The final player on this series that we’ll be discussing is Free Security (FS) Jairus Byrd. Byrd was an anomaly in his 1st season with the Bills as he recorded nine Interceptions (INT’s) in his rookie campaign. But, immediately after the 2009 season, Byrd’s INT’s total went down considerably. What created Byrd’s nine INT’s much more impressive, was the truth that he played in 14 games, and started in 11.
In the 2011 season, Byrd put with each other his very best comprehensive stats to date with 98 Tackles (T) (75 solo/23 assisted), 1 Sack, eight Passes Defended (PD), three Interceptions (INT’s), 1 Touchdown (TD), and three Forced Fumbles (FF). Now, for the large query, why did Byrd have so considerably success in 2009 with INT’s, but not so considerably the following two seasons? The answer: lack of a pass rush. 2009 was the final time the Bills employed a consistent pass rusher in Aaron Schobel. In 2009, Schobel had 10 sacks in his final season in a Bills uniform. Because then, Defensive Tackles (DT’s) Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus led the Bills in sacks as Williams had 5.5 sacks in 2010, and Dareus repeated these numbers in 2011. At the time when Williams and Dareus had 5.five sacks, they were playing as Nose Tackles (NT’s) in a hybrid three-four/four-three defense. If the NT’s are top the team in sacks, that implies that the defense is generating no pressure from the edge, which means that there are no elite edge rushers that the offense has to worry about double teaming, and the line can concentrate even a lot more consideration to stopping the nose tackle. As stated in the earlier articles, the Bills lastly have four guys on the defensive line that can create pressure, close in the pocket and force the opposing Quarterback (QB) to throw the more rapidly than he would like to, as effectively as finding bodies/arms/hands in the QB’s throwing lane. Add in Bills new Defensive Coordinator Dave Wannstedt implementing his 4-three defensive program where the Defensive front four’s particular jobs are to penetrate the Offensive line and produce pressure. With every little thing place with each other on defense this previous offseason, we can count on Byrd’s INT total to go up once more and appear for him to place up the best numbers of his young NFL profession to date this season.

Which Bills Player Could Have a Career Year in 2012, Part 2.
Posted on 05 July 2012.
Since we previously discussed Defensive Tackle (DT) Kyle Williams, let’s continue that thread with fellow DT Marcell Dareus.
In 2011, rookie Marcell Dareus had 43 Tackles (32 solo, 11 assisted), five.five sacks and two Passes Defended (PD). Not bad for a player that had no offseason, no OTA’s, no minicamps, a shortened education camp, losing his pro-bowl line mate [Kyle Williams] early on in the season, and switching from a 3-four Defensive End (DE), to a 3-four Nose Tackle (NT). Just like Kyle Williams did in 2010, Dareus had five.five sacks with no very good pass rushers to compliment him. Consider about that for a minute, five.5 sacks with an abbreviated offseason, and no competent support about him. Can Dareus have a career year, and surpass his rookie stats in 2012? Let’s take a appear: Dareus now has a complete offseason to prepare for the upcoming season returning next Dareus is fellow DT Kyle Williams, who is returning from an Achilles injury which plagued him because his collegiate days, and appears to be 100% for the initial time in numerous years add in elite pass rusher Mario Williams, as nicely as adding a excellent pass rusher in Mark Anderson, which gives the Bills their finest pass rushing duo (on paper) since the Bruce Smith/Bryce Paup days and to best it all off, new Bills Defensive Coordinator Dave Wannstedt implementing his four-three defensive technique exactly where the Defensive front four’s specific jobs are to penetrate the Offensive line and generate pressure. With all of that mentioned, not only could Dareus break his rookie numbers, but he can obliterate them. Marcell Dareus has not even begun to scratch the surface on his NFL profession but, as he had an abbreviated offseason, one particular complete season of play, and switching positions mid-season. Can you picture the influence Marcell Dareus is going to have on the defensive line this season? Dareus could really well be the linchpin to the new Bills defense. Bills fans, it is going to be an absolute pleasure seeing this young man create more than the subsequent few years. Dareus could have profession years not only in 2012, but more than the next a number of years as nicely.

