provide backfield depth and contribute on special teams.
Great another Bills practice squad signing for BBI to obsess over

Couldn't hurt to have him. I'd take this move over Getty's signing of Stewart.
Some info...  
Simms2McConkey : 1/27/2022 3:25 pm : link
Basics

24 years old; 5'11", 215 Lb, 2 NFL seasons, undrafted out of UNC.

NFL:

only played 1 NFL game--12 carries for 63 yards and a catch for 20 yards in the Bills' 2020 finale vs. Miami. Signed a reserve/futures contract with BUF after the season.

Spent 2021 mainly on practice squad, Bills Wire called him a "fan favorite."

College:

Spent two years at Ohio St. and another two at UNC. Had 48 carries for 322 yards and 3 TD in his senior year.

Played behind Michael Carter and Javonte Williams so never really got his shot in Chapel Hill.
1 game in 2020  
KDavies : 1/27/2022 3:25 pm : link
12 rushes, 63 yards, 2 TDs. 1 catch, 20 yards.

In college had two years at Ohio St, and two at NC. Backup there. 202 rushes in college (avg 5.7 yards), so very little tread on the tires
here are his highlights  
KDavies : 1/27/2022 3:27 pm : link
from the two TD game.

Young player who was stuck behind really good backs at OSU and UNC. Looks like a good athlete. Slow 40 (4.7 at the combine, but 4.52 at his pro day), but good 20-yard shuttle (4.2, Barkley's was 4.24, Tiki's was 4.0), with a 36-inch vertical jump (Barkley was 41, Tiki 35.5).

My point is, at your suggestion, I have refrained from commenting on posters who post the same stuff on every thread for months and months. You said that I shouldn’t be a judge of that and I decided not to make those comments anymore.

This was entirely different..A poster made a comment that I disagreed with and I took it as a complaint. I did not say he should or should not post his opinions, I merely disagreed with it..

There are so many problems with the NYG roster it is frightening.

Certainly no elite players and only a couple of names that would even garner some Pro Bowl votes; minimal core players and playmakers; veteran starters with injury problems or required rehabs; high to middle draft picks kept on scholarship; so many JAGs starting or near starting; very little impact from youth; large free agent deals to wean off from; even bottom of roster special teams are weak.

Quite possible the worst roster of all 32 teams. Schoen has a lot of work to do...
