C.Biscuit97 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Personally, I'm just happy they are getting rid of all pro DEs for below .500 coaches. You can never find those anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can never find those anywhere.This is now a pattern with MW. Forget who the coaches are, he quit. Rex doesn't have to start him, and can play him sparingly. Let MW show his true colors and refuse to play if he doesn't start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let MW show his true colors and refuse to play if he doesn't start. Funny how much a difference a year makes. Never heard one word about him not playing hard last year. In fact, he was plowing people out of their homes during the November storm. Now, he is a malcontent. Â Again, why don't the coaches bench him if he is quitting on the team?

Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 You'd think so, but he's been "auditioning" all year. I guess it's time to show he CAN still play, if nothing else. Exactly my point. He probably wants to go out with a bang and rack up a few sacks. He probably will go rogue and rush Fitz on every snap, ignoring his coverage responsibilities.

You can never find those anywhere.Once again, save your outrage for someone who tries (and cares). Funny how much a difference a year makes. Never heard one word about him not playing hard last year. In fact, he was plowing people out of their homes during the November storm. Now, he is a malcontent. Again, why don't the coaches bench him if he is quitting on the team? The Pegulas are paying him $1 million per game. The fans who use Mario to make a case against Rex (and don't give any credit at all to Rex for hiring a good OC whilst carping all last season about Marrone's inability to hire Norv Turner) are people I can't figure out. Mario's effort this season is the worst I've seen in team history. And he's the highest paid player in team history. And no, I'm not a fan of Rex as a head coach. He did a poor job this year on defense, although the offense was light years better. Edited January 3, 2016 by dave mcbride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackInDaDay Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) SOB will probably get 2 of our 6 sacks, as Rex goes for broke Edited January 3, 2016 by BackInDaDay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 It would actually help him to play hard and play well since the quotes came out about him this week and he's going to have to answer to that with other teams who pair it with the film. He can say "look what I did in a meaningless game! I was just uh... sick the last 8 weeks. That's it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Exactly my point. He probably wants to go out with a bang and rack up a few sacks. He probably will go rogue and rush Fitz on every snap, ignoring his coverage responsibilities. Think Fitz will go with a "Longest Yard crotch shot" to slow him down?

seadog Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I dont think Mario ever bought into Rexs defense and it showed. Coverage was thd best thing he did this year. His pass rush was horrible he looked slow and weak and his run defense fell off also. Didnt seem liked to get into the physical of the game. He is only interested in sack totals and he wasnt getting them ryan. I think he was cancer in locker room for his out spoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackInDaDay Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 you mean like last time they played Fitz? honestly, I don't remember how Rex game planned that win.. but I'm thinking that may have been one of the solid efforts in the new D.. either way, I'm thinking #90 was on the field that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a Tuel Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Again, why don't the coaches bench him if he is quitting on the team? Â Why did Corbin Bryant have 21 tackles and Mario Williams have 3 tackles over the last 8 games combined if Mario Williams didn't quit? Â Why did Mario Williams have 19 tackles across the first 8 games if his 3 tackle performance was due to scheme? Â No one doubts that the defense didn't do as well this year because of adjusting to Rex's scheme, but the drop off in production from Mario Williams in the second half of the year is telling. Â Edit: To answer your question, they should bench him, but we are shorthanded as it is. Edited January 3, 2016 by What a Tuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blargo Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I don't think they can officially make him inactive without pissing off the NFL because he's listed as probable. Sure they can, healthy scratch. That happens all the time when the team is healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Since Mario will not be here after this season , I would play his back up to get more experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-8 Forever? Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Who are we going to replace him with at this point? IK? Jerel Worthy? yeah, they'll just put him out there and he will make sure he doesn't get hurt and can start his vacation healthy.. I never liked the signing years ago. was such a reach for what was such a desperate franchise at that time... will be good to see him go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
