Manther Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Locker room cancer was removed I guess Nope...Marrone is still here!! This whole situation with Williams has been weird this year. Having a known red zone threat inactive when the team is last in red zone TD's. Then giving his spot to a special teams coverage player when the team has an extra kick on the roster to kick balls out of the end zone. Agreed....bizarre events. Got a feeling Mike Williams isn't aware of the 'injury' either... That's funny
YoloinOhio Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) Really we've seen it reported like 3 different ways by semi credible sources since lunch time today, haven't we? not really. It was reported this way initially when the trade occurred. Rodak's from April kept getting referenced but he just seemed to leave that part out, likely unintentionally. Articles since then that didn't mention the exact terms seemed to simply lack research of the contract itself. After the Houston game, MW went public with his criticisms of Hackett's offense, saying stuff like they didn't prepare for anything Houston showed them, they were too late to adjust, etc. That drew the ire of the coaching staff to be sure. He played vs. Detroit, IIRC, but a week later he was scratched vs. the Pats and then went public with his trade demands after the game. Gotta think that pretty much sealed his fate with this staff. I wonder how those two incidents would sit with any coaching staff. GO BILLS!!! jason avant was cut from the Panthers for making comments like that. If you are a replaceable, fringe player - best to keep your mouth shut. Edited December 10, 2014 by YoloinOhio

You !@#$ing verify it before you report it. That tweet may have pissed me off more than any of the Bills-bashing tripe he normally defaults to.

But didn't you also say that Marrone doesn't hold grudges?

That tweet may have pissed me off more than any of the Bills-bashing tripe he normally defaults to. He was relying on information in a report from his ESPN colleague John Clayton that said MW's 2015 contract was fully guaranteed.

What I find hilarious is all I do as a fan is listen to things like the John Murphy Show and click on Rotoworld and even I knew the details of the contract. Edited December 10, 2014 by YoloinOhio

FireChan Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 But didn't you also say that Marrone doesn't hold grudges? You consider that "holding a grudge?"
K-9 Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 But didn't you also say that Marrone doesn't hold grudges? You need to stop perceiving this as some sort of spat between two teenage girls. GO BILLS!!!

That tweet may have pissed me off more than any of the Bills-bashing tripe he normally defaults to. But, but, we gotta give him credit cuz he got it right. I mean, he was wrong, but he ended up right, so we have to give him credit right? Rodhack and ESPN in this entire situation is just par for the course of what has become acceptable behavior at ESPN. Generate the story from the AP and other sources which they obtain (they pay for it) and put their name at the top. Then source each other to make long drawn out stories. When the story is out there get a blowhard to talk about it. After he talks about it have the original reporter source that and get player comments on the reply and call it journalism. The pot of **** starts stirring when Rodhack's of the ESPN world stir it. What someone needs to do is just flush that little piece of poo and forget ESPN.

I do remember the trade request though.

I do remember the trade request though. I don't, unfortunately. There were threads after the Houston game citing MW's comments about Hackett and the offense. I'll see what I can dig up. GO BILLS!!!

I'll see what I can dig up. GO BILLS!!! I remember the comments after the Houston game, but really didn't pay much attention to them because I considered them post game throwaway comments. In retrospect, it seems as if that was the beginning of the end of Caveman's role in the offense.
eball Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 I'm curious, what do the "how could they not be playing Mike Williams" crowd think of the fact he went unclaimed on the waiver wire?
Kelly the Dog Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 I'm curious, what do the "how could they not be playing Mike Williams" crowd think of the fact he went unclaimed on the waiver wire? He's hurt. Hasn't played. You don't know the reasons. If you claim him you play about $400,000 without knowing anything. If you keep him for next year without seeing him in OTAs you pay 6.4m.

If you keep him for next year without seeing him in OTAs you pay 6.4m. Marrone cannot handle players with strong personalities is my guess after seeing the departure of Stevie and now Mike Williams. If you don't closely toe the company line, you'll wind up in the Doug House and can easily be jettisoned.
