[Williams has rejuvenated a rushing attack that ranked No. 29 in the NFL last year.] Last year we didn't look to run the football first, ... We were a passing team. We have more balance now. |
And once you see that it works, you're going to see it again until you can protect it or beat it. |
Every year there is something different, the `in-vogue' blitzes, if you want to call them that, |
He's been hurt a little this year, ... and that's kind of kept him from being the type of player he was last year. But I fully expect him to get healthier and [regain] the form he [had] last year. |
Hopefully, we can get a yard or two out there. |
I can make better decisions, ... I need to stop turning the ball over in situations. |
I can't tell you how much it helps, |
I don't see last year as being representative of me as a player, ... I just haven't thrown interceptions like that [19, one more than in his entire college career]. As the year went on, I found myself trying to make plays that weren't there. In this league you can't use injuries as an excuse, and I won't. I know I have to play better. |
I don't think any player worth his salt is content to be a backup, especially someone who has been a starter before. So I'm not going to resign myself to anything. I'm going to try to be the best player I can be and help the Chicago Bears win. |
I really didn't know if it was an incompletion or a fumble or what the ruling was, ... I came out wanting to throw the ball to Cadillac in the flat quick, and the ball was really slick with the field and it just came out of my hand. |

I think I could have come up with a better one than that. |
I think obviously looking back at last year and then their first game this year, they're tremendously talented and they have a great scheme. They have a lot of speed at the linebacker position, they have two guys up front who are really good at stopping the run and two guys on the edges who are good at rushing the passer. They do some zone blitzing, they play man-to-man coverage, they do all-out blitzing. They mix it up well. |
I think they were really aggressive. I think both Anthony Davis and Dan Buenning were very aggressive on the left side. I don't know if you realized but the majority of the time when we were running the ball it was to the left side of the field behind those guys. I think they did a great job of establishing the line of scrimmage. And they did a better job in pass protection than I think any of us thought they would, so that was very encouraging. |
I think we have a good mix. We have some guys that have played a lot of football that are on our team now, but I'm really excited about the young guys that we have. Just the energy and the youth, there's a lot to be said for that. |
