WILLIAMS’ PLAYBOOKS
Two weeks ago, former Jacksonville defensive end Renaldo Wynn said Gregg Williams told him the reason why William’s Tennessee team defeated Jacksonville in the 1999 season’s AFC title game was because he had the Jaguars’ playbook. According to Wynn, Williams told him so when he later joined Williams with Washington.
“I have playbooks of everybody’s team,” Williams said Thursday at his introductory press conference as Rams defensive coordinator.
Williams said he’s a “voluminous” reader and loves to collect playbooks. He said old playbooks of former coaches Buddy Ryan and George Allen are two of his most treasured ones.
“Every time a free agent walks in a building, he gives you the playbook,” Williams said. “I’ve had guys that have come in to play for me (from) other places that bring my playbook ... they got it from guys that went and played for them.
“We always have everybody’s playbook and (Wynn’s remarks) was really a joke story to listen to that whole thing. When you turn the film on, do you have their playbook? When you match the audio to the thing, do you have the playbook?”
“How much traction did ‘Omaha’ get when Peyton (Manning) said ‘Omaha’ 46 times one game on TV? What’s that mean? It doesn’t mean anything.”
