Madieu Williams - out again

Anyone else concerned that our stud FS has yet to play a down, doesnt plan to play Friday and hasnt practiced in quite some time??

I had high hopes for this secondary with Madieu in there, KK just doesnt cut it anymore. I mean he his serviceable but I believe Madieu changes the gameplans of opposing offenses.

Not a good thing at all. He's missed just about all of training camp and now 3/4's of the preseason.

Just worried about how long it'll take him to get back in shape once he's healthy.

Hate these mysterious injuries the players here seem to have anymore...granted the HIPAA thing is the reason for it. But this has to be more serious than just a "strained or sore" hamstring.

Disappointing.

I'm not worried that the guy who, fresh from college, came into camp ready to be a starting safety, stepped in and played corner because our corners were hurt, then moved to strong safety and finally to free safety and was pretty darned good at all of them is injured. He's being held out right now because it's better for him to miss preseason and be 100% for the start of the regular season when he will be in his natural position, where he excelled at the end of last season than it is for him to get some preseason time and be at 90%.

As for KK, he just doesn't cut it anymore when he's having the best pre-season he's ever had? When he's just coming in to his own? Down be surprised if you see him become the free safety and Madieu at strong soon. KK is always around the ball. He tackles better than most of our guys on the dline, and I'll take him any day, especially at his price.

As they say in the land downunder, No Worries Mate!

Weren't they saying "back spasms" were the hang-up with Madieu W.? Those can be painful and nagging/lingering, but shouldn't be disabling. I can't help but believe that if this was a regular season game that he would be in there. In the meantime, I agree that KK is a decent playmaker and seems reliable. I agree at this point - No Worries (about this anyway).

If the Bengals have to start Kaesviharn, we are screwed (not literally). I mean, does anyone else remember Kase trying to COVER a receiver? He looked like a newborn calf wobbling around. He plays hard and get a few good tackles, but there is no way that a defense that starts him can be considered playoff caliber.

KK's not Madieu in coverage, but he's not horrible either.

I dont think KK is terrible either... I think the play ( or rather non-play ) of him getting steamrolled by Jamal Lewis has left an everlasting impression that this guy is some kind of cupcake out there....He isnt a cupcake by any means.. Lewis has put a lick on alot of safties in the NFL... Thats why he is one of the few runners to gain 2000 yards in a season...

I see KK as a player that doesnt have a wealth of talent but gives the effort and has good instincts to play at a level that wont hurt the team.....

Alot of safties have come and gone and he's still here so he cant be as bad as alot of posters make him out to be.....

I think he's one of those guys that posters feel comfortable knocking on.....