Which Bills Player Could Have a Career Year in 2012, Part 1
Posted on 29 June 2012.
This article is the very first in a series of articles that I will be featuring, relating to Bills players that could have a profession year in the upcoming 2012 season. Of course, most of the players that are on this list are on the defensive side of the ball. The players that I have chosen are in no distinct order. Initial up, Defensive Tackle (DT) Kyle Williams.
In 2010, Kyle Williams had 77 Tackles (54 solo, 23 Assisted), five.5 sacks and 1 Pass Defended (PD). Despite switching from a four-three DT, Williams was adjusting his new position as a three-four Nose Tackle (NT). As an alternative of going by way of growing pains mastering a new position, Williams led the team in sacks with five.5, and posted the finest numbers of his NFL profession. First off, NT’s aren’t supposed to register 5.5 sacks. Secondly, if the NT’s leading the team in sacks, that implies that the defense is making no pressure from the edge, which means that there were no elite edge rusher that the offense has to be concerned about double teaming, and the line can concentrate even a lot more consideration to stopping the NT. A year later, in 2011, Kyle Williams went on Injured Reserve to get rid of bone spurs from his left heel. Kyle Williams had a bone spur in his left heel since college that was fundamentally shaped like a choose ax, and was steadily tearing away his Achilles tendon. He had been playing via intense discomfort for a couple of years just before it became unbearable and he elected to have the surgery completed. That is right, Williams had been playing by way of discomfort in the course of the 2010 season, when he registered five.5 sacks as a three-four NT. How scary is it to believe that Williams might now be able to play discomfort free of charge for the very first time given that his LSU days? With his Achilles tendon repaired, fellow DT Marcell Dareus possessing a complete offseason to prepare for the season, plus getting complemented by two really good pass rushing Defensive Ends in Mario Williams and Mark Anderson, Kyle Williams could very easily shatter his old stats in the 2012 season.

Will the Defense Carry the Team?
Posted on 11 June 2012.
After years of struggling to cease the run and to place pressure on the opposing QB’s the Bills the moment again have created moves to shore up both troubles. This past off season was a bonanza of additions we haven’t seen since they signed players such as Bryce Paup, Chris Spielman and Ted Washington in the course of the mid 90′s. They helped carry on the winning tradition of the SB teams till their departures. The Bills did make a run of signing defensive LB’s Spikes, Fletcher, Posey and DT Adams in the early 2000′s but the general team results was fleeting with the only winning season coming in 2004. As we all know the 9-7 record got the Bills a game away from the playoffs as they lost the season finale to the Steelers 29-24… The wheels have spun off considering that then and the Bills have not created it to the playoffs because 1999 an remarkable string of 12 straight years.
Can the addition of DE’s Super Mario and Mark Anderson along with a healthful Kyle Williams team with excellent DT Marcell Dareus adjust the fortunes of this when proud franchise? There is also ample depth that has been added since Buddy took the helm with Carrington, Troup, Edwards, Merriman and from the holdovers from the Jauron regime, Johnson and Kelsay. The D-line is now a unit of strength and talent but will have to carry the defense as the LB unit and secondary are going via a continued transition from the Tampa 2 to bigger kinds of players. Once more the LB unit has gotten bigger and stronger with the addition of Sheppard, Barnett, Morrison and young players White, Moat, Bradham and Carder. The secondary continues to turnover with the release of starters Whitner final year and Drayton this year as the Bills have added younger players Williams, Byrd, Rogers, Searcy and Gilmore to go with steady vet an fan favorite Wilson. Bryan Scott can play either robust safety or LB and along with injury prone McGee and the ever disappointing McKelvin may well have a tough time producing the team this year. There is so significantly talent on the defense that it is hard not to get excited about watching them play but can they carry the team in the Offensive Style of NFL play? .

