The way his Jets defenders talk about him, you wonder whether Gregg Williams might have gotten Mahatma Gandhi to run through a wall for him.
Williams is The Mouth That Roars in the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center, and his sound and fury this week were aimed primarily at precocious Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs. Jon Gruden thinks the Raiders can run the football against anyone, and Williams thinks no one can run the football against his Jets at a time when he is fielding the No. 1 run defense in the NFL.
Gruden versus Williams isn’t quite Bill Belichick versus Bill Walsh, but it is one compelling game within the game.
