Marcus Williams is one BAD dude! Best Safety in NFL

Ok, so I watched the play at .25 speed on youtube. In doing so, it's clear, Marcus DID NOT take a bad angle or put his head down and whiff. What did happen was DK pumped the brakes and did a little fake juke to the inside which caused Marcus to freeze because if DK had cut inside of him he would of been gone also.

This is simply a very hard tackle to make coming from across the field and to multiply the complexity of it, you have a WR built like Derrick Henry with 4.3 speed.

Had DK kept running in a straight line, without the fake, Marcus is in position to make the tackle...and I believe he would have in that case.

His angle was great, but immediately after DK made the cut back to the right, Williams definitely puts his head down and barely gets his left hand on DK’s left leg. If his head was up and still only barely got that little of Metcalf’s leg then that’s even worse.

The “freeze” you’re mentioning definitely creates more situation than DK should’ve had but again, it goes back to trying to force a big play when one wasn’t needed. I understand DK is an absolute specimen of a human being and Marcus isn’t exactly the biggest safety around, but when they were about to meet, Metcalf is at the edge of the hashmark on the sideline which is only 2’ and change from the sideline. He didn’t need to be blasted to get knocked out of bounds. Again, that close to the sideline, wrapping him up would’ve gotten him down or at least off balance enough to step out of bounds and the TD is saved.

Check the article in the OP.
