Kyle Williams Makes Peter King's 2010 NFL All-Pro Team

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Kyle Williams had a career year in 2010, earning his first Pro Bowl invitation (albeit as an alternate) by racking up 77 tackles - 53 solo - and a career-high and team-leading 5.5 sacks. Williams was routinely lauded throughout the season for his dominant play on one of the league's worst defenses, with the folks at ProFootballFocus.com providing especially vigorous support.
Williams' latest bit of lauding comes by way of Sports Illustrated's Peter King, who has named Williams to his 2010 NFL All-Pro team. Writes King of Williams: "No other nose man is the combo pile-pusher and backfield invader that Williams is."
Joining Williams on King's defensive line are Atlanta's Jonathan Babineaux (27 tackles, four sacks) inside at tackle. New England's Vince Wilfork, another AFC Pro Bowl invitee, and Chicago's Julius Peppers made the team at defensive end.
Williams is one of six AFC East players to make King's squad, joining New England's Tom Brady, Wilfork and Devin McCourty, as well as Miami's Jake Long and Cameron Wake. Happily, there are no New York Jets on the roster.

What will Bob Matthews say? He thought it was inconceivable that Williams was PFF’s Defensive Player of the Year.

Very Deserving of This Award
But to play the Devils advocate, if you put Kyle on another defensive front 7 I dont think he will be as dominant, just because he would be asked to play more of a specific role. Kyle had a great year but if he had of done what he actually was supposed to do he doesn’t put up anywhere near the numbers he did this year.
But Kyle is awesome and I hope hes a Bill for a very long time

… he did. I think you mean “if he played a traditional nose guard role,” which he did not do, and which the Bills would never ask him to do. The Bills asked him to play one-tech and three-tech, and he was dominant at it.

No other nose man is the combo pile-pusher and backfield invader that Williams is.
Backfield Invader: Yes!
Pile Pusher: Peter, are you sure about that? I don’t recall seeing Williams push a center back to the QB all year. Lack of a center pass rush hurt the Bills all year.
I understand where you’re coming from. His game isn’t really the bullrush. However, he actually does pretty well on a double team. He doesn’t push 2 guys back, but he doesn’t typically lose any ground either.

Steelers Game
Did you watch the Steelers game? Becasue I can remember Meatball pushing that guard (keomatu??) back, blowing up the pocket at least 3 times in that game.

Kemoeatu is awful, I’ll bet the Steelers wish they had Urbik back. Kemoeatu almost lost the game for the Steelers last weekend too.
Yeah but Kyle also did that to their “star” rookie centre as well.

Now are these the NFL's all-Pro team or just SI's.
And if it’s just SI’s, when do the official All-Pro’s come out? Because Williams is VERY deserving of All-Pro honors.

Just Peter Kings through SI.
