Williams was benched and getting cut in the off season, but now he is in the starting line-up.
Williams was expected to rebound big in 2016, but instead ended up a complete dud.
In a strange set of circumstances Mario Williams has been yanked from exile and had the red carpet rolled as he steps back into the starting Defensive End position opposite Cameron Wake.
Saaaayyyy whhhaatt?!!!
Jason Jones was cut, Andre Branch moved to back-up Wake, and Terrance Fede is now backing up Williams.
Wow!
Now, I’m not even going to think about questioning Adam Gase when it comes to reading players.
He has nailed it with Jay Ajayi, Damien Willliams, DeVante Parker, Ryan Tannehill, Kenny Stills, Deon Sims, Jermon Bushrod as far as reading the tea leaves correct about the players talents and what they needed from a coaching stand point to get them moving in a better direction.
But, you might say they are all offensive players.
Well, Miami also has a coach named Vance Joseph who has been equally adept at cultivating players: Byron Maxwell, Tony Lippett, Kiko Alonso, Baccari Rambo, and as of late Jordan Phillips.
Both coaches have signed off on this move. Could you get better signatures?
When Mario Williams was play in top form, he was a dominating force.
This move is a 100% wildcard that will end up either an ace in the hole or a joker.
The decision to bring William back is sure to break hard, one way of the other.
I guess when you really think about it, this run defense couldn’t get any worse. So there’s that.
But, what if this end up a stroke of genius? What if Williams decides to give his all for a few games?
Williams has never, ever played in the playoffs, and he’s getting cut in the off season. This will be the last bit of film he’ll get to shop his wares around to other GM’s in 2017, and will more than likely be his last chance at prime time.
If there is a drop of motivation left in his 6’6” 300 lbs frame, then it will wake up come Sunday.
And that could be very good new for the Dolphins defense said the best pay per head bookie service.
I’m not going to even guess whether this will work. But, this has now become a major story-line for this game. And in a weird season full of surprises, maybe Miami has room for one more? Go Fins!!!
