Gregg Williams's career surviving that audio recording of him telling his players to injure guys has been a wild development even for the NFL imo

Dollars to donuts everyone in the NFL has worked with someone that did it, but probably not as prolifically

Damn it, this always happens. I think I'm gonna score, and then I never score. It's not fair.

I mean, pull up just about any NFL Films clip of defensive players or coaches through at least the mid-90’s and they’ll openly talk about trying to injure other guys. A few teams in the mid-80’s, IIRC both the ‘85 Bears and ‘86 Giants, took a lot of pride for having streaks of knocking the opposing QB out with injuries.

The thing that really stood out to me about Bountygate was some people getting much more upset about Gregg telling players to take out the knees than they were about him saying about Frank Gore after he'd had a concussion, "Crush the head, and the body dies."

I think if the tapes came out now the reaction would be different since people are more knowledgeable about the damage from concussions.

But up to a few years ago, some players would prefer a bit to the head versus the knees, since in could keep you out a week while the other could end your season or career.

He's a garbage human being. He's done more than enough to disqualify him from any coaching job.

The worst thing he did wasn't in creating and running the bounty program, it was in going states evidence for Goodell against the organization and his players in order to salvage his career after he drew the lifetime ban.

Knees are something you can very obviously gently caress up though, and there's a difference in tackling form between trying to willis mcgahee guys and driving your pads thru their thighs

This is real bold of Greggg when the dude has got to know deep down he isn't as good a coach as Carroll and the amount of problems he runs into throwing everything and the kitchen sink into his defense.

Is there security cam footage of this (yet)? I really want to see how he thought this would work. I'm picturing everyone else sitting around in t-shirts and gym shorts and some "dude" walking in with 6" lifts, full pads, and a mirrored visor. "How do you do, fellow Seahawks?"
