I'm sure Williams is a fine defensive coach, but the calls in the last 5 minutes were terrible. Vernon Davis is their best weapon, really their only weapon, and you have to double him. No safety, no matter how good can single cover him.

The problem is that Williams had no counter punch, by design he does not have the DE's you need to get pressure with 4 so he can't/won't play coverage and rush only 4. When he does, a QB has all day long to throw and can find openings in the zone.

But, regardless of why it seems fairly clear that the defense has regressed since 2009. That may be because the scheme, because we don't have the players to run it or because other teams have figured it out. But, regardless of the reason, it may be time for a change.
