Gregg Williams says he didn't mean it

“That was a difficult year in a lot of ways because there was a lot of information that was misinformation that got out and I’m the only person in the whole deal that never said anything,” Williams said. “I never said a word. Everybody got out there and pushed their information one way or the other and I didn’t.”

That said, Williams testified in the hearing regarding player suspensions, at one point claiming he tried to stop the bounty program but that Saints assistant head coach/linebackers Joe Vitt insisted that it continue.

“One of the things was it was on my watch, but there was nothing that hasn’t been done in the last 50 years in the sport and there was nothing done to try to hurt somebody,” Williams said. “There was never done with anybody trying to injure somebody.


Williams says bounties weren't about inflicting injuries

And I'm sure he won't coach any of his Rams defensive guys to play dirty, either..

I mean, Jeff Fisher would never allow that, right?

We believe you, Gregg.  Really we do.

Lets be honest here.  Exactly what did you expect from Williams.  Passing the buck and lying and simply two of the many things he does and has done for years.  All cloaked in the veil of being misunderstood while he preaches doing everything you can to win at all costs including intentionally injuring players.  His ends justify the means with few boundaries.  Makes him a scary guy in a violent sport that needs regulation to counterbalance those guys who lack a moral compass and forget that intentionally ending the career of a football player crosses a line and sends you down a slippery slope.

      Week 13 other games

      How about this. We'll revisit this discussion after the Eagles game. Deal? If Bryce lights them up as the current #1 defense I'll happily eat crow and become a believer.

      What Exactly Caused Bryces Turnaround?

      By TG_General · Posted

      I'm no sports psychologist but it does seem like he got through a serious mental block. Someone mentioned above that Thielen alluded to Bryce feeling like he needed to be perfect every play. That feels accurate. Just from watching, it feels like Bryce 1.0 was playing to not mess up (which is the #1 way to make mess up!) instead of just playing the game. Silly as it may seem, watching him dance after running one in yesterday led me to believe Bryce 2.0 is a thing and a legitimate one at that. In the past, it seemed like he felt the need to remain stoic at all times, which is cool if it's your personality but probably is a pretty uncomfortable facade to keep up. Looking back and seeing the way he showed emotion at Bama, that stoic guy isn't him. He's playing the game again, smiling and having fun. Credit to him because having to take a step back like he did could have been a fatal blow for the confidence. I just want to continue to see progress week to week. It won't necessarily be linear but that's OK. He's breaking through blocks and barriers we weren't sure were possible a few weeks ago. Who knows where that trajectory takes him?

      Stopped reading after the first sentence. I said he did a near 180 from earlier and your first sentence rewrites my words. Grasping at technicalities of general statements.
