BF_in_Indiana Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 I'm interested in how the fans react to Willis this week. He got a standing ovation last week but this new story (as rididulous as it comes out sounding) will obviously affect some people at the game. I hope he doesn't get booed when he comes in. The man hasn't even had a chance to comment on it yet.
Coach Tuesday Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 I'm interested in how the fans react to Willis this week. He got a standing ovation last week but this new story (as rididulous as it comes out sounding) will obviously affect some people at the game. I hope he doesn't get booed when he comes in. The man hasn't even had a chance to comment on it yet. 2494[/snapback] Actually, he sure has had a chance to comment on this - he could easily have put this fire out by now, but obviously he and his agent think that it serves them somehow to have this out there (even if they didn't start it).
BF_in_Indiana Posted August 21, 2004 Author Posted August 21, 2004 That's not exactly true. This story came out late yesterday and the team is preparing to play a game tonight. I'm sure it will be addressed after tonight's game. It's not like this story came out on a Tuesday.
CajunBillsBacker Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 If I was coach, I would bench his ass tonight, or at best play him late in the 4th quarter for a few plays.

Would you bench him then?
Mile High Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 i think it's the "media machine" making a bigger deal about it than anything else. i for one would love to see him run against tenn. #1 d tonite to see what he's made of.

Not sure.

He needs to be tested against their number 1 defense if we are going to guage his skills correctly. The main thing I noticed last week that would be the same against a top notch D or backups is his patience and vision. He waits for the hole to open and has the vision to find it when it does. The problem with giving Willis reps with the first team tonight???? Travis will be demanding a trade again come Monday.
Mile High Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 IIRC, the Titans have 4 def. starters out due to injury. Not sure. 2511[/snapback] right but it would still be better to see him play against those guys than the thrid string. just to see were he really is in his progress..
CajunBillsBacker Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 How do you know Willis hasn't already spoken to coach Mularkey and told him that he did not make those comments and is happy where he is??? Would you bench him then? 2508[/snapback] I'm just going by what has been given so far. Willis has had time to reply to the rumor, and hasn't said anything so far.
Mile High Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Travis will be demanding a trade again come Monday. exactly and i couldn't agree with you more, so ya know what that means.. we are in a lose lose situation. god this sucks! (if it's true)
millbank Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 How do you know Willis hasn't already spoken to coach Mularkey and told him that he did not make those comments and is happy where he is??? Would you bench him then? 2508[/snapback] Remember the Bills yesterday said they had spoken to Willis and Willis told them he did not say such a thing so from the Bills and Willis's end they are clear, This issue in on Rosenhaus to clear up and so far he has decided not to only saying no comment.
BF_in_Indiana Posted August 21, 2004 Author Posted August 21, 2004 Exactly. The Bills have said they have talked to Willis. If Willis told them that then I'm fine with it. It's a non issue with the important people involved.......(Willis, the Bills). Who gives a stevestojan what Rosenhaus thinks?
stuckincincy Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 right but it would still be better to see him play against those guys than the thrid string. just to see were he really is in his progress.. 2517[/snapback] Yep. It might be that the Titans will keep in the other 7 starters a bit more that usual at this point in pre-season, so it could be that it might end up being a better test.

BillsGuyInMalta Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 I'd feel ashamed if some Bills fans boo him tonight, especially since we havent heard him say a damn thing yet about this fiasco.
