. Its proven you put him in the right situation he will be effective. Going with a former coach will help i'm sure.

Well that didn't work in Dallas either. Dave Campo was the coach that originally drafted Williams in Dallas and for the last 2 seasons was actually his secondary coach. And that reunion did nothing to help RW's liabilities in coverage.

Williams simply had to get out of the 3-4 defensive scheme, and when Dallas switched to the 3-4 under Parcells, is when RW really declined in production. He also started falling off when Darren Woodson retired.

Now that he is in a 4-3, he will do better. With 4 linemen up front creating space for him to attack the line of scrimmage, he will do well against the run. In a 3-4, many times the OLB has to drop of into the flats and that left RW having to take on Guards, Tackles and Fullbacks one-on-one and he got owned. He's just too small to be a LB and too big to be a CB or Safety.
