Hebert19 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Hes playing at a high level. Hes healthy. And he wont want to go out like this. Thoughts. Hope hes got another year in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) He’s done. He has had a fine year but that position has grinded up and spit out men much younger. Time to enjoy his family.

Patrick Duffy Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Would be great if he does and can still play. I personally believe he will retire after this stretch. Of course if he still has the motor and can play, who wouldn't want him back? IMO this one will be it for him though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Very little decay in his game, if any. If he wants to do it, I can see the staff welcoming him back. Just depends where he is mentally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Time for the Bills and Meatball to move on after the season. Maybe he comes back in the future in a coaching capacity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Probably wishes he left last year on a high note! In all seriousness, one thing I would like to know about McD is what kind of relationship he has with his vet leaders, how much time he spends with them, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I don’t think Kyle is coming back. He’s done. McClappys Process is going to take years if it even succeeds. Will miss Kyle though one of the great Bills of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptide Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I could see him come back as a leader and depth guy.

Bing Bong Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) I thought he was a lock for coming back. Why would he sign last year if he didn't think he could still play and thought we'd compete? Still playing at a high level he'd simply regret not seeing this thing out after choosing not to retire early when it was an absolute overhaul. 100% certain Cogs and Wood (he likely would have retired anyway but was given all the more reason to when they) saw the writing on the wall with the only guy keeping a shadow of an offense together was being pushed out and Peterman was was the only guy left and retired. Tyrod may have kept Cogs from retiring and hoping for another playoff experience playing the same formula. But Kyle Williams re-signed.. and has to see this out for as long as he's playing well. Otherwise I can't imagine why he would have re-signed at all, he's having his worst experience of his career I imagine.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I think he can play 1 more season. He is still stout at the LOS and is still the first player to react when the ball is snapped. He would be great in a rotation and I would like to save him for more play in the 3rd and 4 th Qtr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They appeared to be in lock step to me. I also remember Dareus looking like a bystander in at least one before he was shipped out. We don't get that type of insight with all of the losses this year.

VirginiaMike Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I don't think there is any chance he comes back next year. If the Bills were going to be a contender next year, there would be a chance, but, unfortunately, the Bills need too much help ( 2 wide outs, 3 o-linemen, tight end,, and probably 2 DBs) to get back to being a playoff team. Great guy and a great player, I think it's retirement time for Kyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 It would be interesting to see the snaps played at the end of the year and if he's comfortble with that number being the same or decreasing to a point where he sees the field solely as a pass rusher. Same with Lorax, I want him rushing the passer only and not seeing him chasing RBs as a LB, that's not his game anymore I would like to see those two come back, but it would be interesting to see what kind of leadeship emerges without them in the lockeroom.

H2o Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Kyle is the epitome of the consummate professional. He has worked his tail off and been here for what seems like forever. I think his run is at it's end. I highly doubt he returns next season, though I would not mind in any way if he did return. I could see him ending up working for one of the sports networks as an analyst of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjd1001 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I think Jordan Philips has played really well from what I have seen. If, IF he stays consistent, I'd say take the money you were going to pay Williams and use it to resign Philips (not that money should be that big of an issue for this team next year.) Its not that I don't like Williams, I do...and I think he is still pretty good...but better for both the player and the team to leave on time rather than stay one year too long.

Punching Bag Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 If I was in front office I'd offer him a contract with it heavily weighted on number of snaps and be open about it saying they want him in rotation but not expecting him to take a lot of snaps in preseason and during season. There would be a clause paying him bonus any game he was put on inactive list as well. He would not make as much as he is this year but would be taking a lot less of a beating and be getting a lot more than he would than as non-player, even if he decided to go into coaching.

Big Gun Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 My gut tells me he wasnt coming back this year but was talked into it. Question is what did McBean tell him that made him say, yeah, that sounds great, I'll come back for another year. Kyle is smarter than that and wont be duped again.

Ned Kelly Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Would someone like Kyle have much input regarding his replacement? ie. Curious...Does anyone know if it is un/common to seek the advice of veteran players regarding potential draft picks/replacements or who they want alongside them?

My guess is that it would be more likely to seek opinions from rookies/2nd year players who played with/against the potential picks. The GM who bases his selections on the opinion of players will probably be looking for a new job soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
