RMFW got picked up by the Cowboys this season, and while I haven't seen him much (don't follow the Cowboys or the NFL enough to be aware of that stuff), he just had a couple nice runs against the Ravens. First, he trucks a defender 15 yards downfield and then makes a nice cut on the next play to get himself into the end zone. Really hope he can stick in the Cowboys' backfield.

Yep. Announcers talking him up.
Good to see him get into the end zone!
I'm rooting hard for him to succeed. Love the way he runs.
Derrick Hopkins missed the tackle that let him into the endzone tho
He's looking great. It would be awesome if he makes a roster.
Ryan had a nice TD. He looks like hes back and playing well.
i was pretty excited when i saw him running well and heard his name. looked good, getting low... knocking defenders over. loved it.
Not a Cowboys fan....but Definitely a Ryan Williams Fan! I hope he succeeds in the backfield this year!
Yeah, that.
Even in silver/blue he still LOOKS like RMFW running the football (I guess that's because he is).
Notice he's still repping VT with his backpack
I love the fact that he has a worn out VT backpack sitting right next to him.
"Some of the guys on the sideline said, I thought you was gonna juke him."
"Man look I was waitin' on the sideline for 3 quarters, somebody gonna feel that."
Best. Quote. Ever.

That is VERY encouraging to see. It would really be nice to see Ryan Williams get an opportunity to shine.
but please not with the cowgirls
I want him to succeed even if he's on a team I don't like. He's a Hokie, that trumps NFL loyalties by a mile.
Too true. I was a falcons fan... then they drafted Matt Ryan.
Eff that noise.
It's been almost 7 years and I still resent him and BC for that game
I'm not because Adibi and Hall kicked the shit out of hi in the ACCCG.
Was at the Falcons Friday night lights scrimmage couple weeks ago for a friends bachelor weekend (skins fan). Waited around for autographs just to tell Matt I still hated him for that night.
This is how I'm assuming how this went.
absolutely. but still
I'll be rooting for him but not against the Giants. He can lite everyone else up but please not the Giants. This is why I quit fantasy football. Too many conflicts of interests made it hard to just enjoy watching a football game.
As a cowboys fan, this was my problem with David Wilson. ...a problem i wish i still had
a leg for you sir...it's the same exact thing for me.... I remember that draft night when the giants took him going 'NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!......then saying, 'you know what, i still have to root for him, just not when he's playin' the cowboys.'
i remember reading that he was a likely Giants pick a few weeks prior to the draft. ...i prayed that it didn't happen, broke my heart when he did. ... Then it absolutely KILLED me when they pickled up Hosley too
1st, welcome back hokietopher. 2nd it's how I felt when the bears took fuller. That one's going to KILL me when the pack play them twice a year...
8300....thanks for the welcome back....it's been a really tough few months for myself, my wife, and my daughter, we're doing the best that we can...and it's truly amazing that you 'picked me out' just like that to welcome me back....my family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts for thinking of us......as far as fuller, i can't feel bad about that one, cause my wife is a bears fan......BTW - i will be starting a thread about the miami game, cause we went ahead & got tickets to come down from NJ for it...and we'd really like to connect with some friendly people to tailgate with, and help....i don't know....make our day easier?, so to speak (even if we've never met them before other than here)..anyway...thanks again....& i hope to be more involved here again as things progress.....
Absolutely.
Welcome back.
I tailgate with a great group in lot 18.
Out by the duck pond.
I am sure you will get lots of invites let us know where you get parking.
How could somebody downvote this?
Pretty much every thread now has one or more seemingly random and totally out-of-place/incorrect downvote. Most are likely unintentional, i.e. when using mobile devices (happened to me a few days ago and I was totally unaware, and fortunately I was able to fix it). Sometimes there's a troll hanging out just messing around, but usually that sort of thing sorts itself out, because Joe sees all:
I always upvote any downvote that is not warranted and things end up working out.
Nice to see RW trucking defenders again. Seeing him brings back all those great runs he had at VT, especially that superman dive for a TD against Bama.
Turkey leg for that memory?
I'm Ron Burgundy?
Woah, looks like he cut his dreads. I can't believe I hadn't noticed that yet. He can be a starting back in the NFL I have no doubts about that whatsoever.
I'm friends with a few diehard Cowboys fans. They all seem to think that Joseph Randle will be cut and Ryan Williams will be the 3rd running back. Considering Murray is guaranteed to get hurt like he is every year Ryan will get his shot at some point.
Did Williams get injured after the two minute warning tonight?
I just read that it was cramps.
I hope he finds a place. Them man deserves it.
I just read he's not playing tonight due to injury? W...T...F!?
Color me surprised
