Mario Williams - Page 4 - New England Patriots Forums

To put it in perspective Williams and Anderson make 23M/year as a duo. Brady will average out to 18M/year.

Brady 22/36, 340 yards, 3 TD 0 INT
Williams + Anderson 3 tackles 0 Sacks

Vollmer owned Williams. He looked like he was back to his All Pro Team form.

Haynesworth was just a bust. Williams might turn out to be more like Peppers, who was quiet for half a season in Chicago.

The Bills real problem is the DC, whose philosophy is outdated.

Nice game, btw.

Mario Williams feels pain of wrist, slow start

I think it's pretty sad that he's blaming his wrist for the slow start. It may be impacting it, but you'd never hear a Patriot make excuses like that.

The article also has some observations from one of the reporters of the Bills flagship network, who re-watched the All-22 and found the following:

Quote:

Using the All-22 coach’s film package that is available through NFL.com, Buscaglia broke down every snap and his breakdown of Williams’ performance was glaringly revealing.

The film showed that Williams was all-out double-teamed on just one of the 69 snaps he played. There were three other plays where he was “chipped,” meaning a running back or tight end got a piece of him while he was engaged with a lineman.

As the Patriots were rushing for 247 yards, they ran toward Williams’ side on 11 plays, and averaged seven yards per attempt. He was never double-teamed on any of the runs, regardless of which side they were aimed toward, and on eight of the 34 running plays he was on the field for, he was single-blocked by one of New England’s tight ends.

So no on the triple-team. And no on the consistent double-team either, at least against the Pats. Maybe on the wrist injury, though he probably injured himself hauling the huge piles of money away from the scene as quickly as possible.

Hi, everyone. Texans fan on here for the big game Monday night and figured my first post might as well be about our Mario Williams.

Mario isn't an effort guy with a high motor. He plays when he wants to, it seems like. He was always nicked up or injured for the Texans and just never was a consistently dominant player, despite the outrageous potential.
It's true he must be accounted for, but not necessarily doubled up. Bull rushing is abot his only move, and a good OT can simply push him out past the QB, where the QB has plenty of pocket to step up into.

It's rather shameful for a DL toblame a sore wrist for poor play. Anything above the waist just doesn't really count, IMO.

Anywho, Have fun facing him twice a year. NE should be just fine.

This attitude of Mario's goes back to his NC State days. I think it goes to show for prospect evaluation that often times, "you are who you are."
