But the system taking so long to learn with less time to practice under the new CBA probably contributed to tackling woes.

Our defense is basically stupid and has a tough time running schemes.

Players learn and unlearn new/old playing styles and habits and adapt to new situations, just like everyone of us has the ability to adapt to new situations in our lives and careers. Therefore, I think that even though the defensive personnel might not have fitted perfectly Spags' system this year - it doesn't necessarily mean that they won't fit it come next season, if not perfectly then in all probability at least somewhat better.
But here is where we differ I guess. When your defense is last in NFL history then 'somewhat better' improvements just isn't going to cut it. While we have our entire lives to adapt to our careers, NFL players have at most a few years. Hoping the players will smarten-up or improve due to an offseason is something Haslett would do.

If it is all about the players and having the best than anyone could be a sucessful coach which I dont agree with totally. Good Players have to be disiplined and cover their responsibilities which I know wasn't happening. The question is was it the players fault or was spags not putting them in position to have success I cant really answer that. Only those coaches and players really know what went down. I think Payton will do a lot to fix this and hold spags and or the players accountable again.

So we should run a dumbed-down defense that is comprehensible by the lowest IQs on the team?

Yea.... um that's going to throw opposing QBs into a tizzy

Just my 2 cents, he runs mostly zone and depends heavily on front line talent to apply pressure. LB's are required to cover deeper zones than most and his safeties typically play Left-Right instead of Strong-Free.

Since our front 4 wasn't the best at applying pressure to begin with, and our LB's aren't very good in coverage, and our CB's are better suited for man-to-man and our safeties better suited for Strong-Free, I would probably stay away from a scheme or system that is basically opposite of what your players do best.

At least thats my armchair stab at it.

Before you start calling out members who have been here and had intelligent discussions before you came along, take a deep breath and then Shut UP!:brood:

Seriously, get a feel for the board first.
And while you are at it why don't you fill in the section about me in your profile, so we know who we are dealing with?
