“You sometimes say, This guy is a threat to score every time he touches the
football. Aaron Hernandez Youth Jersey . Im not sure
its ever been truer in the CFL than it is of Chris Williams.” That was Duane
Fordes call as Williams broke a 70-yard punt return for a touchdown, giving the
Hamilton Tiger-Cats a 10-1 lead at the time. Williams touchdown his fifth
return TD of the year was lost in the Alouettes eventual win on Thursday, but
it tied the all-time single season record for return TDs set over 20 years ago
by Gizmo Williams, and were only eight games in. Williams also vaulted past
legend Earl The Pearl Winfield in Ticats record books and, combined with his
five receiving touchdowns so far this season, is on pace to challenge Milt
Stegalls single-season touchdown record of 23. And if not for his showboating
mistake against the Alouettes earlier this season, Stegalls record would really
be in jeopardy. Those stats are enough to make you wonder – as Duane Forde
suggested – is Williams the greatest scoring threat of all-time in the CFL? As
mentioned earlier, the New Mexico State product is a threat to score as both a
return man and receiver. He has twice been named the Special Teams Player of the
Week, as well as picking up the July Special Teams Player of the Month, and was
last years Most Outstanding Rookie. Williams isnt just a big play receiver
either - QB Henry Burris targets him often; the diminutive receiver leading the
team in both receptions (41) and yards (652) this season. Its an incredible
start, but Williams is just 23 games into what Ticats fans surely hope is a long
CFL career. Its yet to be seen if the 24-year-old will have the longevity to see
his career scoring numbers equal those of Stegall, George Reed, or Mike Pringle.
But watching the sophomore receiver, its hard not conjuring up images of the
great scoring threats throughout the years; guys like Gizmo, Pinball Clemons,
and even Allen Pitts. The Rouge asks: Where does Chris Williams rank among
all-time scoring threats in the CFL? Stevan Ridley Womens Jersey . —When the

CLARA, Calif. —Marvin Chavez scored against his former team and Alan Gordon
added his eighth goal of the season to lead the San Jose Earthquakes to a 2-1
victory over FC Dallas on Wednesday. San Jose had to withstand an 89th-minute
goal from Hernan Pertuz and a missed penalty kick in the 94th minute by Jair
Benitez. The Earthquakes (13-4-4) widened their lead in the Supporters Shield
race to seven points clear of Real Salt Lake and Sporting Kansas City. San Jose
is unbeaten at home in Buck Shaw Stadium since Aug. 13, an 8-0-3 run. FC Dallas
(4-10-7) ended a 13-match winless streak Saturday, but couldnt continue its
momentum, despite the debut of newly acquired designated player Julian de
Guzman, traded last week by Toronto FC. Chavez, who was dealt to San Jose from
Dallas in the off-season for allocation money, struck from the edge of the
penalty box in the 12th minute, ripping a well-placed shot to the far post off a
skidding cross by Shea Salinas. Gordon doubled San Joses advantage with a
headerr in the 45th minute, also beating Dallas goalkeeper Kevin Hartman to the
back post. Stevan Ridley Youth Jersey. Benitez started
the play with a poor pass that led to a turnover deep in Dallas third of the
field. San Jose made three passes through the midfield before the ball reached
Sam Cronin, whose looping pass from 35 yards found the loosely marked Gordon.
Chris Wondolowski, MLS leading scorer, appeared to strike for his 18th goal of
the season on a 61st-minute penalty brought about by Brek Sheas clear hand ball
in Dallas box. But San Jose was called for encroachment on Wondolowskis
successful first attempt, and Hartman dove to his left to save the redo. Pertuz
got Dallas within a goal on a flying header, but Benitez gave away a chance to
steal a road point after Zach Loyd was bundled over by San Jose midfielder Simon
Dawkins in second-half injury time. With Brek Shea, Dallas usual penalty-kick
taker, having been subbed off, Benitez stepped up to the spot and flashed his
attempt just above the crossbar. ’ ’ ’
