I seem to remember Williams's defense being sort of a one trick pony.

They couldn't stop Hasselbeck or Lynch in the playoffs - 41pts
They couldn't stop Alex Smith or Davis in the playoffs - 36pts

The blitz became predictable and ineffective after the 2010 Superbowl.
Not sure how they were ineffective when they were ranked 4th in the NFL...

Those were some of the least talented defenses the Saints have had in the last few decades, Williams deserves more credit then what you are giving him.
