Giants targeted concussion-prone Williams

The kid (K. Williams) is getting death threats.

Stupid fans... (that is not an indictment of Rick, narrator, Cliff, etc...)

Really don't need to publicize they targeted him, I know teams do, but don't need to confirm it.

If it's in the game, it's in the game.

If you put an injured or injury-prone player on the field, the other team will zero in on that. As long as the hit that puts him out is a legal one this isn't a story.

Catchy. That would make a cool product slogan. Maybe for a video game or something.

I guess reticence is not in these player's vocabulary

After the game, Giants wide receiver Thomas told the Newark Star-Ledger that New York targeted Williams due to his history of concussions and he pointed to Sash's hit on Williams as proof their game plan worked. ...

Even his old man stated if he's gonna be in the sport, he's gotta take the heat

"... The thing is, we knew he had four concussions, so that was our biggest thing, was to take him outta the game," Jacquian Williams said.

Stay classy NY.

I don't think he should have confirmed they targeted him, keep that in the locker room, no good will can come from that admission, only negative feelings for that team. I know it happens with all teams, but personally, I don't need to hear it confirmed.

So, they admit going after a guy who's had 4 concussions already? It sounds like they think turning the guy into a vegetable is a small price to pay for victory.

On the other hand, if he's had 4 concussions, why are the Niners using him in punt returns where high-speed impacts are common? Yeah, I know Ginn Junior was out, but why not have someone else be your backup punt returner?

If the kid was still feeling the effects of concussions, or the hit during the game, then this is on the 49ers for putting him on the field, not the Giants.

Just more proof that player safety is an overriding goal in the NFL.
