If Gibbs and co. decieded to take the word of a position coach rather than evaluate the first pick we had last draft, they should have thier heads examined. The fact that no one would be able to evaluate him other than Lindsey would be a joke.

Is it the fact that Rocky can't play, or is it the fact that Williams doesn't know how to use him? We know AA can play, but he looked as if he didn't belong in the NFL under Williams. I know Williams had a fabulous first 2 years with us but maybe just maybe we are starting to see why he was such a lowsey head coach. I need to know how dumb you have to be not be able to understand the weakside LB position? It's not like anyone is being asked to split the atom, or maybe they are under Williams?

I agree, but Lindsey had the power to keep Lavar off the field, and Gibbs self proclaimed knowledge of defense is to tell them to "get 'em". I'm sure Lindsey had input, maybe enough to say he could make one guy excel in the system but not another. I just seems wierd that of all the coaches he took the fall when the d-line and DBs were also awful. It wasn't just his gruff attitude.
