Let me get this straight. If Mario doesn't gets sacks, he sucks and isn't worth the money? Dumb

He gets his sacks but is far from a complete DE. He chronically has low total tackle numbers, padded by his sacks being part of the total number. He seldom gets assists, because IMO he wants the sack totals first and foremost. Compare last season's numbers to, say, CIN's Carlos Dunlap:
Last season, Williams garnered 42 total tackles, 36 solo tackles 14.5 sacks, and only 6 assists. Dunlap had 66 total tackles, 40 solo tackles, 8 sacks, and 26 assists - he seals the edge and goes for RB stops as well as qb hits and sacks as well as sacks.
I cite Dunlap because of where I live and what I watch. Others can find other DE comparisons.
Williams is fool's gold because he is to my mind a one-trick pony that was hired at a huge price. HOU inked him to a six year rookie contract and saw what his game was. When it expired, they declined to re-sign.
So who would you want? A player who gets his share of sacks, gets more total tackles, a player who get to the action to aid teammates...or high-price Mario?

I was banned for calling Yardie a coward, by DB, in a tread about women’s issues happening right now in America. Nothing better than republican men silencing women’s voices, especially in the Buffalo Spin zone!!

So I just had to look up Mario's stats from yesterdays BIG WIN .. I thought he would have put up some numbers ... I guess maybe my expectations were wrong. What a shame .. hehehehehehe
At this torrid pace he will have 16 tackles and 5 or 6 sacks on the year.
Maybe it's time to fake another emergency wrist surgery.

I can do what he does.. And I would even get a little more physical as I would slap an ass here and there
I think Mario is just playing to collect a check, thus proves coastal is right, and anyone who thinks he is worth the money the Bills paid him is a FOOL
For someone who doesn't watch games you sure seem to have a handle on the value of a defensive end.
I would bet if you went on a Fins message board right about now and posted 'Ndamokung Suh is Fool's Gold' you'd get a lot more favorable responses.

I thought Mario did better in a 4-3 scheme statistically than in 3-4 where everyone else gets to blitz. The same can be said about Dareus , Kyle and Hughes .
I don't expect their sacks to surpass last years sacks . I do however people from the backfield to increase their sack nos.
maybe we lose the sack count some, but we gain in having a stout running defense.
the fact that coastal wrote this two/three years ago and he can only sling some mud here and there shows how wrong he's been. people give op a hard time for defendings his position. but at no time has he ever said anything this obtuse and continued to support it like a knowledgable fan.

Number 1 run def doesn't exists with any weak links in the DL. I never really got into reading this thread, but it's comical how people get so into individual stats. It's like saying a shut down corner sucks cause he had 1 interception any given year, but in reality he was only thrown at 5 times.
Dumb thread.
The only thing this thread is about is this thread. At this point, it's more of a social experiment than anything else.
