Inside The Bills

What Wannstedt can offer Williams

Bills defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt in conversing with free agent Mario Williams at dinner Tuesday evening in downtown Buffalo with other members of the Bills brass has a lot to offer the prized pass rusher. Here’s a small sampling.

First, he has a proven track record as a successful defensive coordinator including a Super Bowl with Dallas. In his time in Miami, he may also want to point to Jason Taylor’s track record playing in the same position that Williams would play with the Bills in Buffalo were he to sign. Here are Taylor’s stats under Wannstedt.
