I thought it was apropros.
Pat Williams was asked if he had an explanation for Buffalo's decision to allow him to hit the free-agent market after last season.
"They are dumb," he said. "That's all I can say. They are dumb as can be up there."
Williams' comment was passed along to Matt Birk, the injured Vikings center, as he walked through the Metrodome's home locker room after Sunday's 24-12 victory over Cleveland.
"He's right," Birk said. "Letting Pat Williams go ... that's a dumb decision.
"When I was asked last spring which of the defensive players brought in would have the most impact, I said, 'Pat Williams.' I said that without hesitation.
"Basically, you can't run the ball when he's in there. It takes two guys to block him and, often, that's not enough. Pat Williams is a man."
