To me…you’re taking average to above average athletes, giving them way too much to think about and do…and then asking them to stop the same or better athletes who have 1, maybe maximum 2 jobs to think about on a play. If we had NFL DBs, OLBs who could rush and cover and any LB presence…this would still be a challenging defense to be successful with IMO.
I liken it to managing a team for office or admin work. If you have 3 points in a process and 6 different decisions and steps that need to be made at ever point and then 2 subsequent points dependent on quick decisions on the choices made at the first level…you’re going to be rife with mistakes. Sure, you’ll learn from those mistakes eventually but your team might not have the mental (physical for FB) capacity to make the right decision every time to be efficient and successful.
This coach needs to scrap this complicated defense and put in something that’s simple and works IMO. We have players except at LB, IMo…we can stop the run at times, rush the passer at times and even cover at times. To expect every level to make the correct play and decision every time for every variable just isn’t happening here. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Is our new coach insane? Stubborn? Already willing to go down with the sinking ship?
