AL DAVIS PICK: ROLANDO

[DeadRinger]

If you want to talk about guys like DHB, Fabian Washington, etc. that's fine. Those guys were big reaches and Al blew it. But then he hit big on guys like Aso, and trading our first rounder for Moss was a stroke of genius. Everyone here would be singing Al's praises for that if we'd had competent coaching while he was here.

Nothing is ever just about the player, as Tene continuously points out. Coaching matters. Scheme matters. Attitude matters. Culture matters. A football organization is a big-ass interdependent ecosystem.
