Gregg Williams Targeted San Francisco 49ers Players Before NFC Divisional Game

Documentary filmmaker Sean Pamphilon was recording footage of former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams before last season's NFC divisional playoff game versus the San Francisco 49ers.

The audio from this recording was released on Pamphilon's website and can now be found all over the internet.

The profanity-laced tirade specifically targets Alex Smith, Michael Crabtree, Frank Gore, Kendall Hunter and Kyle Williams.

The most ravenous low blow for all these names came against Kyle Williams, who had suffered a concussion earlier in the season.

Gregg Williams goes on to motivate his players to "find out about his (Kyle Williams's) concussion."

Granted, the league has already banished Gregg Williams, but the surfacing of this video sparks an added dull blade into what was already a festering gut shot.

However, there's also an almost reversed sense of irony and comedy to Williams's speech.

In the end, it was, after all, the 49ers defense which laid the punishment and, in fact, won the game when the Saints defense got greedy with its blitzing with under a minute left to go in the game.

Poetic justice? Absolutely.

It also goes to show that Gregg Williams was probably an overrated coach who could only seem to motivate his players through systematic headhunting.

Meanwhile, the Saints defense, for lack of a better word, sucked all year and really blew the game against the 49ers.

So, as gruesome as some of this footage might sound, let's not forget who got the last laugh.
