Yeah, because every player is judged off of one play. Mathieu is still good, but if you take your LSU homer glasses off, he is not close to Williams and he is 30 years old. Williams was paid accordingly. TM is not the player he once was, but is still a good player. Glad to have him.
Well yeah because MW is a very specific type of safety. He excels in single high. He's a master of it. But he wasn't a downhill guy and wasn't a one-on-one coverage guy. Wasn't a blitzer. That kind of thing.
TM7 kind of does it all. Jack of all trades, but master of none kind of deal. He was flexible in KC. They had him up high, they had him in two-safety looks, had him in the slot, had him blitzing. He did a variety of different things. You know who else did that? Malcolm Jenkins.
So no, he's not as good as Marcus Williams and isn't as young. But it's not the right player comp. He's a valuable piece to add to our defense because he basically does everything Jenkins did for us...but better. He's not leaps and bounds better than Jenkins but he is an upgrade.
