Considering moving Springs to safety...

[12thMan]

I think Rogers will be okay. I think there was a serious breakdwon in our coaching this year, I don't care what anyone says. If you have one guy down, and your defense can't adjust, that's a coaching and a scheming issue to me.

On a lot of the big plays we gave up this year, it seems that guys were constantly way out of position or nowhere near the ball. Taylor was often chasing people down from behind, when Archuletta did play, he was typically pursuing from behind, same with Rogers. I just refuse to believe that this group of talented guys have fallen off that much in, what, two years.

That being said, I'll put those dropped interceptions squarely on Rogers. But even still, I don't feel like they utilized him to the best of his ability. For instance, why do you play a guy with his speed that far off the receiver? Why not develop that shutdown mentality?

My only knock on Williams is that it seems like he played it safe all year long and it killed us. Getting turnovers are a result of letting guys play and taking risks. For all the good things Gregg Williams has done and for all the praise he gets, it just seems that one elment, the turnover factor, has seemed to be missing since he arrived here.
