Defensive Failures: Scheme or Players?

I know I'm gonna hear about how you shouldn't have to be taught that in the NFL, but does anyone think that's a reflection of the coaching staff. I mean, how many piss poor defense in this league can you say are well coached? It can't all be the players. I don't know if that's they tuned Williams out or what, but one thing that bothers me is his "doghouse." That's bs. I don't like all this, "I don't trust him so he won't see the field." Now, I hate Adam Archuletta, like really hate him, like ever since he was in St. Louis hated him. I gave the Skins the benefit of the doubt when they signed him, but I was fuckin right, that was a terrible signing. Anyway, he may have had a point. I mean, we hear a lot of the same things from him that LaVar was saying when he was getting yanked last year. That bothers me a lot.

And as for the players...Gregg Williams pretty much calls the shots on who is signed to play defense for this team, so that seems to be a direct reflection of him as well.
