Coyle's secondary...back to the days of Bresh?

Lapham was on the radio and was discussing this subject and he pointed at Shawn Williams as the culprit in each of these instances.  I can't help but wonder if right now Derron Smith is a better option when having the safety playing center field.  Williams may be more physical, but Smith looks better in coverage and has better ball skills.  

My guess is they will live and die with Williams and just hope he improves, but Lap pointed out scores in the Jets game, the pitt game, and the broncos game that were on Williams.  That isn't a positive trend.  I don't know if he was at fault with the Dolphins game.
