That large man above is Kevin Williams, one half of the famed Minnesota Williams wall. The shoe finally dropped on him Tuesday, when the NFL announced four game suspensions for him, teammate Pat Williams, along with Saints Deuce McAllister, Charles Grant, Will Smith, and a very remorseful long snapper in Houston.

Pat Williams' agent said he would file a motion in federal court Wednesday . If successful, that could delay a suspension. We should know the result of that Wednesday, but it seems like a long shot. We expected Deuce's absence and his role was waning anyhow. The big impact will be the gaping void in the middle of the Minnesota defense. The Vikings schedule the next three weeks:

Week 14: Detroit (Kevin Smith)
Week 15: Atlanta (Michael Turner)
Week 16: Arizona (Tim Hightower)

Smith and Hightower become more palatable flex options in those weeks. Turner owners fretting the matchup can breathe a sigh of relief, assuming the case doesn't get stopped in court.
