Rexy whacks Williams (Mario)
The Goodwill Ambassador speaks again:
...""Now look, with some of the comments [he made], do I wish him well? Not really," Ryan said. "But, he's on Miami. If he would have gone somewhere else, maybe. He's a good kid, but I am used to some mean mother*******ers that play out there. The Terrell Suggs, Jarrett Johnsons of the world. I screwed them, too; I had them drop [into coverage], too. Not one of them *****ed."...

The problem I have is that those people Rex is comparing Mario to (Suggs, Miller) are Linebackers and Mario is a Defensive End. I don't recall seeing Bruce Smith drop in coverage.
The number one job of a defense is to put pressure on the QB. Why the **** would you have one of the best pass rushers in franchise history dropping back in coverage?

Shut up Rex

It's a fair statement though. Throughout Rex's career in Baltimore and the Jets, his defense has always been very competitive and always had some Dlinemen drop into coverage occasionally, yet he still produced. So if Mario couldn't learn that system, whose fault is that?

So you can rush with your DBs, if you happen to think like Rex.Originally Posted by TacklingDummy
Eh - in 15 games, Williams put up 15 tackles and 4 assists, 5 of those tackles being sacks. He was playing touch football all season...

Suggs is bigger than Mario. They're only LBs or DEs because the scheme ran. Mario was a OLB in Houston for a season or two, I think.
Maybe if 6'3" 260 is bigger than 6'6" 292. Dropping Mario in coverage is dumb. It fools no one and Mario can't cover anyone.
Oh, those pesky details...
regardless if it works or not, if a player has not bought in and it leaves you high and dry, you should maybe work with that person to get it right. it was obvious after a few weeks that Mario didn't car.rex had a free pass last year, but he is now under the gun. work with what you got.

Of course you can rush the passer with your DBs. They call it a blitz.
I've seen it many, many times. It's actually quite common.
I'm a fan of DB blitzes.
Mario "Fool's Gold" Williams is a fraud?
that would have been useful information a few years ago.
It doesn't surprise me that you still don't understand what we're talking about.
Says the mouth breather that never got it.
heres a hint... there's a reason he was cut!
he didn't produce.
Blame Rexy all u want but he gave u a glimpse into who Mario isn't... "mean mother ****ers".... that's not Mario.
i knew it years ago... hell... Houston fans knew it years ago.
Mario was an OLB in Houston in his last year there. He only played in 5 games before he got hurt and placed on IR. But he managed to get 5 sacks in those 5 games at OLB...5 sacks, the same amount of sacks he got in 16 games last year for the Bills. Not like Rex didn't line him up at OLB last year on however many snaps, either. Not like he didn't line up in that spot in many a different year.
This thing has turned into a farce. If people want to criticize Rex, there are plenty of legitimate reasons to do so...this isn't one of them. I think I read somewhere that Mario actually dropped into coverage something like a little less than twice a game on average.
Here is why people SHOULD BE PISSED:
Center Eric Wood called Williams’ comments “disappointing,” adding that “Everybody has to buy in or else we don’t have a shot.”
He isn’t alone. One other teammate, who wished to remain anonymous, ramped it up a notch in saying Williams checked out a long time ago, back to not wanting to take part in the conditioning test before training camp.
“It’s been clear to me that Mario doesn’t care about anybody but himself,” the teammate said. “He followed that up by not giving any effort during the season and complaining about the scheme instead of manning up and saying he played like crap and doesn’t care."
Has Williams checked out? “Totally checked out.”
A player bringing an uninterested attitude to the office each day — whether it’s real or perceived —set a “terrible precedent” inside the Bills locker room, the teammate added.
...After all, Williams is making $11 million more than any other player on the team this season...
“Those guys have to be your team leaders and bell cows,” the player said. “To not give a crap like that shows why teams need to think twice before investing that much in one guy. We could easily have five solid players contributing than one guy who doesn’t give a (expletive).”
...
Does Mario like playing in Buffalo? “Yeah, clearly. I don’t think the last three years lie if you want to talk individual.”
Those numbers over three seasons could speak for themselves. “But,” Williams cuts in, “apparently it doesn’t speak enough.”
One Bills teammate loathes such (Mario Williams) rhetoric, calling it a "cop out" and said to watch the film. To him, Williams is getting plenty of one-on-one opportunities... he's simply doing nothing with them.
“Zero effort,” the player said after one recent game. “The tape speaks for itself. … He takes two steps and stops.”
The player added that others feel the same way and grew “beyond furious.” Still, he couldn’t recall anybody voicing concerns to Williams because nobody believed it’d do any good. He described it as a lost cause, adding that longtime Bill Kyle Williams is the only player who could’ve spoken up to Mario Williams.

Like I said, it's not surprising that you're having a hard time comprehending this.
27.5 sacks the 2 previous years under 2 different coaches vs. 5 for Rexy.
Only a true genius can bring out the worst in his players.

The problem with Mario not buying in and refusing to drop back into coverage is that forced Ryan to put the onus for that on Dareus. LOL
Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.
And I'm sure it makes perfect sense to you to pass rush with your coverage guys while your pass rushers are in coverage.
Suppose it has anything to do with their historic lack of sacks ?
