Gibbs or GW should have put a stop to that immediately - that is purely a coaching problem, not a player problem.

A valid point. The problem is that meeting together might help the communication and avoid blown coverages, but it's not going to make Rogers or Wright better athletes or give them better instincts. As for Taylor, I don't think he's played as badly as all that. He doesn't look 100% healthy to me which has nothing to do with scheme.

Ultimately Williams is responsible for the defense. It's his. He owns it. But, I don't buy the argument that his personality is causing the problem. That's just whining from someone who's lack of ability is most likely the real culprit.
