We should have won another SB in 2011 if it wasn't for the 5 turnover fluke against the 49ers.

Greg Williams just knows how to coach his players and put them in the right spots; something we have not been able to do since.

GW played to guys strengths, he knew Harper was no good in coverage so he kept him in the box.
He also knew that we did not have the talent to get pressure with 4 guys, so he sent 6 everytime and kept everyone in man coverage.

All the players loved GW.
