Gregg Williams Has Some Explaining to Do!

His "schemes" have been torched for 36 points 2 out of the last 3 games and seem to give up big play after big play in all of our games.

Re: Gregg Williams Has Some Explaining to Do!

Why in the hell would you rush the passer continuously when you haven't even gotten to him once and you were getting toasted on the passing game is beyond me. I'm not saying play soft but, damn, can't you at least protect the sorry ass backup safeties we have? They were getting burned the whole game for god sake.

To be fair we got some banged up bodies on this D. However, I remember Buddy Ryan once saying that attacking type defenses always look better at the beginning of the season. As the season progresses--teams adjust and exploit the aggressive nature of the D.

G Williams is not forcing Walt Harris to play up on the WR on 3rd down plays. Harris did the same thing against Philly and missed the tackle. Carlos Rodgers has to the starter. Playing him sporadically is not good.

The tide turned in the 2nd half of the Seattle game, when Alexander starting running all over us. We were lights out the first 2 1/2 games. Since then, our defense has only shut down the Eagles, which may have had something to do with the T.O. factor.

Re: Gregg Williams Has Some Explaining to Do!

keep in mind that the offense handed them a TD. and of course there were some questionable calls. still the D is not looking good. i think that we really need some quality DLmen.

The Defensive gameplan was a gamble today....stack the box to take away the run, and hope the rookie doesn't make the big pass plays to counter the blitz. Well, that's exactly what the 3rd year rookie did...burn us each time.

Can't say it was G. Williams' fault. We were minus Griffin and Taylor, arguably two of our best defensive players. The strategy to stack the box was a good gamble to take. It's not just Harris, Rogers and Prioleau were extraordinarily average too.

Our D has got to get to Collins next week or we may see the same thing happen. Porter and Randy Moss will kill us next week if we don't get presure on Collins. I was watching the game and everytime Simms took a snap I started counting 1 thousand one..... 1 thousand two... I got to 1 thousand 4 a lot, which means Simms had too much time... Rogers, Harris, Springs, all of our secondary guys looked bad because the front four could not get any pressure.

Defense is no doubt lacking, and giving up big plays, but our offense is still crapping the bed when it comes to feild position and turnovers. How can everyone not see that?

We gave up alot of points and took points off the board because of turnovers, and yes penalties. How big of a momentum killer was that holding penality that brought back the Moss play? How big of a momentum killer was the Brunell fumble that took the chance away for 7 points?

Also don't forget we got 7 points off a KO return and 7 off a great defensive play. That knocks the offensive point total to 21.

Yes our Offense gave a few turnovers away, however we did put up 35 points against the NFLs #1 defense. I would say that whenever one scores 35 points you should win the game. Our defense gave up 36 points. I dont see the blame coming towards our offense totally responsable for the loss. Anytime you score that many points, over 95% of the time you should win. Our defense let us down yesterday, our offense let us down, and our coaching let us down with some play calling and the refs, all in all it was an all around effort to lose that game, not the offense.

My thoughts exactly! Our offense did fine but our d got smoked too often.

Re: Gregg Williams Has Some Explaining to Do!

I'm a Greg Williams fan and still am. I think his schemes are fine but teams are catching on and more importantly he's missing some talent.

But I was upset at the D on the final drive yesterday. There's 1 minute left, they have no timeouts, a rookie QB and 40+ yards to cover. It's criminal to give up the deep pass there. We hadn't gotten pressure all day despite the blitzes. Plus our secondary was a disaster all game. Why gamble and leave the game in the hands of Prioleau or Harris or whoever? As soon as I saw our blitz picked up and the ball in the air I knew we were dead. We are that weak back there.

Why give Simms an out by completing one long pass? Give the guy the short dumpoffs, let the clock run and let's see if he can march all the way to the end zone. Plus by giving him the small stuff you are slowly shrinking the field on him making things tougher and tougher. The previous series they drove the ball all the way to our 10 before stalling. Part of the reason they stalled was the shorter field deep in our zone.

A VERY disappointing day from the D yesterday.
