26CornerBlitz Posted October 27, 2016 Author Posted October 27, 2016 From JW's AP piece: Cornerback Stephon Gilmore told the AP that Williams is experiencing numbness in one of his arms. Anthony Williams and the team would not confirm what Gilmore said.

DC Tom Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Father of Injured Bills safety Aaron Williams tells The AP family to have discussion to decide future after season. http://pro32.ap.org/article/injured-bills-safety-williams-decide-future-after-season Bad risk analysis. If it's important enough to be given that much consideration, it shouldn't be waiting ten more games.
YoloinOhio Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 I'd say Bicari Rambo as mentioned in another thread needed to be the minimum solution here. I'm sure they will look around for something if AW is out long termhow about a vet S from a team ready to sell off pieces, like Antoine Bethea from SF? Don't know contract situation.
baskingridgebillsfan Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 I have no stats to support this but it seems to me that when Aaron Williams is off the field this Defense takes a major step back. Maybe he is a much better player then given credit for or his replacements are horrible but clearly the level of play drops

Anthony Williams and the team would not confirm what Gilmore said. So he's in good football shape. Because if there's anything I learned from watching Kurt Schulz and Coy Wire, it's that safeties don't need arms.
goldenboy81 Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 This sucks and is a major blow to the defense.No fine?? R u kidding me..The season is in trouble if they dont get somebody else..Duke williams shouldn't even be on the team still, and blanton and meeks aren't much better..
Captain_Quint Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 If the season depended on Aaron Williams staying healthy than we were !@#$ed a long time ago. Very true. Blanton just isnt as good. Missed assignments and tackles left and right. I get that they tried to address it in the offseason, but no chance AW makes it through a season without a scare like this (or worse) each year. Need to draft one high this year.
4merper4mer Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Aaaaand here's why you don't count on the NFL to fix this. You fix it yourself, on the field. B-I-N-G-O Sorry Jarvis but it needs to be done. It happens in hockey all the time. It happens in baseball too. It doesn't seem to happen in football often but it needs to happen this time.

It doesn't seem to happen in football often but it needs to happen this time. I still cant understand, with the game over, and Landry recovering that onsides kick, how someone didnt pop him one for the road. Blows my mind. Edited October 27, 2016 by Captain_Quint
K-9 Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 without knowing the nature of the actual injury its a bit much to be advocating a guy retires. I'm not advocating AW's retirement so much as agreeing that Landry's hit was a dirty cheap shot, chickenschit play. Whatever AW decides moving forward is OK with me. I'm not inside his head, don't know what he's dealing with injury wise, etc. I just know it's the third neck injury sustained in three years which is concerning. Aaaaand here's why you don't count on the NFL to fix this. You fix it yourself, on the field. Hockey justice. I wonder how much Nick Deslauriers would want to attend the rematch and jump over the wall to kick Landry's ass. I think Pegula can do that because he owns both teams in the same market as well as being eligible for the Canadian proximity waiver.
bbb Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 I read it differently. Of course any neck injury is ominous. But the fact he wasn't really hurt, didn't have a concussion, and is back at the team facility suggests the surgery did what it was supposed to do. I bet he plays again later this year but not this week. I was thinking the same thing. I'd like to know what the injury is.
blargo Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) Dad of Bills S Aaron Williams told AP his son intends to wait until offseason to determine whether to keep playing after latest neck injury. I think this means Williams is out for the season.
bobobonators Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 If he's somehow medically cleared, he needs to make the smart decision and walk away. Disturbing that a scumbag hit by a scumbag player like that will ultimately end a guy's career. Truly sad. And by all accounts Aaron is a great guy.
firemedic Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 They better absolutely kick the shizz out of Miami, every F'ing one of them, score hard and frequently. Leave a couple linebackers behind to blow up the cutbacks....... The Miami hatred is renewed.
QB Bills Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 So if my math is correct, we now have zero safeties who don't suck. And yes, I include Corey Graham in that group. Even though he sucks just a bit less than the other jobbers. Would be nice if they re-signed baccari rambo. What's that you say? He signed with someone? When? This week? Damn. Bad luck. With who? Don't say Miami...don't say Miami... Just wonderful...

Maybe he is a much better player then given credit for or his replacements are horrible but clearly the level of play drops He was signed to a long term deal instead of Byrd, he has always been highly regarded. Not sure why you think he doesn't get enough credit. He's been an excellent player for us and I think most of us understood that.
