Inbox: Evan Williams has made some of the biggest plays this season
The Packers’ defense sees the vision and it’s executing
- Wentz threw a ball directly to Evan Williams in the end zone in Week 1 and it was wiped off by one of many dumb GB penalties ... the very least Kyler is doing is few turnover-worthy plays
- Panthers had second and 2 from the 50 and Packers come up with three straight stops. Ty'Ron Hopper chasing down Bryce Young. Xavier McKinney punching out a ball to force incompletion. Chris McClellan and Evan Williams with a fourth-down run stuff.
- If Trey Smack could kick. If Evan Williams doesn’t drop an INT. If Josh Jacobs doesn’t drop a touchdown in the end zone, are we even talking about the refs after Packers vs. Lions?

Packers DC Jonathan Gannon on Evan Williams:
"First thing of a safety, be reliable. He's reliable. His skill set allows him to make a lot of different plays and a lot of different calls. He's physical. He's extremely intelligent. And he puts time on task. ..."

Great play by Williams, and an assist to Jonathan Gannon.
Williams was walked up like he was going to blitz. Gannon has sent so much pressure, Prescott probably thought Williams was coming, so he never saw him as he cut under the route for the INT.
Good defense. · Quoting Jacob Westendorf: Zaire Franklin just decked Dak Prescott who was slow to get up.
Prescott throws an interception on the next play to Evan Williams.

- Oct 18 Ryan Wood (X) Evan Williams joins #Packers season captains at midfield for coin toss. Kenny Clark among the Cowboys captains. Cowboys call tails, and it never fails. They'll take the ball. Which is probably what Matt LaFleur preferred anyway.

- Evan Williams ahead of Packers-Bears: "It's easy to have a camera in front of you and say whatever you want.

It's not going to save you."
- Packers DC Jonathan Gannon on Evan Williams blitz calls in fourth: "I think that was just how the game went and deployed. We saw some things, made a few adjustments there at halftime. I'll be honest, that was not even up. We ended up getting to it. That's a staple that we have."

- Oct 4 Ryan Wood (X) The #Packers likely lost Edgerrin Cooper for the season. But Evan Williams' emergence as a star might be enough to rescue them. Three straight safety blitzes. His first career sack. An INT. And maybe the answer their biggest problem for the rest of 2026.
- Oct 4 Packers Team Site Game notes: Evan Williams' big day helps Packers overcome loss of Edgerrin Cooper
- Oct 4 Ryan Wood (X) Evan Williams said he tossed away his INT ball thinking he wasn't inbounds. He realized 15 seconds later watching the replay his knee was in. Still didn't get that ball back, though. "They might get a replica or steal one off their sideline."
- Oct 4 Ryan Wood (X) Evan Williams on losing Edgerrin Cooper: “It definitely dumbs it down a little bit, the thrill of a win. Just because I feel like you guys all know what he means to this team, what he means to this defense. He’s somebody that sets a tone in every game.”
- Oct 4 Ryan Wood (X) Evan Williams was well aware it was his first career sack that sealed this win. “To understand that type of coach has that type of trust in you in the big surgeons when you have to make a play, and you’re the number he calls, it means everything.”+1

Jonathan Gannon goes to a three-edge front with Lukas Van Ness, Brenton Cox Jr. and Dani-Dennis Sutton for that third-and-11. Created a lot of confusion up front. Then Evan Williams bursts through unblocked for the pressure.
Some really good scheme there.

- Sep 24 Matt Schneidman (X) Interesting pressure look on that third and long. Seven guys crowding the line, two drop and Evan Williams, who wasn't one of the seven, comes scot free. Penix throws incomplete and the Falcons punt.
