i have reached a conclusion.

his defense will never win us a division title. he will never field a defense that is to be feared just respected at best. if that

all he needs to do is field a top 25 defense. which is what his track record is anyways.

Leave the rest to the offense. this off season is all about fixing the OL and whatever he can field is what he can field.

it all goes through drew

Yes, and somehow we need to find a LB or two that can frigan run and tackle. Jesus Christmas how can we not find anybody that can play the frigan spot well enough. Who is the LB coach?

I like a swarming D. This season has looked like every player was playing for only themselves, they didn't execute well as a unit, none tackled well, missed assignments and the list could go on. It was like O.K. go to your position and good things will come, I blame the players to a point in particular the tackling but these position coaches that don't get in their face for missing tackles and not performing their assignments are on the coaches. It seems we are more passive on the D than we are the O. I see it this way, our D coaches lokk like they really don't care if a player can go or goes to the next level and as long as they fill a few voids at any position that their job has been done. Their wrong to be this way. We need new coaches for the D, period.

No. They need to keep a d coach for more than 2 years. He is a good coach but suffered a lot of defensive injuries.

that's at least part of it. personnel decisions are the other part

Where is the evidence he is a good coach?

If Ryan does leave I would like ole'Romeo. I look at our D, were soft with no attitude, Crennel is all about attitude, in your face type. The good ole' buddy thing might not go so well with him.

I thought RR did a pretty decent job today. With a bunch of guys that never played together (which showed in the 1st half), they played pretty danged good team defense in the 2nd half.

RR needs 2 or 3 more Big Uglies in the middle for run support & a solid brickhouse MLB with speed for both run support & pass coverage.

I hate the torches & pitchforks mentality towards a guy working with an obvious lack of the right defensive personnel (NT & MLB) and with the in-game disadvantages put on him by his turnover-prone offense & his whack-ado-doofus special teams kick coverage units.

Some of our starts on defense are at best backups and third string on any other NFL team.