Posted on 05 April 2012.
Before final game, Gregg Williams urged Saints to injure 49ers
Just before his final game as defensive coordinator of the New Orleans Saints, Gregg Williams stepped ahead of his players and urged them to physically hurt players on the 49ers.
Audio of Williams’ speech to the Saints’ defense was captured by filmmaker Sean Pamphilon, who is working on a documentary about former Saints player Steve Gleason, who is suffering from ALS. Pamphilon has place component of the audio of the profanity-filled speech on YouTube.
Pamphilon also passed on the audio to Michael Silver of Yahoo Sports due to the fact, he said, he was extremely uncomfortable with what Williams stated about attempting to hurt 49ers quarterback Alex Smith and other players. Williams, who masterminded the Saints’ bounty plan, hinted that he would financially reward a Saints player who hurts a 49ers player.
“At one particular point Williams says, ‘We hit [expletive] Smith appropriate there’ – then he points below his chin [and continues] – ‘remember me.’ Then he rubs his thumb against his index and middle fingers – the cash sign – and says, ‘I got the very first one particular. I got the first one particular. Go get it. Go lay that [expletive] out,’” Pamphilon told Silver.
Williams has lengthy loved the phrase, “Kill the head and the body will die,” and he utilized that phrase in talking to his players. He also specifically told them to go for the head of 49ers running back Frank Gore.
“We’ve got to do every thing in the globe to make certain we kill Frank Gore’s head,” Williams told his players. “We want him operating sideways. We want his head sideways.”
Williams also talked about trying to inflict a knee injury on 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree and referenced 49ers receiver Kyle Williams, who has had several concussions.
“We want to locate out in the very first two series of the game, the small wide receiver, No. 10, about his concussion,” Gregg Williams told his players about Kyle Williams. “We want to [expletive] place a lick on him, move him to choose. He requirements to make a decision.”
Gregg Williams has currently been indefinitely suspended by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. This audio could make it challenging for Williams ever to get reinstated. This is the smoking gun that tends to make crystal clear that Williams wanted his players not just to play tough, physical defense, but to injure their opponents.

Niners’ Williams Accepts Responsibility for Fumbled Punt Return
Posted on 24 January 2012.
Kyle Williams is ignoring the barrage of hateful, hurtful, even threatening comments he has received via social media in the aftermath of his ill-timed fumble that sent the San Francisco 49ers the to a 20-17 NFC Championship Game loss to the New York Giants.
Williams mentioned Monday he takes full responsibility for his punt-return fumble, which set up Lawrence Tynes’ winning 31-yard field aim in overtime Sunday night, calling the moment “painful.”
“I genuinely didn’t pay attention to Twitter,” mentioned Williams, who was filling in for injured punt returner Ted Ginn Jr. “All the feedback I needed was household and friends, the guys in the locker room.”
Immediately, Williams was created a villain on the Net.
He insisted it’s element of his job to face the criticism in the aftermath of his blunders — he also muffed a punt for the duration of the third quarter — and not hide out in a challenging time. Possibly that will go a tiny way in calming down the angry fans, some of whom wished harm on Williams and his family soon after the gaffes.
“It’s one particular of those issues you have to take accountability for,” Williams stated. “Everybody is responsible for what they do on the field. It’s some thing that I was responsible for, and I made a mistake and it’s time to personal up to it and move forward.”
Niners kicker David Akers took to Twitter on Monday, asking individuals to cease with the harsh remarks directed toward his teammate, saying “ppl need to get a grip! Leave Kyle alone!” Akers also reminded everyone that the NFC West champion 49ers win and shed together, so there wouldn’t be any finger-pointing in the locker space.
“I’m irritated with the way men and women are treating him, totally,” said Akers, who drew Philadelphia Eagles fans’ ire final year with two missed field-aim attempts in the course of a playoff loss. “I believe it’s ridiculous. You know, get a grip on what life’s about. He went out and he put his soul out there. That’s what he does. He was not attempting to do something other than make an amazing play for this team. …
“Mistakes occur. We all make errors. But when you’re out there truly battling to do the finest you can, my hat goes off to him, to anybody that does that.”
A lot of of the 49ers spent the time right after the game and into Monday thinking about the missed probabilities — and not just by Williams.
“It doesn’t surprise me,” 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said of players supporting Williams. “This is a class bunch of guys, a class group, a class team. They have never ever been a finger-pointing group.”
Williams mentioned he didn’t have any regrets about trying to make a return on the overtime play, with a berth in Super Bowl XLVI on the line.
“When you’re out there, you want to make a play,” Williams told Comcast SportsNet Bay Region. “You want to make a play for your team. We weren’t exactly moving forward. It was one particular of these factors that we required one thing to spark us and … I wouldn’t go back and adjust it.”

