ng together as Williams was on Fishers staff for six seasons

St. Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - The St. Louis Rams named Gregg Williams defensive coordinator on Wednesday. Williams, who replaces Tim Walton, spent the 2013 season with the Tennessee Titans, where he served as a senior assistant/defense. The Titans made great strides defensively last season, ranking 16th in points per game and 14th in total defense. "I am excited about coaching this defense," said Williams. "I would like to thank Jeff Fisher and the Rams organization for this opportunity and I am looking forward to getting to work and helping our defense become one of the best in football." Walton was fired at the end of the season. His defense gave up 364 points last season, 13th in the NFL. It ranked 19th against the pass and ninth against the run. Williams has presided over five separate top-five total defenses during his coaching career, and as a defensive coordinator or head coach (15 seasons), Williams has led seven top-ten overall defenses. Williams and head coach Jeff Fisher have previous experience working together as Williams was on Fishers staff for six seasons with the Titans/Oilers, including four as defensive coordinator. Williams was the defensive coordinator in New Orleans from 2009-11. He was suspended for the entire 2012 season for his role in Bountygate. Kyle Palmieri Jersey .

I think people tend to forget, when Adrrian did make a mistake, he admitted he made a mistake, he went through the process in the court system.dddddddddddd . Hes currently suspended by the NFL right now. But hes done a lot of positive things in this community as well.Spielman also expressed a firm belief that Peterson would be able to return to form as one of the leagues best running backs even after sitting out almost an entire season and hitting 30, the age when many running backs start to experience a fast and steep decline in production. Spielman pointed to 2012, when Peterson returned from a horrific knee injury to rush for 2,097 yards and was the league MVP.Knowing Adrian, I know that he is going to want to come back and play (and) hes going to play at a very high level when he comes back, Spielman said. Im anticipating that, just knowing Adrian from what hes done in the past.Spielman would not comment on Petersons contract situation and said the team cannot be in contact with Peterson during his suspension.The NFL Players Association has filed a lawsuit in federal court in an effort to overturn the arbitrator Harold Hendersons decision to uphold Petersons suspension. An initial court hearing will be held in Minneapolis on Feb. 6.Spielman said they would like to have a more definitive plan for Peterson before free agency and the draft come around to give them ample opportunity to add another running back if he is no longer in purple. The draft will be held starting on April 30.Is there a resolution? Not right now, Spielman said. All I know is where we stand today. Does that change? Im sure its going to change. But until those things change, until things get resolved, right now, we have Adrian Peterson, who is under contract next year, who is currently suspended by the NFL, and thats pretty much all I can go into right now.___AP NFL websites: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Twins Jerseys Wholesale Royals Jerseys Cheap Tigers Jerseys Authentic Indians Jerseys Cheap White Sox Jerseys Discount Blue Jays Jerseys Wholesale Rays Jerseys Cheap Yankees Jerseys Discount Red Sox Jerseys Discount Orioles Jerseys Discount Astros Jerseys Cheap Angels Jerseys Cheap Athletics Jerseys Cheap Mariners Jerseys Rangers Jerseys From China Braves Jerseys Outlet Cheap Marlins Jerseys Wholesale Mets Jerseys Wholesale Phillies Jerseys Cheap Nationals Jerseys Cubs Jerseys From China Reds Jerseys From China Cheap Brewers Jerseys Wholesale Pirates Jerseys Cheap Cardinals Jerseys Cheap Diamondbacks Jerseys Authentic Rockies Jerseys Dodgers Jerseys From China Wholesale Padres Jerseys Giants Jerseys From China ' ' '
