I totally agree, but my question is was he being 'punished' in some way by not starting?

Perhaps he was, or maybe because he was sick and missed a meeting he lost out on some valuable gameplanning and Williams decided he just wasn't prepared enough to go out and play. That's the feeling I get, I just didn't want to jump on Taylor for missing a meeting when he maybe had a legit reason for it.
