The problem with the Redskins and Trotter is that he plays a very limited defense. The Eagles use him to stop the run almost exclusively. Each coordinator we had tried to make him an all-purpose MLB something that does not suit him. Offiss is right (how often do you hear that?) in that Williams's schemes require versatility out of all of his players - and certainly his LB's. Hate the cap hit, but it had to happen.
