Sure, Iloka and Williams are serviceable when used in a relatively conservative fashion, but you won't field an elite defense that way imo.
Another reason I think it is a need is that Iloka and Smith seem to refuse to tackle. They throw themselves around going for the big hit, which is nice every now and then. But they've missed some crucial tackles doing that.
And finally, they're just injured too much (specifically Williams). We need more consistency in the secondary.
1. Since Marvin got here he has always used his safeties as interchangeable. He wants hard hitters. We have hard hitters and tone setters.
2. Tone setters aren’t making conservative wrap up tackles. It’s not the style they were drafted to play.
3. Injuries happen.
Your complaints are more about scheme and style of play instead of these players. We just don’t play the boring conservative defense that you seem to want to play. No new safety will ever please you because we just play a style of defense that you don’t seem to want to watch. Dallas plays that awful and boring Tampa 2 so maybe that would be better for you to enjoy.
