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.  

Think back to last year.  How often did Iloka blow coverage?  That seems telling. 

This year figured to have a learning curve.  But I have kinda thought if Smith got his chance, he might really run with it.  Smith has play maker in him, I believe.  I hope Williams improves but if he doesn't I hope the leash isn't long on him.  At least we seem to have an option if we need it. 

Also, how spoiled have we been with Reggie back there?
