Junior? Give the boy a shot? But I'll bet Smith has more gap discipline and better outside contain than both Junior or Tez, but that might be just coincidence since ol' Willie is obviously slower and just can't move anymore.

Tell ya what: Switch the roles of Will and Tez/Junior plus the roles of Ellis with Walker/Johnson. Why not? They'd certainly bring more fire and excitement. They'd also bring more penalties and mental mistakes, but I could live with that considering the lethargy and apathy that our defense is playing with now. Let the kids have a bigger role.

If that actually gets done but fails miserably, I'll gladly eat crow for that. Just some passion on the D side would be nice to see. The incentive of a larger pay day for the kids is a bigger incentive for them to produce than trying to get the multi-millionaires Smith and Ellis to exert themselves for jack-squat.

FYI...thinking Ellis is ready to run for Seattle in the offseason to rejoin his USC roots, and I'd be extremely shocked to see much of anything out of this @$$clown the rest of year. He has more than clocked out just judging by these last 2 games, and I ain't talking stats (even moderately effective DT's don't show up too much on the stat sheet).
