Are 21 and 31 over-rated?

With that said, I think those two players are over-rated. The media and fans have gotten into their heads and made them think HARDEST HIT = WIN.

I see that both players get burnned, and when you are somone of Taylor's and Williams talent it shouldn't happen to you that badly.

I mean the game against the Jaguars Taylor put a vicious hit on the receiver but the guy still held on to the ball for a TD. In the game against the Eagles Williams gave up two huge plays because he is looking for the big hit.

My question then, are they really over-rated or are they playing the wrong positions?

I've been a supporter of moving Taylor to SS in which case getting Adam was a bad move. To me, Taylor is almost a LB and like Chicago converting Erlacker (sp), we should at a min. move Taylor to SS where he can lay the wood. Take Vincent if he has the speed, or Rogers if Knight starts or Knight is Rogers starts, and move them to FS.

CB - Spring
CB - Roger/Knight
SS - Taylor
FS - Knight/Rogers

Then you have Ruff, and Vincent for dime and nickel packages.

DE-Wynn - Carter on 3rd or rushing downs
DT-Grif
DT-Salava
DE-Daniels

LB - Marcus
LB - Marshall
LB - McIntosh/Campbell

You could even line up Taylor as an LB and bring in Adam on all out blitz packages. Offenses would be freaked seeing that line up.

This defensive line up feels a lot better to me then what we have seen.
