It's official.

Olivadotti Promoted to LB Coach

Kirk Olivadotti has been promoted to LB's coach. I'm not sure what to think of this move. We'll see if it pans out next season.

LB Coach Lindsey Will Not Return

This needed to happen. Too many egos in the locker room, and he needed to go.

This is Washington Post quote about this Oliva guy...

Olivadotti has spent his entire seven-year NFL career with the Redskins. He joined the team in 2000 as a quality control coach, as well as assisting with the defensive backs.


What the hell is that? Like he makes sure the food at Redskins Park is not rotting?

Lindsay was old school. Some guys can deal with it, some guys can't. I don't care if you bring in Mike Singletary. Regardless of who coaches the LB's there needs to be an upgrade in talent.

I agree. I'd like to see Washington and Rocky start on the outside with our # 6 draft pick going toward a force in the middle.

As long as the D-line is pourous against the run, the play of the LBs will suffer. Dick Butkus in his prime may have struggled behind this unit. I agree that McIntosh has to be the starter on one side next year.

I agree I think 90% of our defensive issues start with the line...We need a hard charging DE in the draft and maybe another DT through FA...we've been getting by on smoke and mirrors up front for awhile now and it finally caught up to us this year.

We bring in A. Carter and draft 2 DT's ,,,, DL played poorly this year . The last three years we use the 5th pick & 9th pick < Taylor/ Rogers > and bring in AA this year ,, secondary play was horrible . We let , Trotter , Pierce , mitchell and La < who sucked > go and we fire the LB coach , not the DL or secondary coach ? Maybe Lindsey is a jerk , but had LB been given the attention our DL and secondary received , maybe the results would have been better .Good news is Olivadotti is well respected .

Quality Control is what Coy Gibbs does these days
