Man that's a good watch.

And the thread about Laurinaitis should contain the comments offered by Williams about 5 minutes in.

Here's the quote from Williams on Laurinaitis: JL has to be an extension of me....he has to be the play caller out there...and I tell everybody all the time is....what defense are we playing? We're playing the defense that James calls, not what I called.

I enjoyed watching that but boy did it feel like Greg was a little annoyed answering Junior High and High School football level questions.

Thanks for posting that was a great watch, especially that last sack breakdown. JL the captain out there. You can tell that GW is glad to have #55.

I have to say though...Myles Simmons gets on my nerves a bit. His delivery whenever he speaks comes across to me as incredibly fake, like he's really not interested in the questions he's asking.

I lap this kind of stuff up.

I'd heard of things like stunts and 3 technique but never really understood what it meant.

Also makes you realise the value of JL55 because he has to take what Williams has called and adapt it to what he sees once the offense lines up. Massive responsibility on his shoulders which is why he gets paid the big bucks (and probably deserves it)

Seriously a good watch. I'm going to have my son watch that. Really good for perspective when watching the D work.

Dude seems giddy with being able to have Donald, Quinn, JL, and Brockers as major playing pieces in his sets. Cool comment about JL and I really liked the feeling that he is glad to have Brockers as a big smart guy on D.

That was some great insight into GW'S teaching ability. That was 6 min and you could tell he was trying to break it down into a 6 min class that all levels could comprehend, can you imagine a couple hours day in and day out. Really nice teaching approach, Knowledge and an easy to follow approach are key's to teaching efficiency

You can tell that Williams is a great teacher. I though he was patient and very informative in how he explained everything. Like everyone else has said....very good video presentation.

Williams worries me at times...those times being when his only answer is to blitz, instead of adjust. He does come up with some dynamic schemes though.

With Fisher as HC...at least there's someone to reel him in...(y)

Cool vid. Love me some G Will. Can not STAND Myles Simmons. How does a nerd with a squeaky voice and no charisma get that gig??

Good question. And let's be honest. Nick Wagoner wasn't the most charismatic guy in the world either. I think they hire good writers and shove them in front of a camera where these guys aren't the most comfortable. They should probably hire a big personality and get an intern to write his stuff. Most of it is just regurgitated press conference transcripts anyway.

This is going to be a nasty defense that teams will not want to see come playoff time.
