Yaaaaasssssssssss.

This was expected . . . both players were likely to make the roster. Congrats to both!

BJ played his way on the 53 with game 4. He'll likely be the one cut for prich though.

I didn't expect BJ Daniels to make it. I thought Kevin Smith had shown a lot more but whatever. Chris Matthews apparently didn't have to prove much either. They obviously have some packages they want to use him in.

Cutting Kasen is going to be a huge mistake. And kiss the practice squad goodbye because he'll get scooped up.

Let's dial that back in.... he wasn't drafted by anyone for a reason. He's a project with fringe ability.

Fringe? No. He was one of the best receivers in the country when he signed with the Dub. His career there got off to a good start before injuries derailed his career. When I see him out there, he does not look like a fringe guy at all.

I am a Wazzu fan, too. But I think you should take your own advice and dial it in... He absolutely would have been drafted had his injuries not played such a big part. If he's truly healthy, this is a cut that we will regret.

Huge mistake? I would have liked to see him get a shot but it isn't like he was Odell Beckham.

We'll see. Maybe 'huge mistake' is a minor overreaction... I just love his size and his skills at the position. If he's healthy he will have a very good NFL career.

Yeah, I thought he'd make the 53, but on thinking it over, there is a realistic chance he clears waivers to be put on PS.
His injury history may play a role in who is willing to grab him for their *Active Roster* and cut someone else.
Plus, WR is a position that takes some time to develop and master in the NFL; just ask G. Tate.
I sure remember Williams torching WSU in an Apple Cup a few years back.

That gruesome leg injury his junior year combined with UW having no quarterback that could throw a ball his senior year doomed Kasen, which is a tragedy.

 

[Rob12]

I hope he can, oly. And it's obviously completely possible that I am wrong on him. But he passed the eye test for me with flying colors.

 

[olyfan63]

Kasen's not done yet... Opera ain't over...

And my eye test results during preseason also said "NFL-level talent" on Kasen.

Injuries happened.....not the same athlete he was. ..I get you like him and have followed him since high school but i trust js and pc...

So is BJ our new "Seneca Wallace"

Except I don't see BJ throwing a 90 yard touchdown pass..

He's a good player . . . better than Kevin Norwood, who is also pretty good. Certainly a better pure WR than Ricardo Lockette or B.J. Daniels.

I am a big fan of his (my kids go to/went to Skyline). When they played that big ESPN game against Oaks Christian he was far and away the best player on the field. But I just think keeping Lockette was the safer choice (if that is what it came down to) although I do think of Williams as a potentially better version of Kearse.

 

[olyfan63]

So does all this mean Kevin Smith is "in", or did he get cut too?

T.B.D.

 

[Rob12]

Wazzu... I trust them, too. Didn't mean to imply that I didn't. And it's not just because I like him; at times he looked like one of the most skilled receivers on the team in the few opportunities he got. Especially with a guy like RJ Archer throwing him the ball.

Whether he's the same athlete or not remains to be seen.

 

[Rob12]

I think keeping a 29 year old gunner on an elite roster is a mistake - especially one that has seemed to fall off a bit recently. And, Lockette is prone to some very stupid penalties at times. If it was a Lockette/Williams decision, I don't like it, even if I ultimately completely trust PCJS. They're not immune from making mistakes...

 

[two dog]

I was hoping the Seahawks liked Kasen Williams enough to keep him.

Now I'm hoping nobody else likes him enough to take him.

 

[Tical21]

BJ Daniels is a great dude, probably a great practice player, but isn't a NFL quarterback, returner, or receiver. You're entitled to keep 1-2 guys for team morale purposes, but prospect-wise Williams and Smith are both superior.

I agree that Kasen gets swooped up. Once team saw he is healthy and plays with a physicality, there's a team that will take a chance on him.
