Kirkpatrick, Jones, Burfict, Maualuaga are just a few that come to mind. People wanted AJ benched this year. So now it has finally happened and some of the same people are up in arms about how dare the coaches do that. Maybe if Carlos had been putting in 100% on every play the defense would be better. Maybe if Carlos knew the playbook inside and out his play would be better. It is not the coach's fault in the last game when Carlos watched a pass get caught right in front of him, watched the receiver fall down, get back up, take a step before Carlos decided to try and stop him with the player within arms reach the entire time. I even commented on that in the gameday thread. Carlos Dunlap is not the future of this defense or team. The only question at this point is if he will be active tomorrow and how long he remains on the team. It is just a shame that this is ending so badly.
There is one big difference between then and now. Marv and his coaches were mostly competent and produced winning records, up until the last couple of years. Zac and his staff have shown zero aptitude for knowing how to win. So, it’s a credibility issue. Do you believe vets like Dunlap, Atkins, Green that this staff is clueless or do you trust coaches that have never been winners?
