From watching games and interviews we can all agree that Williams philosophy is to play very aggressively. On every play all 11 players have to get to the ball carrier as quickly as possible. But each player also as an area of the field that they are responsible for. So here’s the catch 22. How do you get your players to re-act to the ball quickly but not so quickly as to bite on a trick play.

We saw two examples of that in the Jets game and we’ve seen it last year a few times.

I hate it every time we get burned on one of these. I’m glad these happened last week though. Hopefully they will learn from the mistake.
