Mario Williams is "Fools Gold"

[better days]

From what I see... and remember I am just a girl.

Well, when it comes to football, I think girls are GREAT for leading cheers, keeping the snacks from running out & the drinks refreshed.

[Blondie]

You don't know what the hell you're talking about, and it has nothing to do with you being a girl.

The defense is leaps and bounds better this year, and Mario is one of the reasons why. Sacks will come.

I hope you are right.. I hope sacks WILL come.

Considering y'all are 3 games in and he hasnt done anything major yet that just says a lot.

Players get paid big bucks because they make big plays. He hasn't made one.

But like you say the D is looking good and sacks WILL come.

Good for you.

1.5 sacks today. Pay attention.

[chernobylwraiths]

And compairing him to Bruce Smith is assinine. The only similarities between he and Bruce are that they both play defensive end (though opposite sides) and they both were the number one pick in the draft. Bruce is considered by many to be one of the greatest defensive ends of all time, so let's give that a rest.

He gets paid what he gets paid, using that as a scale to how good he should be is stupid.

He has looked better each week.

[Night Train]

I thought he had a very good game yesterday and showed lots of pressure that caused others to make plays last week. The only flat performance was the opener.

The line is getting better each week as a unit.

From what I see... and remember I am just a girl..

I see a guy who is out there playing it safe.

He has a paycheck to protect.

He had a good game today but we will really see his worth against the 49ers and the Pats.

Mario doesn't need to protect his contract. He's already stinking rich, and his current contract includes $50 million of guaranteed money...$50 million.

Anybody that has a problem with Mario being on this team is just being dumb. Who cares how much he makes? It's not your money, and it would likely have gone unspent had we not given it to him. The guy probably needs to shake some rust off after being out for almost a whole year, as well as adjusting to a new team...kinda like Peyton Manning.

1.5 sacks today. Pay attention.

I do pay attention ..

He had 1.5 sacks in ONE game his other 2 games He had ZERO sacks.

ZERO .. let me repeat that ONE more time ZERO sacks.

And they were against the JETS, the CHIEFS and the BROWNS .. your 3 easiest games so far. I can ONLY imagine what he is gonna do against the PATS and the 49ers!

I hope for your sake the PATS suck it again next week!

Wouldn't want pretty boy Mario to actually have to get down and play hard and maybe get dirty! LOL ..

Yeah because guys like him are always smart about their money. LOL ..

He has a paycheck to protect.. if he gets seriously injured and is out another year his career is over.

It's been 3 games...let me repeat that, 3 games. Calm down, Coastal.

[Blondie]

It's been 3 games...let me repeat that, 3 games. Calm down, Coastal.

Did you hear the interview last night with Joe Flacco?? Where he stated he was better than Tom Brady .. everyone laughed even Coastal did and thought that was pretty cocky of him.

I said GOOD for him to have that attitude! I bet he beats Brady tonight .. 3rd quarter rolls around and the PATS were up by I think 2 touch downs .. coastal turns off the game and says see ... GUESS what?? While I was on my way dropping the kids off at school he calls and says: " you were right I was wrong" .. I said about what?? He said the Ravens won and Flacco had a better game than Brady!

I knew the guy would do it .. you can see it in how they play and how they take charge and how they lead the team.

Mario ain't doing that. Sure it has ONLY been 3 games, but they were against 3 teams you all knew you would win. They were the "easy" games. If this is how he is playing against the "easy" teams how do you think he will play against the real teams..

Y'all should have beat the JETS.. **** Miami's rookie QB almost beat the JETS yesterday .. their damn kicker missed the field goal in OT!

If they hadn't paid him as much as they did .. this wouldn't even be a discussion.

You are suppose to get what ya pay for. they paid top dollar for the best and their best has 1.5 sacks ..

He is no different than Peyton Manning .. Broncos paid BIG bucks for him and look at him play .. PATHETIC... (which I am REALLY happy about!)

I think you & Coastal need to pay attention to the fact that sacks aren't everything. How he helps his teammates gets sacks is a big deal too. How he helps collapse the pocket...how he stops the run...how he hurries the QB into throwing before he wants to...those are all intangibles that don't show up on a stat sheet directly toward him. But they are showing up as a stat on the unit as a whole. And the unit, as a whole, is working, which is more important than individual stats!!!

[Blondie]

Ok.. I went and looked up his stats.. he is on his projected target. He is projected to have 37 tackles this year.. so that is 2.3 per game... and thats where he is at after game 3.

So as long as he continues then he is worth the money.

So I will go a little easier.. ok. :-)

So Flacco thinks he's better than Brady, does that mean he ACTUALLY is? Nope, you're (I mean Coastal) still wrong.

It's Mario's fault we lost to the Jets?

You should stop looking at only the sack stat and WATCH how the rest of our D-Line has improved because of the addition of Mario. I'd tell you to ask your 'husband' about it, but I don't think he gets it either.

Did you read my last post??

I said I would go easy on the guy if he continues what he is doing??

and people give me **** for not reading ...

[djjimkelly]

hes drawing doubles has 1.5 sacks and others are stepping up like kyle williams and dareus in fact everyone has looked good since the jets game

they are all a byproduct of each other and we actually get pressure now unlike other years

the mario signing is a win for the bills!!!

[YardRat]

The defense is going to get 40-50 sacks, which is a vast improvement over last season. The run defense is also better, although not yet what one could call dominant. The stats will come, as long as everybody stays relatively healthy. Also, they might read a little bit differently if Wannstadt would mix things up a little bit more, and send more guys on occasion. I don't care how good a team's front four is on their own, unless they are going against really ****ty olines the 4 on 5 wins aren't going to come as regularly as some would expect. You've got to send different guys, at different times, and keep the offensive line, backs, and especially the QB guessing. At least we've seen some line stunts the last couple of games, which was literally non-existent against the Jets. I'm not worried about Mario's individual stats nearly as much as I am the performance and results of the entire unit.

I assumed that was sarcasm, as you ripped him for not being good, then looked up his projected stats and decided that he was projected to not be good.

With the day I am having I can see if you felt some sarcasm in my post .. LOL

However I was being serious.

His first two games were not good. That is unarguable. However, when I looked at his projected stats and did the math he is right on target. So I said I would go easy. It is kind of hard to argue when you break down the stats and go by them.

I still think he looks like a player who is playing it safe and wanting to protect his paycheck.

He was injured in 2010 and was out for the rest of the year. He was injured again in 2011 and out for the rest of the year .. I am sure he does not want an injury cuz if he goes out again on injury his career will be done. And maybe that is why I see someone who is playing it safe out there.

I'm curious about the 'protecting his paycheck' argument.

I understand that some people don't know how to manage their finances, however if he's trying to protect his paycheck then he understands that his money won't come forever. I also thought that there was an 'easy' out for the Bills after 2 or 3 years without costing them a ton of cap space. Does anyone know about that?

If that is true, then he needs to play WELL in order to protect his paycheck, instead of playing safe.

[Blondie]

What does this guy do... all I see is him dancing around.

For his pay his Ass should be all over Brady.
