Discussing the idea of Gregg Williams coming back is a waste of time. He's not and many of us were beyond thrilled for him to leave after his shitty defense couldn't produce pressure or turnovers. Then add all the bounty crap.

Who knows how Spags could have been. He didn't get a very fair shake in his one year during a very tumultuous season. But he still sucks now so I would say it would be about the same.

Dennis Allen is well regarded in this league and I am curious to see if the D will go about a new look with his leadership. He has a 6 game audition.

One question I do have is why did we go away from a 3-4 to a 4-3? Were't we primarily a 3-4 in Ryan's first season? What changed?

Gregg Williams was a great D coordinator. Always has been. We didn't have great players, but he did the best with what he had. He brought pressure and got beat by it a lot because we had some crappy players.

We were 26th in defense under Gibbs in 2008, then went to 20th, 7th & 13th under Williams. Then we fired him and went to 31st. Bye the way, check out one of the rosters he had to work with. Williams did a good job.

He's known as an up and coming type of coach, but had some bad stints in Denver and Oakland. He doesn't have much to work with. We just need better players.
