You know what play call he is calling, you have the chance to override him, I would have immediately called a timeout to talk things out with Williams and tell him by no means is someone to get past our defenders on a big play. Just keep everything in front of us and the clock will run out on them.
I don't see how Payton let him go through with that horrendous play call.

Shanle was in single coverage on Davis. Harper was the safety trying to get over to help Shanle who gave Davis a 5 yard cushion then started back peddling as Davis ran right by him. I am ok with our DBs but our LBs are the weak link. Regardless GW should not have put tem in single man coverage on Davis.
Offense redeemed themselves, that last set of defensive play calls was our kill-shot, he needs to go, you don't get second chances to hold on to a lead in the game of your life
What's worse about the Davis catches is they were simple toss it up and hope it lands in your hands. Up for grabs for anyone but none of our Saints to make a play.
Jenkins is no free safety. He may hit like one but he does not have the vision or instincts to be a field general.

I said it when he was coming out of college - Jenkins seems like a great person so it sucks to say, but his play has been exaggerated. He's an average safety at best. That said, its your DC's job to know that and to play to win. You don't put "that" guy on their best guy, particularly in that situation, when your guy has already lost that match-up throughout the day.
On that last possession, we should've been playing zone and keeping everything in front of us, since there was only 132 seconds, and they only had 1 timeout. Playing man-to-man was a mistake.
Especially because alex smith was going to blow 25 seconds between plays trying to figure out what he was doing
Need someone to explain why Harper was where he was on the last td
If you're gonna live or die with blitz why not have Harper blitz
#1 on sacks and weak on coverage
Seems backwards to me
How greg williams leaves Davis singled with 4.3 speed with our safeties REPEATEDLY is beyond me.
I still love gw williams but i hope that this was a learning experience for him. Double or even tripple Davis and we win. I just cant believe that he allowed this.
