Re: Bounce-back third year earns Marcus Williams a spot among top 40 NFL players

Just my straight forward observation on Marcus ...

He has bad situational awareness & is a poor tackler. As a SAFETY, you must be very good in this area. This is 3 years in the Saints defensive system. I've seen enough games to say his range is good. My greatest fear is that this young guy goes elsewhere and balls like M Jenkins did.

But to B&G's point, he's not clutch (see Thielan catch when he was late) when you have to be clutch.

Dennis Allen? Aaron Glenn ? ... not "coaching him up" perhaps?

I'm just seriously disappointed in his overall play. I don't think he's a very good center fielder and is almost always late to the play where he misses the tackle.

Allen needs to be fired. I cannot believe Saints fans still defend him. It's why I say repeatedly - the non-call and other bad calls or non-calls are just a shiny object waved in front of your face. The biggest issue is the guy calling the defense that always craps themselves in crunch time. Payton also deserves criticism for some of his poor game planning, and especially Brees for his poor play in the playoffs the last 3 years.

Spags has 2 rings now. If anyone wants to reply to that with "but he coached the worst defense ever!", and so did Allen! The 2015 Saints broke records of the 2012 team. The 2016 defense gave up more pass TDs than the 2012 team.

We have the talent, we just have a mediocre coach on defense. If they had a better coach, the potential is there for them to be dominant. We saw that in 2018 and in brief parts of 2017 and 2019.
