The thing that's always bothered me about Williams' system is the almost total reliance on the secondary and linebackers for the pass rush. I know it all seemed to work fine in 2004, and to a lesser extent in '05.

The problem is that if your secondary isn't as talented or suffers from significant injuries, your pass rush goes to hell if the defensive line can't pick up the slack. That's why I continue to say that no matter the sophistication of a particular defense, you still have to be at least better than average along the front four.

Until they make some upgrades, even with Landry and Fletcher I think we could be in trouble.
