Yep. I guess you could say that my indifference on Iloka has more to do with my confidence in Shawn Williams than anything else.
Williams showed a lot in those 4 games.

It took a long time for Marvin to finally draft a safety that would work out, his 10th to be exact. We had misses with guys like Madieu, Marvin (Whiff) White, Ndukwe, Corey Lynch, and Robert Sands. While I understand that Shawn Williams stepped up when Iloka went down, I'd prefer a duo of Iloka/Williams over Nelson/Williams just from the long term stand point. Nelson does not have much time left in this league. Then we're back to Williams/? as our safety duo.
Josh Shaw might be an answer, but he seems to be playing well at CB for us. Derron Lee is another option and he was considered a steal for us. Are you ready to roll with them? Feel like Marvin and Co. can draft an Iloka/Nelson replacement?
Also, with the cap being projected to increase by $12 million, we pretty much have no reason to not re-sign these guys. If they leave, then I'm guessing they want a change of scenery.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.