Williams’ Two Gaffes Contribute to 49ers’ Crushing Loss to Giants
Posted on 23 January 2012.
SAN FRANCISCO — Kyle Williams put his hands on his helmet and dropped his head in disgust. His second big mistake did in the 49ers at the worst attainable time.
Williams fumbled on a punt return in overtime, setting up Lawrence Tynes’ 31-yard field aim, and the 49ers lost the NFC Championship Game to the New York Giants 20-17 on Sunday night.
Williams, who returned kicks in spot of the injured Ted Ginn Jr., muffed one punt early in the fourth quarter to set up Eli Manning’s go-ahead, 17-yard touchdown pass to Mario Manningham. Williams was stripped by Jacquian Williams in overtime to give the Giants the ball at the 49ers’ 24. Devin Thomas recovered each fumbles for New York.
“You hate to be the last guy that had the ball, to give it away in that fashion and to shed a game of this magnitude,” Williams said. “It is what it is. We’re going to move forward as a team. Everyone has come to pat me on the back and the shoulder to say it’s not me.”
Right after Tynes kicked the winning field aim, Williams slowly created a dejected walk back to the locker space as the 49ers missed out on a prime likelihood to go to Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis.
“It will be a difficult 1,” 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh mentioned. “It will take a even though to get over.”
The truth that turnovers did in San Francisco was genuinely surprising. The 49ers tied an NFL record with just 10 giveaways all season — which includes none on unique teams — and had a plus-28 turnover margin throughout the normal season. They took benefit of five New Orleans Saints turnovers to win 36-32 final week but were on the incorrect finish in this game since of Williams, who didn’t appear smooth fielding punts right after doing it just twice in the course of the typical season.
“I told him we’re all in this together,” 49ers All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis stated. “I believe in him. If I had a do-more than, he’d nonetheless be my guy back there. He’s a tremendous athlete.”

A speech not unlike the one particular each and every defensive coordinator in the history of football has produced prior to a huge game.
Preserve in thoughts the 49ers are recognized to have referred to as this a “body bag game.” The players know the score, even if the commissioner and a bunch of the fans want to hide their collective heads in the sand.
Wow man what a d*ck.. Dude is just evil.
Rather it was Pierre Thomas who was taken out by a helmet-to-helmet hit.
Oh yeah, absolutely nothing incorrect with that. Nothing at all. Just a tiny incentive. All the teams do it. Correct. Positive they do.
OK Saints fans … let’s see you justify this one particular.
he is a pig. the who dat crowd must be ashamed for trying to assistance this punk.
I understand that football is going to test a player’s recovery for injuries as players go all-out to win, but to go out and order such certain hits, to try to finish careers, it’s just sickening.
Sick, just flat out wrong. Williams really should by no means set foot in a football locker room for the remainder of his life.
You’re damn right I named the code red!!!
Goodell really should send a copy to the Louisiana Committee on Senate and Governmental Affairs…
What a total douche. And the Saints’ fans will continue to say they were too harshly punished? Give me a break.
There’s a large distinction among becoming aggressive and being malicious. There’s no room in the game for a guy like this. Just make it official and slap a lifetime ban on him.
Wow. Just listened. What a D-Bag. There is your proof kool-help drinkers.
Who paid Donte Whitner?
I knew it was poor.. but damn
Banned for life.
Really surprised no 1 in the locker area spoke out against this.
This guy is done
That’s just as well far.
Can’t wait for a lot more Saints fans to continue to claim that they’re nevertheless the victim despite this evidence.
All of you worthless TROLLS should have fun beating this dead horse!!!!! DISGUSTING!
Greg Williams, you are the weakest link!
Stuff like that opens pandora’s box for players injured by Saints suing in civil court…
What a mess, Greg Williams is gone for very good, rightfully so..
Thank goodness the NFL brand is so powerful it will polish away this blemish..
It’s a violent game, and men and women will be injured. “The QB should go down challenging ” is element of the game..but NOT with “attempt to injure” head and knee shots!
