N F L P A Knew About Williams Speech Before The League Did

Per Chris Mortensen (Sources: NFLPA had tapes early)

How did they know? Fairly simple explanation there. Scott Fujita is a member of the Union's Executive Committee and told them what was in the speech.

Worth remembering that Drew Brees is also a member of that committee. Brees has been doing his best "Sgt. Schultz" impersonation since the story broke. His continuing that tactic, even denying the "real existence" of the program and disputing that anyone was encouraged to injure opponents, in the face of audio that says things like "take out his outside ACL" and "test his concussions" just makes him look like a huge hypocrite. Hearing that he probably had this info even before the news broke doesn't help.

And then there's also the question of why the NFLPA, whose stated purpose is the protection of the players, chose to try and use this knowledge to protect those who took part in this action from punishment rather than acting in the best interest of other players who could have fallen victim to those tactics.

It's quite a line the union is walking on this one.

Just shows you how dirty the NFLPA is. They dont give a damn about players safety, they just wanted more money. Also its laughable that when teams would even touch Brees they would get a 15 yards but his team was trying to kill the other QB and the Refs did nothing.

Also now being reported that Gregg Williams came clean with the league early on about the stuff he was saying. Pretty clear Williams is one of those fake tough guys who talks all big and bad until he has to look you in the eye.

Still wonder if eventually, as Michael David Smith theorized, Williams will turn "star witness" against his former employers (assuming he hasn't already)

If that happens I could see Benson trying to sell the Saints again. He just bought the Hornets and could just say to hell with the Saints.

Brees has gotten himself into the poo now. Continues to maintain his ignorance, yet more and more facts show that he would have had to have been aware. This is when I would like a former player to come out and say that Brees did in fact know with some type of proof. Call him out for the pansy liar that he is.

      Most hated teams

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
