I think this is more on Sam Williams than Quinn. I would think Quinn would love to see Williams on the field more with his athletic ability. Coaches must not trust Williams. I wish they did. We are going to need Williams to step up during the playoffs.
Losing LVE and Diggs may have hurt his vision for this defense and he just can't get the safeties to play at the level they were playing at last season. I wonder how he adjusts the rest of the way?.....I've been disappointed in Dan Quinn's decisions this year. Our Defense has given up huge points throughout the season and also been most responsible during our 3 losses. Like you mentioned, Dan Quinn should have been working on these packages all season to where our Defense should be hitting its peak this late in the season. Instead, it's the opposite. Still guessing.
Agreed! It's so obvious losing LVE and Diggs has affected Dan Quinn. Our Safeties have been horrible. Hard to believe they were playing lights out our previous 2 seasons. Hope Dan Quinn figures how to fix this. Tough 4 opponents coming up.
If they didnt trust him, they wouldn't be playing him at all. They have enough talent at DE to not have to play him if they don't trust him
I agree. You can have him getting after the QB with Micah and use Sam off the edge and Micah up the middle vice versa. Potentially. We've seen a flash or two here. But I don't think he's earned the trust yet. Sam needs to step up his focus level. But it's also a seniority thing. He has to beat those guys out.. Armstrong, Fowler, Osa, Mazi Smith.. Like, he can't just come in and be an athlete. He has to outplay them. And really want to understand the game. I'm not sure if he has the interest or just likes the B movie fame.
Against the 49ers this year and last season's playoffs, Sam Williams created pressure at times. More than our veteran D-linemen other than DeMarcus Lawrence. Sam has the body, quickness and strength to do damage against bigger Olines like the 49ers and Eagles have. Dan Quinn needs to get Sam Williams more involved against them tougher teams.
Parsons is out?
I hate that too...
this is what SOME posters don't understand. Its very simple. Exactly what u said. In this league, its about trust.
Problem with it is. He can’t defend the run. So you’re taking Lawrence on the field who’s probably a top 3 DE in run support.Like @darthseinfeld mentioned,
Sam Williams has 3 sacks in the last 5 games. That is second only to Micah's 5 sacks.
Posters ask, "Who do you sit down just to give Sam Williams more playing time?" As if choosing to play Sam Williams more is only a personal opinion over the other players currently getting more snaps? Well, which other players (other than Micah) getting more snaps currently has accumulated more sacks in the last 5 games than Sam Williams?
So y'all tell me who is the one making decisions based on personal preference? Me or you?
I'm just saying, based on current performance, Sam Williams deserves more playing time. Take plays away from those veterans who are not producing sacks as well in the last 5 games as Sam Williams has on a very limited role. The key is to get the most producing players on the field, especially against these next very tough 4 opponents, is it not?
Hmm, Sam Williams has always been good against the run. One of our best LB run defenders...
Meh, I meant LVE..
Who do you bench more to get him reps? Better questionDoh! A double negative! This is what happens when I'm being bothered by 3 - 5 different people by texts at the same time I'm trying to post on here.
Thanks for reminding me of my mistake bro.
Can a Mod please correct the double negative in my opening post's question?
