Coming clean- anyone else?

Well, I'm glad it's worked out and I really like that he keeps it real with the local watering holes; that said...

If it weren't for injuries to Will Smith and Kenyon Coleman, I wonder if Glenn Foster and Tyrunn Walker would have gotten the opportunities...

The one thing I was excited about was the commitment to play Kenny Vaccaro as they have, as well as create opportunities for Rafael Bush; it took an outsider to come in and explain to Payton (who's loyal to his players to a fault) that Harper and Jenkins are horrible in coverage...

Guess we'll watch and see how he and defense progresses in both this post season and offseason moves...

I expect, we stay in our 3 safety look for much of the game tonight... Need all the speed and coverage ability we can get. 3-3-5 Galette and Hawthorne lined up outside...

No way I hated it with the way we went lst year.
No way I thought we would do so well. I thought maybe 6 or so plaecs better and he was doing good. Now I got that real wrong.

Why do I get the feeling that if the entire defense fails tonight and our offense lays an egg with numerous turnovers and numerous 3 and outs, that you're gonna point out 2 or 3 plays that Harper/Jenkins blew as reasons why we lost the game?

Oh thats right, I forgot... because you always do.

Buy a clue JP, they aren't very expensive.

Romeo is probably looking for a home down in Houston as we speak. The Texans will be back on D next season under his guidance.

Liked the signing of Ryan. Wasn't thrilled with drafting Vaccaro.

If you had no concerns about Rob you either didn't care or are a visionary.

There was nothing in his resume (genes yes, resume no) to tell anyone he could field a top 5 defense.

Hell.... I don't know of a swinging dik that knew we had top 4 personnel, much less a coach.

To be #2 in the league in passing defense was unimaginable.

Don't be hard on your self.... Even Rob would have laughed if you told him where we would end up.

I admit I wasn't thrilled about the hire either. I had him pictured as this blustery guy and hes really not.
