The bye week to start the postseason provides extra rest and preparation for top seeds in each conference before the Divisional Round. Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Joshua Williams spent part of his bye week as a guest on ‘Up & Adams‘ with Kay Adams on Tuesday to share his thoughts on defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
“Every morning, Spags (Steve Spagnuolo) has new stuff. He’s a wonder,” said Williams. “He can come up with all these different types of pressures, all these different types of zone drops, and all of that is just stuff to kind of confuse the quarterback. A lot of times, guys get a defense, and they do the same thing year in and year out. And that’s good because, you know, you still get to perfect what you’re doing.”

“In this system, I think one of the benefits of us is that you have different guys doing different things all the time,” said Williams. “We have corners who Blitz. We have corners that drop to a half. We got corners playing man-to-man. We have corners playing off man off zone. So, there are so many different types of defenses we run. I feel like that’s one of the benefits that Coach Spags brings.”
Williams has become a starting cornerback following Jaylen Watson’s injury earlier in the season, often splitting time with teammate Nazeeh Johnson.
