The over the top safety help was late getting over, Mike Williams is like 7 feet tall and a saavy vet who made a great adjustment to the ball. Joshua Williams didn't have perfect position, but you can't really flip out about a rookie on elite physical receiver like Williams with no help over the top.
Was that Cook at safety there? he's so late I can't see the number on the replay. So two rookies didn't get it done on that rep.
The other guys get paid too, you know. Spags' defense played very well in the second half, with like 50% rookies, and any other narrative is just horseshit.

I think the key to evaluating the defense is to remember that they’re young and ascending. Especially in the secondary. The season long stats don’t reflect this defense at full strength.
What matters most from here is how we address the DL in the offseason. We’ve got a few too many eggs in the Chris Jones basket right now. We’ve got a few nice young pieces (Danna, George, and Saunders). We need to get some younger impact DL to keep this thing moving in the right direction.
