48 (I think?) career sacks and none of them could possibly matter less.
Another huge waste of talent.
After all you passed to up to get him, and all the criticsm you endured and what he did to even reverse some of that criticsm. Mario is the part of the solution here folks, you don't let him go into the last year of his contract and risk losing him.
Yesterday, Mario wanted to win.
Yah but the problem is he won't want to win again for another 2-3 games..
I think the only thing that could truly make Mario show up and perform 110% every play is by conspiring somehow that the other team scratched his Lambo. I could almost guarantee that would motivate him every play.
Which makes it doubly important that you hire a coach who is capable of motivating Mario Williams. Guys like him are all over the league but they play their asses off for guys like Ryan or Payton or Belichick.
I know they all think the world of these coaches but who's making it their mission in life to show up every Sunday and play for 60 minutes week in and week out to show us?
Gary is an offensive "mind" but he's not a motivator. Nobody will run through a wall for Gary. Ever.
Sorry but in no way shape or form could you ever convince me that this year Mario Williams is the problem with the defense. You could also never convince me that somehow any other player on the DL is playing better than him as well.
He will get re-signed and everybody will be fine with it.
who said don't resign him, I'm not saying he is the biggest probelm with this defense but he as one of it's top players is a leader/role model whether he likes it or not, and if we see him taking plays off we know that the "TEAM" sees him taking plays off and that must be ok right?
No it's not...
I think ragging on Mario Williams for "taking plays off" when the other 7/8ths of the DL is "just plain crappy" is pretty stupid. Maybe one season he won't have to account for 50% of the total sacks for the team. Maybe.
LoL, you guys just don't get it.. if he is taking plays off everyone will take plays off it permiates the entire defense, it's NOT a good thing to have one of your best players consistenly taking plays off..
I'd rather have a guy that only gives us 8-9 consistent play all year long
the whole "mario taking plays off" argument has been debunked so many times its not even funny yet some still feel the need to bring it out just b/c this guy isn't getting 3 sacks a game. As has been said by numerous sack artists & coaches, sacks come in bunches. The guy is a monster against the run & is basically the only real threat on the dl. His pralis playing against the run & him still being able to put up the sack numbers he does probably makes him the most complete de in the afc at the minimum. what the hell else do you want the guy to do?

Any re-signing, if and when, will be during the offseason. The potential lock out during 2011 may effect some things. Assuming there is football to play going forward, you either re-sign him during 2011 summer or run the risk of him hitting free agency after the 2011 season. At that point, you'd likely franchise him and then negotiate a new contract, I'm assuming.If he gets 12-13 sacks this year do you resign him in the summer or let him enter the final year of his current contract in 2011?
Mario certainly doesn't bring it every down of every game but he has had several big sacks. They would seem bigger if our DBs didn't give up the yardage plus 10 more yards after almost every sack he gets. I bring him back. I mean think about it. His sacks on Sanchez this last game were in great spots. He is better than average against the run. Today he played like the season was on the line.

I hope you didn't read my comment as criticism of Williams. More to the point of....
WHY THE HELL WOULD MARIO WILLIAMS WANT TO RESIGN WITH THIS BULLSHIT?!?!
He's got great numbers on a shoddy team, still got health, still got youth and still has a chance to play for a real team that would make a real difference. Give me ONE reason why he would want to play here anymore. ONE. Can you do it?

The QB throws the ball at the the very last second because he knows 95 percent of the time the guys are going to be open.The leader for sacks by a DE has 8. Mario has 7.5. If the secondary can attempt to play some pass coverage this weekend, he'll be in the lead.
IF u had to trade either Mario or smith next year who would u trade ?????
Becasue 1 of them is the reason why we are not getting better pressure on the QB
Hey, don't look at the DTs for negative comments at the Jets. I think the pass rush was intensified by the fact that they were getting up field and causing that early heat for the Ends to close on. Mario got some, Anderson got some and the pressure was so great that a friggin defesive tackle got a sack. A legit one. Not a coverage sack. D Lewis for friggin president for real. I swear I saw Amobi Okoye making a difference in the game too. The heat was on and the secondary couldn't take it.It doesn't help Mario or Smith that we have no push up the middle either.
Then that is what Bush should do for the rest of the season IMO.one thing I heard from Mario in a clip was that Bush let the front 4 play and they did play well yesterday (for the most part)
there's about to be 60,000 sacks in the stands.
