2. Hard to be sad about losing him, he did make several of the most ridiculously horrible football plays in the history of horrible football plays.

3. There's got to be some 67-year-old retired Lyman out there that can still play.

4. Hurray!
   Start growing and developing OO!

5. He was a really bad center, good luck williams

6. Stop dude, it's not a shocker. He was the worst center in football.
   I've been telling you this for 8 weeks Let the man rest in peace.Let's go lou.

7. Initially I feel the same. Disappointed in him. But we should also come from a place of positive intent and that he didn't just "give up" on the team. Hopefully everything is ok with him

8. He's like "Yeah, I don't want to be on this team anymore." Career earnings: $24,520,574. He'll be fine. Quiting on your employer isn't a lack of character. Stop thinking players owe anything to the team that employs them. It's just a job for 95% of players. When you quit your last job was it an indictment on your character? No.

9. That's not true. This man was bad in Dallas as a guard came to Miami for a year and he got hurt.
   This man have not been a good football player. What is this guy talking about He Wasn't A good guard And a terrible center This guy did not know connor williams he just talking.

10. Good, maybe he'll stop snapping over Genos' head! 😂😂

11. Quitter

12. In the words of GW "Shock and Awe"

13. wow

14. b

15. Wow

16. B

17. Conner was an Asset for sure but Family comes first. Much Love and Respect for the man. I hope God is with him and his family ❤

18. One word reaction: Wow! Maybe he didn't like feeling all the hate after the bad snaps. I saw some vids that showed he had the same thing happen in Miami last year. Turns out his time as an OL started at Tackle, then he got moved in to Guard, and finally Center. All this was back half college or later. Would have been interesting to see what would have happened if we moved him to Guard and let Olu move to Center. Perhaps replacing Bradford, or rotating. Oooh, just got the part of the video where you mention that he stated he didn't want to move back to Guard. Well, he can take his millions and his position demands and ride off into the sunset. I do hope it isn't due to some serious non-football issues. Don't wish that on anyone. Let's not forget that Olu has at times fallen to #3 on the depth chart and been a "healthy scratch". I think there is something "fishy" with him. Won the Rimmington Award, but lingered in the draft until R5, and can't crack the line up in what his second or third year? And a healthy scratch? Maybe his game doesn't translate well to the NFL, after being good in college. My neck muscles have doubled in size after years of shaking my head that we took Eskridge when we could have had Creed Humphry, and stopped this half decade or so of revolving door at Center. By now, we could hook a generator to this revolving door and power Lumen Field.

19. I was just wondering how many interceptions Geno Smith is going to throw in sunday's game

20. We are so bad we are making people retire mid-season. Lord and savior Geno Smith save me.

21. John Schneider should be fired… We sign 2 new line backers, they're gonna… Conner williams now… like WTF is going on John.

22. I real hope Olu gets to play, he literally won outland trophy and we picked him up in the 5th! Let's prove he's a steal and start him.

23. Lets go Olu…

24. Finally! No more failed snaps and O line excuses.

25. All prayers to Connor if somthing happend in his life and much respect to be able to step away from the game.. BUTTA If Coach started gettin on his @ss then Good! SHAPE UPBOR SHIP OUT!!… I Got Faith In Doubble O!

26. I think he was gonna be benched too and I bet that’s why he retired. Well that’s what happens when you keep hiking the ball 3 feet over the quarterback head.

27. Totally screwed us more than once this season and and now again who quits mid season what a loser

28. Anything is better than him though bye good riddance you bum

29. Before anybody says anything negative about Williams, we should know the reasons for the retirement. It could be a family member passed unexpectedly or has been diagnosed with something like cancer, and he has to prioritize his life.

30. Prayer's

31. Where is this world heading to? Are you kidding me? Unbelievable.

32. Typical

33. When something like this happens you gotta think it's for a terrible reason. Tragedy doesn't care if it's the middle of the season or not.

34. I’m assuming it’s bc he either didn’t want to switch to guard bc they said it was in his contract to only play center or Seattle forced this! Bc if it’s family he could’ve just taken a few weeks as personal time…also it’s funny he retires after playing like dog 💩 these past weeks and being asked to move positions.

35. Wow!

36. I think there must be some medical issue possibly with himself or a member of his close family, all we can do is wish him all the best Tyler and hope they find a good replacement.

37. To much happening with this team! I need another bye week 🤣

38. I'm shocked but I understand family first.

39. HE SCREWED US!!!

40. Mabey he did a long with geno

41. Geno has 25 million cap hit next year he needs to go
