Is it ok if he tells the media, hey, I'm just a cornerback, trying to tackle the best running back in the league, nothing I could do about it. IMO, no way. I don't think he'd get blamed for not making the tackle, but still, you always have a chance.
As far as that huge cussion goes. I'm really don't think that anyone knows for sure if Williams is telling him to do that, or if he does that by himself. djnemo65 wrote "Williams went out of his way to say that Rogers had not been coached to give up the huge cushion he was giving." Talking about after the Carolina game. So, I don't know that answer. Djnemo65, where did you hear that?

I think it is by Williams' design that they give that huge cushion. But to your point, it is disturbing to hear a defender respond like that about not making plays.
