Obviously our guys are still thinking out there instead of just playing. Maybe it's time to simplify things, Greg.

This.

Fisher's insistence on employing people he has a history with is biting this team in the arse. From Finnegan to Cook to Williams to Schotty... And so on.
It isn't just Williams. It's Fisher's inability to coach a team since he's been back in the NFL. He has to be fired after this year. That part sucks but it's true. Clean house on coaches, keep Snead if we can.
It's been 2 years and 5 games. Can we PLEASE get a little real here?U can't deny the talent...where's the development

I completely 100% disagree with this. He needs 5 years to turn around the dumpster fire he inherited. This win't fantasy football.
So if I read you right, Williams is doing for our defense what Josh McDaniels did for our offense...I think Williams wants to prove that he's the smartest guy in the room and out-thinks himself. I also think he's too aggressive.
This defense doesn't need 6-8 blitzers on nearly every down. Run press coverage on the outside(with some off man and zone) and mix up the coverages with zone and man over the middle to keep the QB on his toes. Bring a 5th blitzer on a decent amount of downs with a 6th blitzer every now and then. Run stunts up-front in obvious passing situations with a blitzer or two thrown in rather than trying to bring the house.
This DL doesn't need you to overload the offense. By doing so, you just open up the middle of the field. Keep our defenders in the middle, saturate it, trust the CBs on the outside who are playing well(aside from Jenkins this week) and let our guys on the DL get it done.
Most of all, though, tell Robert Quinn to stop trying to speed rush on every down. He needs to vary his pass rush moves.
Williams is just not scheming to take advantage of our talent. He's trying to stick a square peg in a round hole.

I'm scared now...
There were also reports that Fisher getting involved is the reason for the 10-15 yard cushions from the dbs. You hired the guy to do a job, let him do it.There were reports that Fisher took over the defense when Walton's system wasn't working. Why can't he do the same with Williams?
I agree.I think Williams wants to prove that he's the smartest guy in the room and out-thinks himself. I also think he's too aggressive.

(On the defense allowing big plays)
“We have to play the defenses that are called. I sound like a broken record but we have to play what we call. We have to execute the defense. It’s definitely not the scheme. We just have to execute. That’s all I can really say. We have the guys in here and the guys know it, but for some reason we aren’t putting together full games and until we do that we are going to keep getting the same results. Teams are too good to not do what you need to do every single time. We just have to execute.”
This tells me certain players aren't grasping this defense. GW has been known for complicated defenses. Obviously our guys are still thinking out there instead of just playing. Maybe it's time to simplify things, Greg.
