Iloka may have recovered but I thought Williams looked straight up terrible.
Dude got a new contract and instead looked like he should be a back up at best.
I'd be pissed if he ends up starting just because of the contract.
His spot should be up for competition if he is not performing.
Blowing coverage/missing tackles/bad angles/and fumbling an interception are what he achieved last season.
I would not be upset at all if a decent safety was drafted this season even later just for competition's sake.
No, I'm not kidding actually. I think they both got better as the season progressed. Williams put up solid individual numbers, he made plays (3 INTs, 5 PDs, a sack), his PFF rating wasn't bad, and the pass defense was one of the strengths of the teams last year.
Was it a great season? Nah, but people exaggerate the piss out of how bad it was, IMO.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
