I guess Williams star got tarnished for me when he first couldn't find a way to implement Arrington (pre and post injury) and stubbornly stuck with stiffs like Warrick Holdman and also how he completely misjudged Pierce and we let him go to a division rival where he has owned us. He just seemed to be more hype than anything. His defenses never excelled in two key areas I judge a defense on, sacks and turnovers. The bend but don't break philosophy he (and Blache for that matter) employs is a recipe for disappointment in close games or vs. elite offenses.

Nice post Pain . As far as Arrington , very few coaches could get much out of him , he has made the comments that M. Lewis / Paterno did not know how to use him , yet they both have repeatedly gotten great production from far less talented men at LB over many years . I just hope like hell we sack Eli 5 or 6 times and pick him off as we stomp them on opening day !
