Bengals extend Shawn Williams

Kudos to the coaches and front office, for having the confidence to extend a worthy player.  Team friendly deal, at that.

Christ.

Unproven?  Dude stepped right in, and performed like a veteran.

Damn good extension, if you ask me.

That was the same impression they gave about Hunt having a "monster breakout season"...two years ago, Binns being uncoverable, Tate ready to step into a big WR role, Simpson ready to step up for years, Dennard being the best rookie CB they've ever seen... etc etc etc.

There's wayyy too many examples of Bengals coaching staff just fluffing the hell out of players that were turds, that I will now only believe hype once I see it on the field.

I understand it's just a thing they do, but it just means I won't put any worth into their words. Boy who cried wolf, or in this case, coaches who cried superstar.

I get what you say, about the team/coaches fluffing bad players in the past, but this is not one of those times.  Williams stepped in, performed like a veteran, with virtually no drop in production from the position. 

Williams is not some rookie hoping to make the team.  He is a drafted and developed player, that bided his time while a superstar held the position.  He's now mature, and ready to assume the role.

Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
