Jigger Here Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Former first-round draft pick Troy Williamson never really got along with coach Brad Childress in Minnesota.His feelings haven't changed since leaving there, either.Williamson, now in Jacksonville, said Wednesday he lost respect for his former coach last year and would like to "duke it out" with him when the Jaguars host the Vikings on Sunday."We can meet on the 50-yard line and we can go at it," Williamson said.The 6-foot-1, 200-pound receiver said he liked his chances against Childress, too, especially with a few inches and at least 10 pounds on the coach. Williamson even said he would fight with both hands tied behind his back.Childress countered by saying, "He must not be aware there's a buffer zone between the opponents."Childress initially said he wasn't "biting" on Williamson's comments, but when pressed about his height and weight on a conference call, he responded: "Do you need my reach? I'm not like a woman; I'll give you my weight. It's 190 pounds of twisted steel and rompin', stompin' dynamite. Is that enough humor for you?"Perfect, coach.Now back to the fight. Williamson didn't say whether he wanted a boxing match, a WWE-style showdown or maybe something edgier, like a mixed martial arts cage match.Either way, Vikings defensive end Jared Allen knows who he would bet on if there was a River City Rumble."Coach Childress is a tough-minded guy," Allen said. "And he has a bad ... mustache."Please do, then we can get a new coach for that pathetic guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zamboni Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Childress could throw a punch, might be the first thing Williamson has caught in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigums Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Williamson is good at catching punches remember a couple years back at the club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
united jigsticker Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I don't like either one of these guys, but how can the NFL allow a player to make such comments?Jared Allen is right. The Mustache probably would take Willy Drop the Ball Wonkason out pretty fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SledNeck Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Maybe he can hit Childress hard enough that he gets brain damage and they hire Bill Cowher as our new coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IFallsRon Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 TW still hasn't figured out that he's TW. He should shut up. At least he got a chance to fail with the Vikes. Down there he's mostly inactive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigger Here Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 yea, found it on SI and on espn. hopefully we can see pregame on tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawdog Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Is Williamson even active now? I know he wasn't for a while. The guy couldn't catch a cold, he has no business being an NFL reciever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hartner62 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 He won't be active for the Vikes game. He has 4 catches for 27 yards and a td so far this year. What a waste of a draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zamboni Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 BTW, the draft that year was horrible, 1-10:Alex SmithRonnie BrownBraylon EdwardsCedric BensonCadillac WilliamsPacMan JonesTroy WilliamsonAntrel RolleCarlos RogersMike WilliamsI think Edwards is the only one that has gone to the Pro Bowl, maybe I am wrong, but I think so, and this year he has dropped a ton of passes. Jones has the ability, but needs to keep his nose clean, and I kinda doubt that will ever happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
