It’s often harder to diagnose blown assignments when players are in zone coverages, especially zones as complicated as the coverages Spags’ rolls out. Spags shown he values knowledge of his assignments more than anything (it was always rumored that this was why Willie didn’t see the field as much as we thought he would). Even Bolton had to wait a while before he saw the field for this reason. [Reply]
Johnson was pretty sticky at least in the early part of the game. They may feel like he's close to turning a corner with more reps and an adjustment to game speed. Williams has looked like hot garbage in his limited time at corner this year. [Reply]

Spags may need to adapt then because Johnson is a sitting duck out there and Williams is not getting exposed like he is. He played 100% of the snaps against The Bucs and wasn't picked on at all. [Reply]

This is nonsense. Johnson is trash and is getting picked on constantly. Williams hasn't given up a TD in ages. [Reply]

Yes, but it's not like Johnson has been playing at some level well below Williams. Or even clearly below Williams.
At this point they may like the Johnson upside more or think he's very deserving of at least a shot whereas they know what they have in Williams. And they - like most of us - haven't seen anything very good. [Reply]

Show me a game this season or even last season where Williams was picked on? Can he get beat on a play? Sure. Can he give up a dumb penalty? Sure. But the guy doesn't give up TD's these days and he doesn't get picked on. The danger signs are there for Johnson. I just hope Spags sees them. [Reply]

Williams had no idea what his role was. He probably wasn't credited with the touchdown because he was so far away from where he was supposed to be. Re-watch when Watson went down, ****ing hell he was bad. Bit on fakes, ran to the flats letting WR run free. Several plays were given up with Bolton and Reid trying to cover for Williams being out of shape. I specifcally remember a Williams Tranquil hand off that was wrong. Williams took the wrong guy after tranquil was yelling at him pre snap. Tranquil was way behind because he had to chase his guy down late.
Much like Sorenson they'd prefer the guy in the right spot who's more limited to the guy who's more athletic but cant get on the right guy. See Willie Gay/ Drue Tranquil. [Reply]

Once again this is nonsense imo. The only guy picked on after Watson went down was Johnson. He gave up big plays downfield to allow the Niners to score late. I asked a question yet no-one is prepared to answer it. Show me where Williams has been picked on or given up a TD in recent times? You can waffle on about coverages all day long. But the guy isn't costing us points like Johnson. Fullstop. [Reply]

And I said Williams wasn't even in position to give up the touchdown because he had no idea where to be. They both ****ing suck dude. Your asking to replace why Bartee isn't playing over Kendrick Lewis. One gives up the play at the point of attack. The other is on the wrong side of the field.
It's like saying we should play year 3 Dee Ford who's running away from the ball carrier over Breeland Speaks who's in position to sack Brady but doesn't. [Reply]
