Is he playing this week?
Hopefully EJ plays with my return to Buffalo.
Thanks to Bradford being a moron Mario registers a sack. I made a point to watch him several plays. He's almost always blocked one on one. He rushes up field doesn't get anywhere near the QB and just stops. Not sure if that's by design or if he's just not giving it 100%. Either way I'd cut him in the offseason. Someone making 2 million can do what he's doing/being asked to do.

Guy is washed up. Can't wait to cut his ass. We need that money for other players.
Mr. Cynical (12-13-2015)
It's obvious, he checked out based on Ryan's scheme of making he, Hughes, Dareus and Kyle go out into coverage at times for really no reason. He's been vocal against the scheme, I'm guessing hoping to see some changes based on his and his linemates skill sets, didn't see any so he decided F this, I'm done.
At this point he's a detriment to the team as long as Ryan is here, so you just cut bait and move on. However you choose to cut bait, trade him for a mid round pick or just outright release him.

I doubt any team is going to trade for that contract. Not even for a 7th.
Why would any team trade for a guy who quits when he doesn't get his way? I agree with him that Ryans use of him is stupid but you don't quit. That makes him a thief in my book. Can't wait to see him gone.
Mr. Cynical (12-13-2015)
You cut him and deal with the cap hit
Mr. Cynical (12-13-2015)
A team that would want him and not want to get into a bidding war for his services.
Obviously they'd have to have a restructured deal in place to take him on but if the Bills outright release him some team will still pay him 8-10 per because he can get after the QB. This season won't be looked at him having diminished skills, it will be looked at him being utilized incorrectly.
And, he was utilized incorrectly. Rex Ryan has skills and completely neutralized his best pass rusher.

Yep I agree with Mr. Pink the NFL is all about schemes and scheme fit a 4-3 defense team will give Williams a chance
Mario had a huge sack today.
Then Tyrod blew it.
Agreed. But to be honest I saw this pattern even last year. He's never been a full motor guy. He always takes plays off, and seems to get his numbers when he needs his numbers. But after signing a $100M contract, I think his tendency to slack got a major case of Haynesworth-itis. I agree - cut him/trade him - whatever - but get rid of his baggage. It's not like he's irreplaceable at likely 1/3 the cost.

Mario has feasted on poor/mediocre RTs, if you look at his productivity per rush, not good.

BREAKING: Unhappy Mario Williams could be finished in Buffalo
Whatever you think about Williams, no one can disagree the Bills coaches (read Rex Ryan) did his level best to make Williams look invisible this year.

3 years... a handful of games last year that were decent.
outside of that... exactly what I've said all along
