Neither option is good but this team needs something different because the defense is foundering in a bad way.
Johnson barely played any snaps his rookie year. Then his second year was having a good camp and got injured. So he misses the while year. Then he comes back this year at camp and got injured again and missed the preseason games. So in reality this is pretty much a third year rookie playing out there with minimal NFL experience and Spags thought that was OK? Smh.
Williams has speed, height and length on his side. Plus experience of playing in high pressure playoff games. If he gets a run and looks bad like Johnson then it's gonna be a problem. But I have faith in the kid that he can at least be competent out there.

We need to move McDuffie back to where he excelled.
Either the slot or erase the 2.
I am fine with Joshua Williams going up against the other team's 1 with help.
