RB Miyan “Chop” Williams (Official Thread)

[BB73]

Not sure how many touches Barn Childress got in his 4 year spring game career but he'd be the only contender to the crown I can think of.

He actually had a solid average of 6.0 yards per carry over his 4-year career. On a single carry (The Game, 2003).



He also had 33 receptions for 392 yards, 7 kickoff returns for 107 yards, and a 2-yard punt return. He didn’t get into the end zone.

Bingo. That was the first name I could think of.

Taurian Washington its up there as well. Along with Lamar Thomas and (shudders*) Jamario O'Neal.

Ohio State RB Miyan Williams doesn't want to be called 'meatball'

Ohio State running back Miyan Williams has worked through fall camp to make sure he’s not forgotten in Buckeyes loaded running back rotation. What he does want forgotten, is his nickname.

Williams has been affectionally referred to as ‘Meatball’ by his Ohio State teammates and coaches. He doesn’t want the nickname to stick, as he told Lettermen Row on Wednesday.

“To be honest I don’t,” Williams responded when asked if he likes the ‘Meatball’ identity. “I don’t like the name. I’d rather be called ‘Chop’. Because Baron Browning gave me the nickname, started calling me ‘Pork Chop’ so I just kind of stuck with it.”

‘Chop’ is entering his second season with the Buckeyes. As a freshman, Williams saw just ten touches and had 64 total yards.

At 5-foot-8, 225 pounds, Miyan Williams is built in the mold of a downhill back. But, in the limited touches he received as a freshman, he surprised in the showing off some speed, and even a “little bit of wiggle”.

Really disappointed he's not ok with meatball. However, if I can call him pork chop, that's an acceptable alternative.

I'm all in on The Bowling Ball: 5'8" and 225 pounds with thighs like tree trunks. He's a fucking bowling ball picking up steam as he heads down to the knock the pins down.

Nice stiff arm on that 71 yard run, I didn't know he had that much speed. Longest play of the game too.
Williams had a much better average yards per carry than Ibrahim, i.e. 13.9 to 5.4.

Feed this man

that is all

Perfect compliment to the quick-strike WRs and Henderson. He's not just powerful, but has quick feet, vision, and fights like hell for extra yards. All that and he has good speed. Not sure who I'd compare him to. He's a bit like Hyde, but shiftier. Doesn't have the jump cut or same speed as Dobbins but there's elements of his game in there too.

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

I have been reluctant to get on the hype train based on such a limited body of work from 2020, but I was impressed with him last night. I love how hard he runs and his work ethic. He's earning that hype now. Great game.

 

[ScriptOhio]

YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY. I verily enjoyed watching the running back who was once went by the nickname "Fat Man" outrun an entire defense for 71 yards as he strolled untouched into the end zone.

Turns out, the entire play was just a happy accident, and now I enjoy it even more.



With that in mind, let's roll the tape.

The ultimate "misdirection play". New nickname: Miyan "Wrong Way" Williams....

At this point, the RB rotation needs to be a 1-2 punch of Williams and Henderson. Teague wasn't bad, but he should be the 3rd option, IMO. Which is what many of us predicted in the off season. Williams is a beast. I can see the Hyde comparison, but not sure who else to compare him too in the OSU past. If I had to compare him to anyone else not OSU, it would be Lendale White or Marion Barber III

He reminds me a little of college Jerome Bettis to be honest. I don't think there is any good OSU comp. Maybe a little Scottie Graham from the late 80's?

 

[NJ-Buckeye]

I saw where he said he actually ran the wrong way on the TD run
If you look at the play, the entire OL blocking is to the left.. and Chop cuts to the right

To me, I think Miyan's his own cat stylistically. And I love the way he totes the rock

Also, nothing against Ibrahim because he played excellent against us. But in that same vein, I don't think Miyan got anywhere near enough love during that broadcast and in the news this morning as he should have. 125 yards on 9 carries. 13.4 yards per carry (almost 2.5x more yards per carry than Ibrahim). Dude was a monster for us last night and started that game out for us right

Put it in the playbook.
