So, you don't give the guy playing time based on his proven performance? I just find it hard to believe that a perrenial pro-bowler is having to justify playing time behind warrick holdman and chris clemons. This guy has done nothing but lead our Defense since we drafted him and become the face of the team. I like clemons as a third down pass rusher, but not as a blocker-shedding playmaker on the defense. I think the lack of big plays on defense is a pretty big concern with Williams and he'll give Arrington the shot to claim the spot as his soon. Probably after the bye. I hope they just don't want him to get hurt again, but they may be seeing where they'd be if they trade him to unlock some cap room, and keeping him healthy until around week 6. I'd hate to see him go, but it is a possibility.
