Our safeties just aren't very good since Nelson left.
Iloka dropped off a lot.
I'm worried by Williams and the fact he has a lengthy contract... but at least not much dead cap dollars in the future as is drops drastically.
Linebackers in coverage have always been a problem here.
That's why outside of O-Line they really need to focus on LB & FS in the upper rounds(of course DT/DE should always be looked at every draft).
We really really need a ball hawking FS. A few linebackers who can fall into coverage too.
Agree about Williams, he's no Nelson for sure. Coyle was a bad coach before and since he has come back our back end of the defense has regressed.
