Kyle Williams said he was "shocked" that the New York Giants were not disciplined for comments made by a couple of their players that the San Francisco 49ers receiver was targeted in last year's NFC Championship Game because of his history of concussions.

It was during the Giants' 20-17 overtime victory in San Francisco last season that Williams fumbled two punt returns, including one in overtime that led to Lawrence Tynes' game-winning field goal.

After that game, Jacquian Williams and Devin Thomas both admitted that the special teams were well aware of Williams' concussion history.

"The thing is, we knew he had four concussions, so that was our biggest thing, to take him out of the game," Jacquian Williams said after the win.

Even though Kyle Williams wasn't hit in the head on those two fumbles, the 49ers' punt returner said the Giants did hit him in the head during the game. But he wouldn't go as far as to say that the Giants were purposely aiming for his head.

"They got me," Kyle Williams said. "They definitely got me."

The Niners returner is currently on injured reserve but is with the team at the Super Bowl. He said he is not bitter or upset with the Giants.

"Guys try to put guys out of the game every single game," he said.

Gregg Williams was heard on an audio tape that was part of the NFL's investigation into the Saints' bounty scandal directing his players to target Kyle Williams before a Saints' game against the Niners.

"We need to find out in the first two series of the game (about) that little wide receiver, No. 10 (Williams), about his concussion," the former Saints defensive coordinator said on the tape. "We need to f------ put a lick on him right now. He needs to decide. He needs to f------ decide."

That's why Kyle Williams thought the Giants might be disciplined after hearing what Jacquian Williams said and how Thomas also said, "He's had a lot of concussions. We were just like, 'We've got to put a hit on that guy.'"

"The only thing that was crazy to me was that nothing came of it," the Niners returner said. "That was the only thing. Because I fully expected it to because of what just had happened with the Saints. When that came out I was like, Oh, OK there'll be the same type of thing.' But there was nothing.

"I don't know if that was because (the Giants) won (the Super Bowl), or if it just wasn't a big deal. But I just thought it would be exactly the same type of thing."

anyways to answer Kyle Williams' question... there was nothing done because you are not a QB. (or cause its the Giants and NFL lets Mara do whatever he wants...)

There isn't anything shocking about this. Goodell has adopted the Stern approach complete with favored franchises, favored players, and a general dislike for defense in general.

Its not shocking to me because in reality the whole bounty gate ordeal was such a ridiculous sham to begin with. Godell is such a worthless piece of garbage.

Lol this whole concussion thing with NFL is going to get very interesting in the coming years. Gonna really determine where the game goes in the future. They were talking about it on 980 the other day after Pollard said the league wouldn't exist in 30 years/ Obama said he wouldn't want his son to play football, the NFL has a big problem here.

Oh yeah the Giants suck...just to stay on topic here.
