hahaha I forgot about how bad Bartee was at NOT getting his head around.

He actually always had GREAT position but simply could not turn his head around to make a play on the ball. It was a really odd thing to watch week after week when he'd be sticky as hell on his man but his ability to simply turn his head meant his dude was always catching the ball.

I still think we should trade for a corner even if it's just depth

He could have been a superb safety. He really was pretty good in coverage.

Williams had a stretch last year, including the playoffs, where he was flat out dominant.

HE WAS! That was the deal - he could stick to his man like glute but literally just couldn't get his head around.

Coulda been a true lockdown corner had he learned how to do that

I confess I haven’t spent much time actually watching Williams, but PFR says he’s allowed a 75% completion rate and a 128 passer rating so far this season. Only been in targeted like 5 times though.

It’s what makes me even more appreciative of Spags…that time period where we drafted a few safeties to play corner was hard to watch.

Even when Warfield was an ok corner, I’ll always wonder how good of a safety he could have been.

Bartee and Warfiekd should have both been safeties for us.

They actually did move him back to safety after they signed ty law but he got hurt and that was it

IMO he's been lost in the scheme more than lost on the field. He's capable but his first big one last week he came down on a route that someone else (Reid?) was on and left his guy to run deep.

PG thinks every player is a damn star. I caught him saying Wanya was playing great

IIRC, I said that Wanya and Thuney were handling their side of the line really well together in the videos posted (especially on stunts), mainly because they were.

I'm not saying Williams is a star, but he had a stretch last year where was damn good. I'd try to track down stats to support that assertion, but you don't seem a bit concerned with accuracy, data, or reality anyway.

He was pretty good last year and better than his rookie year. He's been pretty terrible this year. One snap against the Bengals or Chargers was just ugly, cant remember. Not sure what it is but he looks clumsy, easily manipulated, and ill-disciplined.

Maybe he'll lock in with more snaps and step up, there's enough to suggest he can play a lot better. Doesn't mean he will.

Nazeeh Johnson played 90% of the snaps against Denver and 100% of the snaps against The Bills.

Williams played 6% against Denver and had ZERO snaps against Buffalo.

Love Spags but what the feck is going on? Johnson is 26 years old, is coming off an ACL injury and has never played much minutes before in the NFL and now after one good camp two years ago he's suddenly starting over Williams who's played in AFC championships and Superbowls?

I'm not saying Joshua is a world beater or anything. But he's clearly more competent than Johnson fgs.

Williams has shown he’s great in man and blows critical assignments in zone coverage.

It’s like Wayna and Kingsley, where the magnitude of one of Williams’ mistakes could lead to a TD, where Nazeeh might be worse in man but is less likely to make a mistake that’ll lead to 6 on a particular play.

Our HOF-worthy DC obviously feels different.

I choose him over you.

Williams hasn't been giving up TD's when he plays.
