Golden Nuggets: Trent Williams appreciation post

49ers’ Trent Williams: Tipping plays a bigger deal on social media than field (paywall)

“On most dropback passes, you know it’s a pass because you look at personnel, you look at down and distance, you look at the time of the game,” Williams said. “We’re in a four-minute offense, how often are we going to pass the ball? If we’re in a two-minute offense, how often are we going to run the ball?”

Trent Williams discredits ‘nonsense’ accusation of tipping plays with stance

“Just because you know it’s a run don’t mean you know what type of run. We just installed 50 runs with six different looks, each run. So, I mean, I can show you run all day. Do you know which 50 runs we’re running?”
