I get what you're saying and I recall seeing a lot of the same things in those years. But JL did make a lot of plays along the way too.
The average depth of tackle on run plays, career
James Laurinitias = 3.73 yards downfield
Ernest Jones = 3.97 yards downfield
Perception isn't always reality. It's possible that JL wasn't as bad as people remember. I like Jones better but in terms of where tackles were made in plays he made the tackle ... JL was in the ballpark.
I think because the Rams were poor up the middle in 2009-11 ... people think it was mostly his fault. I don't know ...
