Nothing against Shula, as I am sure he is a fine coach. But the combination of him learning back there plus having two rooks in the lineup and a couple other guys (Long & Rochell) who needed to show out it was poor timing to move him there without at least pairing him with a guy that had a deep experience level with that room.
So Aubrey's return, IMO, looms large for this team. And if it goes well we're gonna lose him quickly to a DC job but that's fine by me. Get this backfield playing up to snuff and we're gonna matter again quickly.
