Never with any combination along with Williams. Just watch the last two preseasons games. Iloka was all over the place making tackles breaking up passes. Williams was and is nowhere to be found. Hasn't made a play yet.

Very rarely do I remember people slamming Iloka like they are now on this board.

Don't be surprised if Iloka is a probowl player at his next stop. Someone will play him at his right position.

Sorry i found Iloka looking slow out there.. he has been on a regression for three years.. i think just turned 30.. i feel he lost a step, they drafted Bates for a reason, to replace a safety.. performance, cap hit, age and maybe where Bates looked the best [ strong safety] they made the decision.  As i stated before. the one trend over the last few years has been moving to youth and speed.  I think the article today points that out well.
