Iloka was more of a field General out there Called the plays, lined everyone up, and prevented the deep ball. Yeah he didn't have the play making ability of Reggie or Bates but he did his job quite well.
We should be talking about moving Williams to LB in Nickle not cutting Iloka.
You have a lot of things backwards Jake. First off, Reggie even said he played better here cause it was in more of a
Free Safety role. Why do you think he was the jack of all trades and George was not? He was the FS and George was
the younger big Safety you could not throw over the top of. George sure wasn't the field General calling the plays out
there. Get out of here with that man, George was young and the team thought he could take the next step and be
the field General, he could not plain and simple and fell off a cliff trying to do so.
Bates is much more instinctual, Fej can do what Iloka did if we need it and is our ST's captain. Brandon Wilson has
just been making plays at Safety all Offseason and Training Camp. We are good at Safety especially since we have
Shaw who is our swiss army knife back there and Shawn who i am sure will still play Nickel LB at times.
