Im going to be honest, if Williams is left in next time we face that situation, Zimmer does need to go. Jones should be deep, with Williams roaming around in the flats or blitzing. Roy Williams should not be in that position again. Use a corner, sign a Safety. I don't care, but do something. Because I promise you other teams will attack that weakness. They will come in planning on attacking Roy Williams in coverage.

Dick LeBeau is an experienced and creative 3-4 DC who lives to destroy the opponent's passing game. Mike Zimmer is a bend-don't-break 4-3 guy.

Zimmer is from the same school of thought that had Deion Sanders covering the TE while a LB covers Jerry Rice all because Rice lines up in the slot and the scheme says the CB must remain outside. No thoughts of creating defensive mismatches whatsoever.

This is an assinine statement. If you watch that game Roy Williams was fine in coverage and made one mistake (if you can call it that) when he didn't hold onto that interception. If he holds onto that ball, people would be enshrining the guy. Williams is catching flak from mediots for being famous, not for being unable to do his job.

Williams wishes his team had the supporting pass rush or DC of the Dawkins' Eagles, the Palamalu's Steelers, or Reed's Ravens.

Zimmer is left with the opposing offensive team dictating to him where players such as Roy are lined up on crucial plays........whereas Pitt/labuea dictate to the offense by moving Troy P all over heck
