Many feel GW's style is one of intimidation. many do not care for it. Personally, I think it is a persona he has created specifically for the media.

‘With the signing yesterday of 6-foot-2-inch, 230-pound former Buffalo Bills running back Antowain Smith to a one-year contract for $560,000, the Patriots made themselves bigger at that position. The question, of course, is whether they made themselves better.’

‘It appears all is well with the Corey Moore situation, at least from the Buffalo Bills’ point of view.’

‘Said Belichick: "Why was he featured in some games and not others? You’d have to ask people in Buffalo."’

‘"It just didn’t work out for me," Smith said. "The offense kind of changed from my rookie year. They brought in a different offensive coordinator. From there it kind of went downhill for me."’

‘It helps that Williams, unlike Phillips, stresses discipline and attention to detail — from film study to fitness. For the first time, Johnson, son of a disciplinarian football coach, feels at home under the stricter regime.’

‘Smith was impressive in early workout this spring for the new Bills staff and Donahoe conceded there was a time he looked like the team’s best back. But then he abruptly stopped showing up for workouts and that, combined with his cap status, sealed his fate.’

‘Mackler said he and Moore were especially incensed over comments Williams made Wednesday, questioning Moore’s commitment and criticizing him for failing to return Williams’ messages.’
