That would lead me to deduce that Williams is unwilling to take any additional risk with out having Springs and Harris healthy. The other side of this assessment is that after Rodgers we are weak enough at CB that Williams dosent feel he has the flexibilty to gamble.

I have thought our recent weakness to the big play has been due to having Springs and/or Harris out for the past three weeks. It will be very interesting to see if when they are both healthy how we fair vs the big play. If I had to guess, LA's playing time will follow our CB's health until he get more discipline.

BTW- LA showed an attitide far different even from the begining of the year on the John Thompsen show. Props to LA for maturing.

Makes perfect sense to me. Having Springs back will give us a big lift..not to mention Clark as well. Once our secondary is healthy again, then I can definitely understand taking some chances at LB.

Funny, but for all the newly acquired Gregg Williams haters, take away those three big plays and look how solid this defense has been WITHOUT Lavar Arrington.

Good defense but 2 losses in a row as the offense is playing better..they never gave up big plays last year... Solid yeah but teams are making bigger plays each week... they have no qb pressure whatso ever.... isn't that how he made his name???? Qb's have all day back there... we haven't seen any great qb's wait till u see the Mc Nabb's and Mannings and such you give those boys all day back there they will eat ur A_s Alive... your secondary just cant cover that long...but i will give those incredible Lb's a positive they are in their proper spots... and they are there on on the ground as they run by their butts too!!! I wanna see some folks run over Lavar.... yeah right!!!!!

I agree but you have to remember with those two losses the O gave up 4 Turn overs 2 in our red zone. Teams did make some big plays on us last year (remember that Dallas Game).
