Joe_5700 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I would much rather prefer he zipped his lips and let his playing do the talking...but maybe I am just too old school... To each his own. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I like his attitude, but if he ends up behind Valentine again he's just going to look like a horse's ass, and it will be open season for the very media members he scolded. i wouldn't let the media bother me, he can play himself into a role.........he knows that.

Scratchtown Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Sorry to break it to ya KW, you are a back up. If you aren't a starter, you back up the starter. You're not a starter. 1 Quote Link to comment

Enhance Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I will say this though. He needs to be concerned about practice and who is also trying to win that starting spot instead of what the media is saying. I've never seen anything in the media negative about him. He wasn't the starter last year so I don't know what he expects the media to say. That's kind of where I'm at with this. Love the fire, love the drive to succeed. And yes, injuries have plagued him. But, he.... wasn't the starter last year. For all intents and purposes, when he was healthy, he was a backup. I don't know what he wants them to say. I also personally just found it a bit childish. I'm paraphrasing, but he said he wasn't going to do interviews until the media got it right? There may be some gray area with him but dude... if you're going to get frustrated being referred to as a back-up... you're going to have a rough time in the spotlight. Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Maybe Kevin felt empowered because he got a lot of snaps yeaterday since VV was not practicing. We have had a good 3/4 man rotation last year with Collins, VV, Williams, and Maurice, but It was in that order. Still, I hope this attitude stay during practices. We will get a salty DT game for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I think four exclamation points misrepresents his comments. It was said with a one exclamation point tone. 1 Quote Link to comment
cornographic Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 The DL will have to be relied upon this year, so I hope KW walks the talk. Quote Link to comment

I AM FOOT FOOT Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 I think four exclamation points misrepresents his comments. It was said with a one exclamation point tone. It was at least 2. the original thread title was just Kevin Williams, im not sure why or by who the rest was added by. I got modded I guess? Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I want to know what pressed Williams to say something. I don't read every Nebraska related article - I'm wondering if it was a recent publication/opinion by a local journalist that ticked him off? Damon Benning did some reading between the lines Friday and seems to think this could be a power play by Williams - show the media and fans he has confidence and that perhaps everybody's assumption that VV will start is not a fair assumption. The media and fans have created the narrative that VV and Collins will be starters, and though we have our reasons for doing so, perhaps VV won't be next to Collins on Sept. 5. Quote Link to comment
