Mario Williams Has 3 Tackles and 1 Sack After 3 Games
Goose eggs in Week 1 and Week 3.
http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/gamelo...mario-williams
After 3 games in 2014, Mario Williams had 2 sacks and 7 tackles with 1 assist, but he wasn't playing linebacker, he was playing as a defensive end, which is where he belongs imho.

Haven't heard his name called much at all so far this year.
Where's Mario?

He has put a lot of pressure on QB's and done a superb job of setting the edge against the run, sometimes stats don't tell the whole story. Watch the film.

He's great at setting the edge against the run, forcing running backs to run in to the arms of Dareus and Kyle Williams, but I think he's a better pass rusher for a $19.4 million cap hit.
He was great at stopping the Patriots 15 rushing attempts.

One things about these three games is that no one has had an amazing game, yet they've won handily twice and redound their footing in a game they got thrashed in.
Im cool with getting a team playing as a team than having a few players be gods amongst men.

i guess coastal was right all along
Re: Mario Williams Has 3 Tackles and 1 Sack After 3 Games
It was said when we signed him
He would never be able to live up
To that contract and people still complain.
He single handedly has won us games in the past three years and people still complaining.
Honestly people just let it go already the whole world knows we over paid for him because we had to in order to get him to sign.

Re: Mario Williams Has 3 Tackles and 1 Sack After 3 Games
We're not getting sacks because our opponents have been getting rid of the ball as quickly as possible.
Re: Mario Williams Has 3 Tackles and 1 Sack After 3 Games
I just wish he would have sacked Brady once.

One thing I noticed against the Fins was rampant holding not getting called. It was horrible. The Fins OL was taking guys down to the ground.
Not an excuse but still.
I think they should be blitzing more.
Re: Mario Williams Has 3 Tackles and 1 Sack After 3 Games
Every opponent is going to be spending a TON of time focusing on getting the ball out fast against us. Also, in the first game at minimum (I haven't really taken any time to look at the 2nd and 3rd games) i believe the game-plan was to have Mario and Hughes hold the edge while applying pressure up the middle with blitzes. Luck got it out quick, but it is inarguable that the plan worked. When you ask those guys to hold the edge and not allow the QB out of the pocket, it is a thankless task for stats, but if that pressure up the middle comes, it is a great scheme.
In NE, i think we just dropped into coverage too often and focused on getting a rush with the front four only. Against Brady, that has worked in the past, but you can't expect to get too many sacks on that guy if he's focused on the fact that you're coming after him all week.
In the end, the sack is a grossly over-rated statistic. Our rush has caused more than enough bad throws and strips so far and i'll take a fumble or INT over a sack 10 times out of 10.

Here's what's going on... For those who want to foolishly question the play of Mario Williams.

Through 3 games the Bills total have 6 sacks, 4 from DL. 1 from LB, 1 from DB. Through three games last year, the Bills had 8 sacks, 6 from DL, 2 from LB.
And we blitz like crazy.

I think teams are focusing more on getting the ball out quick against us. Teams weren't as worried about getting the ball off with only four rushers, but now we blitz enough that they know they have to get it off. I think we'll start to see it working more in our favor once we stop playing above average QB's (Tanehill isnt that good, but I would consider him very slightly above average).

Besides, sacks are overrated! It's the pressure you bring that causes bad throws and turnovers. As long as you keep the other team from scoring TD's and you win, then will be very successful.
