But there's more to it than Williams' vote of confidence in his QB duo to throw the ball to Gonzalez. Williams describes how he remembers ordering senior wideouts Josh Sibis, Jason Lehman and Matt Bransby to step aside for backups to get into practice scrimmages. But the veterans, hungry to sharpen their timing with Smoker as the seniors realized that their dreams of glory were nearing judgement day, refused to give up the repetitions. Williams soon realized that it meant that Gonzalez wasn't getting enough reps himself to develope his game. I realized that it was the hierarchy of the players.
Reps are what count.
Now he's showing his leadership. It's a big turn around from a guy who didn't get a chance to now the player running the show. He was unstoppable in the summer passing leagues. He's going to make some people look at him this year. Gonzalez, who caught five passes for 76 yards last season, plans to be every bit as busy in one way or another as last season's seniors.
