A big year coming for Packers TE DJ Williams

July 3, 2013 By Bill Scott

To say the upcoming NFL season is a big one for Green Bay Packers tight end D.J.

D.J. Williams

D.J. Williams

Williams would be an understatement.

After being selected in the 5th round of the 2011 NFL Draft out of Arkansas, the Mackey Award-winning Williams has done very little.  In his first two seasons and a total of 26 games, Williams has netted just 9 catches for 70 yards and no touchdowns.

Entering his third season in the NFL, Williams said he knows exactly what is at stake.

February 26, 2013 By Bill Scott

As you may or may not know, I hosted a Monday night talk show with Green Bay Packers reserve tight end D.J. Williams last season.

DJ is back home in Arkansas at the moment and apparently not lacking for anything to do as you can see in this Yahoo Sports Minute.

Slocum leads Packer’s special teams to success

October 6, 2012 By admin

Coach Slocum (L) at practice

With an erratic offense and defense, the Green Bay Packer’s special teams have been a consistent high point of the season.  They reversed the momentum of both home games which resulted in wins for the Packers.

The dynamics of the games against the Bears and Saints changed when a fake field goal was scored for a touchdown, and a fake punt allowed a drive to continue for an eventual touchdown.

Head coach Mike McCarthy credits the improvement over the years to special teams coach Shawn Slocum and his philosophy on special teams.

Audio: McCarthy on improvement on special teams :20

The proof of this improvement in special teams lies in the numbers.  2009 was Slocum’s first year as head special teams coach.

2009 saw the Packers average 6.9 yards per punt return while allowing 10.1 yards per punt return. Currently, they average 13.5 yards per punt return and allow 6.2 yards.

As for the fake and trick plays that have occurred this season, Slocum has deemed the plays “necessary.”

Audio: Slocum not surprised at use of fake plays so far :11

Tight-end D.J. Williams says the success of the trick plays take pressure off other special team players. [Read more…]
