So last year the wrist was the excuse, this year it appears it's gonna be the foot.

There's so much wrong with this post I don't even know where to begin...Originally Posted by Thunderkyss
The 90's Bills always missed camp time with stupid things.
They were really good though. He can miss time with a pouty puss for all I care if he is a regular season berserking maniac.
Would be good though if he was a regular season berserking maniac first though. Because he's sort of making a lot of money to be a regular season berserking maniac.
I defended him last year on a diff board, but I'd feel better about a 6'6" 295 lb fast guy spitting broken teeth at the doctor or trying to run with bone shards sticking out of his legs (tape me up, I'm good) if he is a regular season berserking maniac. He'd better be a regular season berserking maniac though or this will vex me.

Maybe he hurt his foot while kicking the wall and other things in anger over the expensive ring he's trying to get back.
I don't get why this makes people mention the wrist from last year in a negative light. Anybody who saw Mario play pre-surgery and post-surgery can tell you he was clearly a better player post-surgery. As far as I'm concerned, if he says his foot is bothering him the wrist injury last year gives me MORE faith in his ability to know what's going on with his body, not less.

f o o t? That's not how you spell vagina. Damn it Mario, if you want to be a leader you work and play through the pain. Then again, I'd rather have him healthy in the season opener and not be lost during camp. That being said, I don't like this at all. BTW, how's Dareus coming along?
I sort of agree with you but he's not exactly approaching the sport with the rabid desire of playing through pain and adversity. Sore tootsies are bad, sure, but play without toes and you gain my admiration. I didn't need feet back in my days of playing the sport, mostly because I didn't play the sport at any degree of competitive challenge but still, for 100 million I'd play the game on prosthetic limbs until someone knocked me over and I had to holler because I was unable to get up because someone broke my prosthetic limbs if you get what I am saying, though I am not sure I even get what I am saying.
He needs butch up or he is a sissy, there I said it. Sissy sissy sissy, Mario Williams is being a sissy.
Seriously I think I'd feel better to hear, "Mario Williams broke three limbs today, had to be dragged off kicking and screaming".......
Or..."Yeah, I'm dogging it, shut up, you'll see in the season or kick me to the curb and I'll eat my money with a spoon".

Williams shrugged off the past, saying the opening of camp serves as an opportunity for a fresh start. And he sees no reason why the Bills can't be considered contenders.
"It's just as realistic as us standing here right now," Williams said. "At the end of the day, we've just got to go out and we've got to do it. No ifs, ands or buts about it. No excuses."
The Bills came up with plenty of excuses for their woes last year. And that included Williams, who blamed his poor start to the season on a nagging left wrist injury he eventually had surgically repaired after seven games.
"We have to be able to put that behind us," he said. "It's a brand new year, and everything's up for grabs. Everything's up for the taking."

Does this sounds like a injured man ~3 days ago ?
People want to downplay a foot injury and say just play through it, it's not always that easy. None of us know if it is just soreness or an injury. Kyle Williams had bone spurs removed from his foot 5 months ago and is still not ready to go at 100%. I'm glad that this is being taken care of at the beginning of camp and not 3-4 games into the season.

Excuses don't require surgery.
Let them check the foot out first. He's in shape and has been here working, prior to camp. He's got 6 weeks to get better.
It's always something with Super Mario. How did he even hurt his foot between Friday and Sunday?
Last year, the Bills ignored his complaints about his wrist bothering him. Camp means jack **** right now. Let him do his thing now instead of during the season.

C'mon Famous... don't tell me you bought that he really had a real wrist injury.
Why did it require surgery ?
On May 13th, the last day of OTA's for the Bills, Williams was held out of part of the practice, because of soreness. WGR just played an interview from that day, where they asked him why he was held out that day. So it seems that this may have been a problem for a few weeks.
Mario never had a problem playing through injuries in Houston. If he can play, he's going to play. & he's going to do a good job to boot.
This is camp. Not even the preseason. No sense in playing through injuries & making them worse before the games even count.
What wrist surgery?

So Mario told the Bills he had a "procedure" and that's all Gailey knew? Sounds like Mario and the Bills weren't candid in their communication with each other.
Wonder why...
