You raise some good points. Let me ask a question. Who's going to coach young linebackers? Kirk Olivadotti was a quality control assistant, then worked as assistant position coach for the defensive line and special teams. At the college level, he coached wide receivers. Not sure he even played linebacker? I'm sure he can gameplan linebackers, but can he teach the position?

Not knocking the guy. Gibbs and company must have seen something in him. I'm just saying maybe this coaching staff isn't really geared to evaluate and develop young players.

Exhibit A - Rocky McIntosh

Yeah, it's bad enough if that 2nd round pick turns out being a bust, but it's even worse that they traded up (losing this year's 2nd in the process) to get him.

Most people here are going to defend Rocky until he gets more playing time. It may very well be too early to make the judgement about him.

Still, we know he wasn't good enough to start right away.
