I'm thinking we should add another Safety, then use Williams at LB

Considering many teams play 3 safeties at some point there are more than 64 safeties in the ranking so you can assume he is an above average starter just from the rank not even the above average grade.

The hate for the guy is really uncalled for, not necessary you but others here. I remember when everyone wanted Fej to replace him after one big play in Indy...only for Williams to have multiple big plays down the stretch. He is fine, and we have much bigger needs to fill. 

Fej made one big play?  He had 10 tackles with 9 being solo tackles, the FF, and the TD.  Yes, one play was very big, but he made a lot of contributions in a game he didn't even start or expect to start.  

I am not hating the guy, but his PFF ranking doesn't seem to properly address his coverage issues.  I'm sure there is some stat wiz out there that can find the completion % to his guy, and I would imagine it would be high.  He also has a lot of tackling issues in space.  He has made some big plays, but often seems late to diagnose.  Maybe he will look different under a new coach and a new scheme.  I have always our secondary a bit of a pass due to our severe lack of pass rush.

I just think that at his age, and his history, it would be prudent to try and upgrade the position.  I thought Iloka was the better of the two, and Bates did a fine job filling in for him.
