So if none of those guys improved, then its all on them? Whoever decided to bring those guys in and believed they would improve is not at fault here?

Wouldn\'t you call that a personnel problem?

Gee, thats funny b/c I would. :P I agree some bust are acceptable, but you just named 7.

I think you totaly missed my point.
Seven linebackers and none improved. Is it that all 7 players are busts? NO. My point was that it may have more to do with lousy coaching than the personnel brought in.
How could you have missed that point?

I got a question for ya\'ll. Couldn\'t it have been both, weak personnel and terrible coaching?

Darrin Smith is 34 years old. His best attribute might be the possibility of coaching after he retires. Derrick Rodgers is 33 years old. He pretty much had his typical type year. He didn\'t have any sacks but his number of tackles improved, which probably has more to do with the fact that he was our best linebacker. Players this old don\'t improve.
Hodge and Allen are disappointing. There\'s no excuse. Hodge was injured most of the season, but he wasn\'t lighting the world on fire when he returned.
Knight did ok for what he is, I\'d like to see more of him to get a better feel of what he is all about. Cie Grant? Who knows, I guess we\'ll see during camps.

I can\'t see how that could be Joe.
As a former linebacker, how could Haslett allow that unit to underachieve? If it were bad coaching, I\'m sure that Haslett would have fired the LB\'s coach. :P
