Let's wait and see how things play out. He certainly has a great attitude and is itching to get on the field at any cost, much like Smoot.

"A better fit for this defense" is the operative phrase. Smoot is a good cover guy, but Williams wants guys that can stuff the run and crush the QB. Rogers will probably be more suited to do that. Also, look at Trotter. He sucked for us, Williams let him go. But he was good with the Eagles. Why? The system. And look how we did at MLB last year. Pretty good. Williams knows who he wants for "HIS" defense, and has proven nearly infalible on his decisions regarding personell. If Williams is fine with losing Smoot, as well as Pierce, I can't understand why we can't trust that after what he has proven. Also, I can see why he didn't want Trotter. After seeing him interviewed, I realized this was not a card carrying member of MENSA by any stretch. He is very one dimensional. Williams likes brains and speed at the MLB position.
