I guess he would have viewed a move from Holdman to Rocky as being a move of desperation. I'd say this is a good quality in general since usually desprate moves end up being unsuccessful. I think he put Rocky in when he thought he was ready, not when he passed Holdman in terms of preparedness.

See, I understand that GW is a great coordinator, but sometimes you have to go with the flow. Other teams start rookies from the start, and I would love the Skins to do the same. GUARANTEED if we draft some skill position rookies, they won't start until the end of the season. The good news is about tackles is a lot of times he's rotating them.

If I was the coodinator, I would have played Rocky from Week 6 on. But Gregg Williams knows a lot more about defense than I do, obviously, and probably considered factors that we didnt even know existed.

The D was very much in transition this year (with the Carter signing), and for Grilliams sake, I hope that was by design.

I have to agree.
When I read a post suggesting that GW or JOE2, or whoever had missed some elemental, simplistic fix for a problem............like our 2006 Defenseive woes, I am perplexed. These guys are not Gods. But, what they are is incredibly talented successful, highly respected, top of the food chain coach's. I find it....silly that they would not have noticed and acted on our observations here. And, as G already stated, we see what they allow us to see, nothing more. We really do not have any idea what the real story generally is.
I also cannot entertain the idea that they have built these reputations on maniacal, ego driven decision making.

It's one think to look at a roster move or a draft pick and say that it was a good or bad move. In that case, the fan has access to all the information the team did without any of the biases that exist inside the war room. But on the field play is a whole different animal. We really don't know exactly what GW was trying to do when we repeateously got beat by that 5 yard hitch last year. It seems on the surface that the solution would be to press the recievers with the corners, but chances are GW realizes something that makes a 7 yard completion on a third down for a first the lesser of two evils.
