Denali Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hearsay definition: link I'm a skeptic. I'll believe any severe punishent only when I see it. Otherwise, the bounties and ensuing punishments are all conjecture. Nevermind: On Friday afternoon, Wililams tried to defer the upcoming firestorm with this statement, released through the Rams: "I want to express my sincere regret and apology to the NFL, Mr. Benson, and the New Orleans Saints fans for my participation in the 'pay for performance' program while I was with the Saints. It was a terrible mistake, and we knew it was wrong while we were doing it. Instead of getting caught up in it, I should have stopped it. I take full responsibility for my role. I am truly sorry. I have learned a hard lesson and I guarantee that I will never participate in or allow this kind of activity to happen again." Why did he self-destruct here? He could have instead said nothing?

WG53 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 What is the big deal? Defenders are not supposed to be nice and have always looked to hurt people. I do not see this as a problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLocker10 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Uh oh... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/02/report-williams-had-bounty-system-in-washington-too/ http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/post/new-orleans-saints-had-bounty-system-that-paid-for-injuring-opponents-nfl-announces/2012/03/02/gIQAPNDDnR_blog.html The Washington Redskins had a bounty system for big hits on opponents under former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams that was similar to the one revealed by an NFL investigation of the New Orleans Saints, four players who played under Williams said Friday. Three of the players described a coach who doled out thousands of dollars to Redskins defenders who measured up to Williams’s scoring system for rugged play, including “kill shots” that knocked opposing teams’stars out of a game. “You got compensated more for a kill shot than you did other hits,” said one former player, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Of the four players interviewed, only Philip Daniels, a former defensive lineman, was willing to be quoted on the record. He defended Williams’s coaching. Daniels now serves as the team’s director of player development. Players said compensation ranged from “hundreds to thousands of dollars,” with the biggest sum any player received believed to be about $8,000.

TitansGuru Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Let's hope this wasn't put in place while he was here. I doubt it, but you know they are probably going to look at how far back this goes. I don't think they would punish us given how long it has been but it could lead to a much harsher punishment for Williams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonboy Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 They must have had some pretty damning evidence for Williams to instantly come out with an apology. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLocker10 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Gray is a GW disciple which worries me a little bit At the same time, I really didn't get the feeling that we were "dirty" this season with Gray as DC so I'd like to think he didn't bring that here I know some people were worried when Gray talked about hitting people in the NO game, but I felt we toed the line well in that game...we were physical and aggressive, but we didn't cross the line into dirty play in my view Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzTitan Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the NFL has determined that MLB Jonathan Vilma was one of the primary culprits in the Saints' "pay for performance" bounty program that will result in NFL discipline. Ah, I had a feeling the NFL would try and at least get a few players to pay for this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
