Yes - you are rite - if you are trying to convince me that we have the rite guy in charge of our Defense I will NEVER EVER agree with you

Like I said,you have Blinders on.. I appreciate you agreeing with me.
Although, asking Williams and Josh Wilson to apply double team on one guy and prevent anything less then a TD is TO MUCH?
They are professional athletes.. You're paying them to cover, and they failed at that. What else can you do in that situation? Prevent D with 3 safeties over top? Then what? Hope for a FG, and win the toss, and the HOPE that Eli doesn't march down the field and score a TD? Win the game on luck?
You have to put faith in the players on the field. You can't call situational play calls because you are afraid of someone you have on the field. That's just lunacy.
