Promoting Nolan would have been a boss move for sure. Instead, we get loyalty to mediocrity. I still put a lot of this on our lack of player leadership. We have no leaders on Defense. None that I see.
Davis is the leader however he may be a bit timid b/c he's only been here three years compared to others who should be leading i.e. Cam Jordan. It may not be until mid season or next year where he really takes the reigns as the ex-facto leader.
