Oh yeah, whose job was it to teach tackling? Even pros need to learn, to be taught and need to practice their skills. If they didn't then the teams wouldn't need to hire coaches in the first place. When coaches see something as being deficient, it's their job to work on it with their players. As far as Spags' system working, he was a DC for exactly two years inheriting a very well coached group of players including a stellar defensive line. He was the one that was exposed, inheriting an average group of defensive players that he couldn't coach to play average. And average was all we really needed.

There were also lots of passes completed just over our LB's. Did the LB not cover deep enough? Were the safetties playing too deep? Did the LB/CB not cover their zone correctly? |

Re: Worst ever for Jenkins and Harper
When players are under a bad coach they generally return to bad habits that good coaches broke them of long ago.

Re: Worst ever for Jenkins and Harper
At some point there is STILL some personal accountability.
Missed tackles (IMHO) are personal, or should be. Dropped picks are also personal, but you kinda have to be in position to drop one. Not being able to run a tightend down after he gets a step is just sad. Being 5'11" across the back doesn't help either. We were slow to react, slow at the top-end, and just slow. 3-4 requires even more sideline to sideline fleet-of-foot from the box. I don't care how they stop the leaking. Our offense just deserves better help. |
