@john_keim Why no true LB coach this year? Like QBs last year, seems like the unit has regressed. #jkquestion
John Keim: I wanted to answer this one because there were more questions about the linebackers than anything else. And I’ve received others like this in the past couple weeks. The linebacker play has been way too inconsistent and disappointing so I’m with everyone there (but not all those big runs to the outside are solely the fault of the linebacker; defensive backs have missed too many tackles in those situations).
But, to start, the Redskins do have a linebackers coach and he’s someone I respect a great deal: Kirk Olivadotti.
