Not to mention, that leaves Williams to cover the middle of the field alone. That would explain Desean Jackson running by himself with Williams chasing him after he beat Crawley. It was probably a Cover 3 with Williams rolling over from Lattimore's side to Crawley's. You've got to have a specific kind of safety to run that defense efficiently. Earl Thomas comes to mind.

Edit Post:

I went and looked at the first Desean Jackson TD. It definitely looked like Cover 3. Williams was the single high safety and Jackson was working out of the slot. That's the weak spot of the Cover 3...the seams. Williams took too long to come over trying to worry about the whole field, which pretty much reassures me he's not a center fielder. Crawley should have been back as well in position to get an interception, but he was busy worried about the man on the outside. Seems to me like not only are people not doing their jobs, but they're running defenses that don't fit the skill set of the personnel.
SP is notorious for trying to copy other successful defenses systems. Same thing happened a few years ago when Seattle was so dangerous. He wanted his defense to look like Seattle’s and said screw the personnel. He loves a square in a round hole. Maybe he needs to let Allen just do his job. Our defense was fine last year and I doubt it was Allen’s idea to change things. People who want to keep their jobs don’t go around completely changing things that they just started getting right.
