Dareus sent home for violating a team rule

[SoCal Deek]

I can't believe that his Contract doesn't allow the franchise an 'out' for poor behavior OUTSIDE of football. What idiot employer would agree to that kind of a deal?

 

This is where the Teams have to be able to petition the League.

[Gunsgoodtime]

He was probably late. He had issues with that when Marrone was here. Things were pretty lax with ol' Rex so maybe some old habits crept back up on him.

 

 

It is known that you have lethal twos, my man.

 

Kudos to you for having your **** together. Some do, some don't. I do empathize with the guy and with anyone who's been dealt a tough hand in life. That stuff screws with your head and can really interfere in how you want to conduct yourself in your day to day life.

 

Thank you and I don't disagree with you. Its just a matter of who you are and how you handle it, everyone is different. Unfortunately I just don't think Dareus is one who handles it well, and it hurts me to say that because I know he is a great player

[3rdand12]

I do feel for the guy but it's difficult to defend him. He seriously has no one to guide him and very little family. Most of his close friends were guys who were getting into trouble a lot and he's (as far as we know) closed himself off from that type of crowd. He says his teammates are his family but they can only do so much for him. And if they are his family, then you'd think he'd learn to stop disappointing them with senseless, selfish acts. When he's on, he's a really good player. I hope it's a minor setback and he can get past it. Kyle Williams has said on several occasions that this is the most focused, in-shape and ready to buy-in version of Dareus he's seen yet. I hope that continues.

 

And for what it's worth, I heard the rule he violated was doing a number two on the team bus. Everyone knows you can only do number one on the bus. Bus plumbing just isn't equipped for two's. /s

so you are saying he stinks up the joint?

f that he knows he has the Team by the scrotum. he aint stupid and he aint working the angle of poor Kid any longer

Every single decision the bills make, they should ask themselves one question:

"Would the pats do this?"

SO, the question for whaley should have been would the pats

have given out that contract?

As much as despise the pats organization they seem to do everything right.

Bills are the polar opposite of the pats.

The Pats have done one thing right. Got unbelievably lucky on a sixth round draft pick. That's it. It has enabled them to do everything else that they do because they can. It doesn't mean it's right, it just means they can.

[Helpmenow]

I really don't think he cares. At this point he's rich and I don't think football is a priority.

. 60 million in the bank!! I'd say he doesn't give a crap

....and why is this very to the point, simplistic assessment so hard to accept?....and why us Fat Albert Hayneswirth II an unfair analogy???...........The "Crisco Kids" have cashed.............

Sadly, this is the feeling I'm getting too.

Dareus: Things are crystal clear for me now

Marcell Dareus addressed his misstep that earned him a trip home before the Bills preseason game in Baltimore.

Things are clear now? How many incidents that we know of? What a load of crap.

@MatthewFairburn

Here's some of what Buffalo Bills DT Marcell Dareus said about his latest screw up: http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2017/08/what_buffalo_bills_dt_marcell_dareus_said_about_violating_team_rule.html

 

 

 

LMAO Whatever. Dareus will tell him he is sorry, blah blah blah then screw off again, and again and again. Go half assed in most of his plays and still cash a check.

 

Sorry this is very weak.

To be fair, we still don't know exactly what happened and where this went wrong. If, for instance, Rex let guys that were out with injury in the preseason roll in on their own and McD had a different expectation that was assumed to be known... that's way different than if MD said "screw that guy I'm doing whatever I want"

 

MD gets very little benefit of the doubt but this could be pretty minor. Or incredibly defiant. We will see.

[Best Player Available]

Can't run Dareus out of town despite his constant !@#$ ups.

He's too good.

True, it is crazy due to his contract. He can eff up off the field if he chooses. His stats suffered under the clown bros. But,until he starts taking plays off like M. Williams did constantly he is the best Dt the team has. Him and Kyle can be a force this year.

We know that every other player knew when to be at the field for the game. This was Dareus being Dareus. It's not like it should be a surprise at this point. Let's hope he now realizes that he has to get in line. If not, he's going to have to deal with the consequences. Edited August 28, 2017 by BarleyNY

I agree - but I think there's a range of "omg can you believe that he did that" and "oh, hopefully all is clear now" that is still possible. I.e. Is he actively defiant or mostly dumb/immature

[buffaloaggie]

Watching the interview, I only get the feeling that Dareus disrespects the Coach. He just refers to him as "McDermott". Not Coach McDermott. This D line will fall apart once Kyle Williams retires. No veteran, no mature presence. Bills players said they lacked discipline under Ryan, now they can't take a disciplined approach, so it seems. This is a big setback after Williams said he's never seen Dareus more focused.

Probably just immature and seeing what he can get away with. Whether or not he now gets in line will tell us whether or not there's a defiance issue.

[papazoid]

he forgot to add......I also take full responsibilty for my next selfish immature act

[oldmanfan]

If I'm his teammates I gang up on him in the locker room, hold him down, and try to beat some sense into him.

[papazoid]

wouldn't it be nice if people said what they really think...

 

i would like to thank doug whaley for guaranteeing me $60 million.....now I really don't give a chit

ICYMI: Familiar spot for Marcell Dareus, trying to answer for mistake. He didn't say much, but #Bills teammates did

[quinnearlysghost88]

Seriously. Sending him home is doing him a favor.

No, I'm pretty sure that's embarrassing, especially in the locker room the next day.

This was the key takeaway for me. Marcell made it VERY clear when he referred to coach as "McDermott" yet when referring to others he said "the other coaches". It's early but there is a clear appearance of disrespect (as well as immaturity) when it comes to Marcell and Coach McDermott. That isn't healthy going forward. Hopefully things calm down and Marcell gives it 100% going forward.

It seems like classic Dareus nonchalance to me.

This. I really doubt he puts that much thought into things.

He won't change.

 

I know folks think that he'd cut out the shenanigans on another team, but he won't.

I hope Coach Wauffle lights Dareus' butt up with a good Marine Corps butt chewing.

In a perfect world that would be nice. Dareus doesn't care whether the guy chewing his ass is a former Marine or not. In one ear and out the other.

Perhaps. I know I've been on the receiving end of those while on active duty and it's not for wimps. Maybe it would be a good wake up call for Dareus to get his act together and act like a professional.

Agreed. I was former USAF so I didn't get the ass chewings you did but I get the whole gist of discipline. Unfortunately, Dareus is a very rich man that doesn't need to listen.

If you think Dareus is embarrassed about this you are clueless. If he embarrassed that easily he would have stopped his moronic shenanigans a long time ago.

[vincec]

Let's face reality- it's only a matter of time before he is shipped out or leaves. The only thing holding him here for now is his contract structure so the minute there's a way out of that I suspect he will depart.

[Kelly the Dog]

He was at the stadium exactly two hours before the game he wasn't going to play in. He probably didn't think it was all that important to miss stretching he wasn't going to do.

 

McD, however, wanted all the players on the team to go through what his game day road experience was to be like, so it would not be new to anyone when they did it during the regular season. That is why guys like Glenn and Matthews traveled with the team and even did some warmups. So McD had good reason to be strict about this.

 

I think it was a very minor infraction that deserved its penalty. I sometimes stick up for Dareus but his interview was awful. He acted like a jerk imo. He should have been much more apologetic for breaking the team rule.

Well said, KTD. He didn't take "the process" seriously (not being intentionally facetious). If he doesn't start to take it seriously now with something like this, it will lead to not taking bigger things seriously down the line. The punishment was appropriate for the action. Nothing more, nothing less.

[Beast]

If we were told Wednesday night that a player would be sent home for violating team policy, who do you think would have led if a poll was available with each player listed?
