We are using Williams as a LB basically. He is kind of being forced to do what he is doing this season and until we can get some LBs who are legit NFL players.

Sadly FA and the draft wasnt really good for LBs this season and Lou started waaaay late in the offseason game. Vigil and Brown are both crappy. Brown is too slow and Vigil has no instinct and takes bad angles. Neither of them can cover anyone. Teams are exploiting the LBs more than anything on our team. They are so bad, its hurting the entire defense.

Not to mention our sputtering offense is addicted to 3 and outs and cant sustain drives to give our D a break. Lou may not be that good of a DC, but this would be a bad year to try to judge that all things considered.

So you think ZT and Lou went to ownership and asked to sign more LB's and ownership said no forcing them to run 2 LB sets?

I think that the coaches wanted more speed on the field and thought they'd be innovative and get ahead of the passing league and wanted to run 2 LB sets. I don't think that part is on management.

I also think the Coaches thought they could get Brown and Vigil playing at an acceptable level.
