[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 864699"] Actually, his biggest value to this team last season was in having a fine season at slot corner in year 2 of the Pettine defense. We cannot say that about some other guys. Of course performance and "helping the young guys" are two sides of the same coin. If you put some grizzled vet on the field for a 70+% snap count and he's not pulling his weight then his "doing it the right way" message is not going to resonate. There are not many players you can point to who played noticeably better at age 36 than at age 35 while staying healthy. This one of the rare few. One of the reasons to retain Williams last season continues into 2020: versatility. It wasn't needed with low injury incidence in the D-backfield, but having that guy around who can play the perimeter, or free safety in a pinch, is good to have when you have to pare down to the 46 man game day roster. Given other needs, it would be a good idea to re-sign Williams to the proverbial "cheap contract". Of course that caveat doesn't pan out very often with guys who can still play. So, how cheap is the question. There are 31 other teams out there, a couple of which surely have a slot corner issue who might be interested in a one year solution. It comes down to cost. As for Sullivan, his 34% snap count came primariy in dime and quarters zone coverage. His flashes came in zone coverage, like here: [MEDIA=youtube]F2Ob75fPrME[/MEDIA] And here: [MEDIA=youtube]91nDJ6ZrBNM[/MEDIA] What would he look like in a 70+% snap count with a heavy dose of man coverage as his tape in that role accumulates? That's anybody's guess. [/QUOTE]
