Let\'s start with your statement about 4 players that shouldn\'t have started. I agree with the players you pointed out. Could coaching and motivation really have made a big difference? I guess what I want to know is the biggest reason for the down fall of the defense the coaching or lack of talent, or both?

I blame coaching, I think there are coaches that could have gotten alot more out of our defense than Venturi did last year. This is speculative, I guess, although I can\'t comprehend looking past the coach to the players. It\'s like the kid that burns down his school, yeah the principal isn\'t directly at fault, but he also doesn\'t want that on his resume.
