Coaching may well be garbage. But the one point people overlook is execution. If the players execute 50% more and we're 1-1 or 2-0 and nobody would even mention the coaching.

Dropped passes, throwing easy INTs, false start penalties, etc. those things are on the players, not the playcalling.

I also have a hard time digesting that because Payton isn't here, we're sloppy. Rooks, maybe. Veterans? I doubt it. Most of our guys have been here before.

Now, I'm not saying we don't miss Payton. But I'm saying there's blame from top to bottom that goes beyond coaching.

And I wouldn't get too excited about a high draft pick. If I remember right, we lost one this coming year too, thanks to our bud, Roger.
