SoCal Deek Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsgoodtime Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Things are clear now? How many incidents that we know of? What a load of crap. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

It's not like it should be a surprise at this point. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloaggie Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. yeah embarrass one of your most talented players and extend a scrub like WOOD.

vincec Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
