Gavin Williams really accelerates straight ahead into the holes

I noticed on the Nebby replay how he has a really quick acceleration when he sees the open hole. After Goodson's 55 yard run, Williams just exploded up the middle for about a 10 yard gain. The next play he hit is quick again when there wasnt much there and he got 2+ yards on 1st and goal. If Goodson stays then Williams will looks like a very competent backup and runner for the future.

THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID!
 
On the merits, I would posit that Williams is actually a better fit in this system. Zone blocking schemes posit a deep handoff and one cut. It should go for a nice run or minimal gain, but rarely a loss. When you "dance", there is a high risk of the defense defeating the zone and tackling for a loss. We have seen that so many times with Goodson and Wadley. I like that Williams is getting more carries for this reason and because it let's Goodson stay fresh.
 
And to get back on track to the OP................all I can say I have no problem at all when Williams is in the game! Total confidence in him.
 
But in all seriousness, Gavin is going to great things as a Hawk.

Also, TGood's numbers have gotten better the less he makes his first juke in the backfield and just runs downhill first.
