Quinnen Williams Fires Back at Skip Bayless Over Shocking Execution Comments

Quinnen Williams Calls Out Skip Bayless for 'Crazy' Rant About Executing Cowboys Players

Skip Bayless might have discovered a way to make the terrible Dallas Cowboys defense a sympathetic figure.

After their latest debacle in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals, Cowboys defensive lineman Quinnen Williams made it clear that the defense needs to "execute" better.

He used that word a whopping 32 times in his comments to reporters.

When Bayless caught wind of that, he went on an unhinged rant and said he wanted to "execute" the players on Dallas' defense.

"Stephen A., we became a national laughingstock once again (on Monday), when Quinnen Williams, in a five-minute interview, used the word 'execute' 32 times in five minutes," Bayless said.

"And I must tell you that during Sunday's collapse against the Arizona freakin' Cardinals, I wanted to execute several of my players during the game, execute them on the field," Bayless added.

"I wanted them to be executed."

Just bizarre.

Quinnen Williams responds to Skip Bayless

As you'd imagine, Williams did not take kindly to Bayless' wild rant.

"(Skip Bayless) it's extremely crazy to say you wanted players on defense to be executed. You got to do better my guy," Williams responded.

Bayless has said a lot of dumb things in his time on television.

The bar is extremely high for him to clear to top his dumbest comment ever.

But he might have done it here.

We know he wasn't serious because Skip couldn't hurt a fly.

But there are better ways to get your point across than saying you want to execute another human being over a football game.

What did Quinnen Williams say?

Given how poorly the Cowboys' defense executes on a weekly basis, Williams probably should've said the word 100 times.

"I think the biggest thing is just execute. We got to execute. We haven't been executing this whole season, and we executed for three quarters (against Arizona) and didn't execute the last quarter, and the film says it all," Williams said.

"So, I think the biggest thing we got to focus on is execute and continue to stack days, and at the end of the day we got to execute."

I'm not sure, but I think he wants his team to execute better.

Williams is not wrong.

The Cowboys were playing good football on the defensive side of the ball, albeit against the lowly Cardinals.

Then a switch flipped and the Cowboys remembered they aren't supposed to be even decent on defense.

Williams took to social media to respond himself.

"It's extremely crazy to say you wanted players on defense to be executed. You got to do better, my guy," Williams wrote on X, tagging Bayless.

Cowboys fans aren't happy with how the defense has played.

Neither are the players.

Still, you have to respect Williams taking time out of his day to address it, especially since he rarely posts.

Before Thursday's post, his most recent one was a promotional post for Raising Cane's, where he serves as an ambassador.

Before that, his previous tweet dated back to February.

Williams isn't someone who lives on social media.

Chances are he heard about the comments and decided he wasn't going to stay silent.

The quote that started it all

So what did Williams say to reporters in the first place?

"I think the biggest thing is execute," Williams said of the Cowboys defensive struggles.
