Marcus Williams. Starting to get old.

The premise of this thread is valid, yet... I will say, more than most positions on Defense, when Marcus has a bad play/day... it's very visible because of where he plays and the deep areas he is responsible for... so when he messes up / has a bad play... it's magnified by the fact that it's like 30 yards or more downfield.

From what I have seen with Marcus... He's made some bad choices in coverage, and has shown some indecision (or late recognition) that has cost us some big plays and has left our CBs out to dry (and it's not just this year, it was last year too). His tackling, has never been great, but that was never a strong suit for him. His strong suit has been his ability to cover ground with the ball in the air, and high point passes away from would be WRs...

You still see times when he does that... yet... you also see times when he jumps the underneath crosser, and leaves his wide side outside CB one on one with the best WR in the NFL on a go route...

It's maddening, and you have to ask... Is he doing this type of thing because of the single high man defense he's playing dictates he does this? Or is he freelancing and losing a gamble?

It's probably a bit of both, but clearly we are playing an aggressive scheme ... and Marcus has been feast or famine in it... and it's super visible / consequential in either outcome.
