when we went 5-0 last year, guess who started every game? lavar. he was liked in the locker room too, even though he was whiny to the media.
but that was a move that had to be made, since it got us out of a terrible contract. that said, holdman isn't a starting NFL linebacker on a good defense.
the chemistry of so many new parts (on defense, most of which were slight downgrades) has got too be a bit of an issue though. It's harder to go out and fight for a bunch of guys you don't care about. Injuries have really hurt too, but it can't JUST be injuries alone that caused that kind of decline. It seems like the new guys are just a bad fit :/.
