New Orleans Saints Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams

Thursday, November 5, 2009

Are you familiar with the troubles that the Saints have had with Steve Smith?

“Yeah I am, and I’ve had the same issues too. It’s not like this is the first time I’ve gone against those guys. He’s an unbelievable football player. I wanted to draft him when I was the head coach of the Bills but obviously he came off the board before I had a chance to do that. In fact, his receiver coach in college was my receiver coach at the Buffalo Bills. I knew him inside and out but we couldn’t convince our personnel people to move him up the list to take him sooner. Our receiver coach up there and I wanted him a lot sooner than he was taken by anybody in the league, but he had a couple of health issues coming out. But he’s an unbelievable football player. He does things that obviously you can’t coach. He’s in a system where they’re going to do two or three things that we haven’t even seen on film where they’re going to try to scheme a big play to him. They try to walk down the path with them. Last week they did it; last week they threw one of those plays where they acted like they were going to run it and then they threw it to him on a short hitch, he nods and he goes right on by them. They do a lot of things like that. He’s so explosive. The thing that I think he does is the best is that for a little guy, when the ball goes up in the air, he plays like a 6-10 center; he goes and gets it.
What you have to do is to turn his little body over so that when he does get it, he lands on his head and he doesn’t come back in for a while.
”

Seriously, screw this guy. So glad he's out of the league.

I remembered I posted this when he said it. No one cared then really... Williams tried to pass it off as a joke.

      His play style isn’t what’s needed and he’s slow to get off the time. Watching some of these all 22 clips and there’s once again a massive lack of speed on the field. 3rd year in a row I’ve said from day 1 Bryce needs route runners. He’s had one pure route runner and he turned Thielen into a 1000 yard receiver. At age 35. The Panthers drafted Young to be a “point guard” and proceeded to give him the exact opposite of what he’s needed. It would sure be nice to have a deep threat as well. Something Bryce had at Bama

      I'm the same and I just gave up on it years ago.  I expect the new sale to make it a worse fall into making bigger revenue streams and that's not going to be offline franchise.

      Renfrow for being a role player has been 100% fine.  Heck he should have at least 4 TDs.  Bryce Young just can’t throw the ball.  When he does look Renfrows way and he is open it’s almost always just a bad throw.  Renfrow also has been out there setting great picks like the big play to TMac, getting Bryce Young horrible turnovers wiped on away from the play routes etc.  You could literally already make a highlight real of bad throws to him by Bryce and none of that is pimping Renfrow.   It just highlights Bryce fails at basics over and over every week without fail
