He does seem to get beat by receivers more often than he should. The two bombs to Santana Moss in the first Redskin-Cowboy game this year is a good example.

True enough, although I cut him some slack with that since he plays Strong Safety.  It's odd, if you just looked at their body types, you'd probably put Williams in centerfield and Taylor up at the line, but their talents are what they are.  Moss in a go route is tough for the under guy and Keith Davis on top isn't exactly what you want backing you up.

You're right about the horse collar.  He did yank an Eagle down this season (can't remember which, I kind of erased the whole season from memory) but he used the jersey collar rather than the pads so it was clean.

I have to wonder why they kept the horse collar tackle legal if it by the jersey. The whole point was to prevent injuries and a horse collar tackle by the jersey is just as prone to injure a player as one inside the collar.

I agree with cutting Willams some slack since at strong safety, he is usually not responsible for primary coverage on deep routes. It is he responsibly to help the DB though, and on a some deep routes he has come up short.
