Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 2046471, member: 837"] I would actually suggest White gets a bunch of blame b/c he's the cog who didn't fit quite right. If he comes in and is a solid fit at both the 2 and the three, then a lot of issues are solved. He plays a lot of 2 early while Battle figures things out/gets healthy, then maybe slides more to 3 when Battle figures it out. But White not fitting at all (defensively) at the 2, meant he had to play the 3 which threw off the preseason plan of Lydon at the 3, robey at the 4 and Chukwu/DC at the 5 (at least for long stretches). Moving Lydon off the three (the other issue, along with PG) wasn't a problem but for a while we stopped playing Robey, which never made much sense to me from an energy/hustle standpoint. Anyway, if White were a true 2, we would've had more flexibility and I think that's where most of the criticism originates from -- consciously or subconsciously, fairly or unfairly. [/QUOTE]
