I just finished saying that he was good at the line of scrimmage. But that's not where any DB is supposed to spend the majority of his snaps playing at. That leaves a hole downfield at all times, hoping that he gets to the quarterback. It worked for a year. Then we started getting burned and our pass rush was non existent. That's why Williams was fired, and that's why Harper had to go. I only wish they had found a better option sooner.
