Yes I heard that too and I realize that much was written about Blake Williams alienating himself from most of the defensive coaches, but he sure coordinated far better than Walton with less than half the experience. Well, I'm sure glad Fish and Williams let bygones be bygones and the Rams defense will be better off for it as Gregg Williams returns home to the Show Me State to Show Off his best defense ever!
I'm not sure which Blake Williams you are remembering, as the Rams were running the same play 10 yards off the ball stuff in 12 as they were in 13. Yes, the defense did perform better, but there were still grumblings of Fisher taking over for Williams towards the end of the year as well and there was not much love lost when he was let go at the end of the season either.
Walton just seemed in over his head though. That was very apparent. Williams punched his ticket by butting heads with the rest of the staff (not good when you are the young gun on the staff).
Finnegan is what is he. He never was a speed guy and injuries have ruined him over the past couple years. He may bounce back, but you never know. Don't know about you guys but fracturing an orbital bone doesn't sound like fun to me
