Re: Should we fire RR?

One great year, one horrible year. If you look at his body of work including college he's good. I'd give him another year, try and get him some bodies that can push.

Replacing the DC every year is the worst option. They seldom get in the playoffs their first attempt, something like 20% chance on a new team. He was the exception last year. It comes down to what would you rather have, a 20% chance or, a higher chance with lessons learned and some new talent. I'll take the later. If that fails he's outta here.

Building continuity. I like it. A lot of us (myself included) also lose sight that this is kinda like Payton's 2nd year as a HC.

Like it or not, we are seeing the effects of that Bounty Gate crap. Call it a cop out or what not for the way this year has unfolded at 7-9 or 6-10 if you like, but losing TWO 2nd Round draft picks or having the option of trading those picks for veterans with leadership qualities and most importantly breaking the continuity of leadership Sean Payton had between 2011 & 2013 showed up in 2014.

Call me stupid for saying so, but I've been called much, much worse.

Hay, much much worse. I think you are right.

Williams is clearly better than RR. He did smoke and mirrors and susatined it. RR's D looked lost all year.

If they didn't want to play for him. I don't know if he was the problem. He just might be.

Re: Should we fire RR?

I know a few people mentioned it before, but I have to ask again because I saw no clear answer. What is the deal with the soft coverage on almost every play. The worst examples was when it would constantly be 3rd and short. Our CBs would literally be in press coverage position then drop a few yards behind the first down marker right before the ball was snapped. This resulted in many first downs as well as opened up the screen game for Atlanta.

If anyone comes across an article explaining what the benefit of that kind of D is, please share.

I'm so confused by it!

They played loose coverage all year, and this is honestly my most hated aspect of any defensive scheme. We could play a 1-5-5 all game and I would care less than the ****ty off-man coverage.

Re: Should we fire RR?

The Atlanta offense is pretty good and the D held up yesterday. The Atlanta D had 16 sacks on the season going into the game but sacked Drew 5 or 6 times. If we should fire anyone it'd be the O-Line coach. In what was essentially a playoff game, we showed little fire or effort. This team has no leadership and I suspect there are problems behind closed doors. Is RR the problem? Personally, I like RR. I hope we keep him.
