[Williams could. The fifth overall pick in the draft said he talked to his father the other day about what to expect in his first game. They appeared to assume victory, so what were the specifics for the young tailback?] We said 150 yards, ... So I came up a little short. |
As a player, I would say yes, but also as an athlete I'd always want to do better and feel that I can do better. Coming into the season, you set your goals high. |

Bring 'em on. The neighborhood park would be fine. |
