This is a step in the right direction...the Vikings hired George Stewart who coached Terrel Owens and Tim Brown. He's replacing Wyatt who had no NFL coaching experience (although he was a receivers coach for Oklahoma). Maybe, just maybe, he can help Williamson improve as a receiver. Last year Williamson showed flashes of what he could do if he could catch the ball (that is a big if).

That makes you stop and think a little doesn't it . Seriously, it seems like it has been more than just Williamson. There are several receivers over the past few years in MN that (IMO) have showed flashes and didn't ever make that final jump up a level. I thought Burleson would develop a little more than he did, but of course, it always hard to tell what is going to change when a receiver goes from #3 up to #1 or #2. I have a lot of respect for Stewart, but if there was a knock on Owens, or on the Falcons receiving core, it was inability to catch the easy ones. Still, I believe Stewart was on the "B" list of potential head coach candidates.
Good for the rest of the Vikings WRs IMO. They really haven't had a legit #1 starter since Moss went to Oakland. They had to juggle with players like Marcus Robinson, Koren Robinson, and Travis Taylor.
I rember seeing Troy Williamson against the panthers. He had one of the best games for a WR against the panthers. Williamson has so much potential, him and the reciever coach need to practice focusing on the ball. I like what I heard during the Saints game where the WR coach made Colston catch a ball with #s on it, and where ever his top finger was he had 2 say the number.
