People are so worried about losing Iloka, but I think Shawn Williams looked great when he had to step in for 4 games. Did anyone really notice that Iloka was out? I sure didn't.
That said, I wouldn't mind keeping Iloka and sliding Williams over to Nelson's spot. That may be the best option as I think Williams has good potential to be a real ball hawk. It's so tough to let Nelson go though. I mean, we're talking about a dude that had nearly half of our INT's and is a leader for this defense.
33 or not, that's going to be a big loss. A bigger loss than Iloka would be, IMO. I understand the age difference, but still.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
