I think that they thought a new HC, with a more modern scheme and approach would get the players playing at higher levels...and that the scheme would work better than our old scheme.

That obviously fell apart. Warning sign 1 was when the Del Rio hiring fell through. I wonder IF they told Del Rio that the plan was to play 2 LB's 80% of the time and that those LB's would be Vigil and Brown and he passed? Speculation. Something fell through. Then they hired, what 6th choice Lou?

This team, in response to getting beat with outside runs and misdirection...puts a 5th defensive lineman in who is a Tackle. WHO in the NFL does that? More speed is what they need. They have no clue.

Offense has similar deficiencies.

It took then 8 games to figure out that you need to put a 2nd TE in to be able to run the ball.

Win now mode would usher in FA signings to fill gaps regardless of draft picks.

Alas they do what they do.  Which is not a win now mode attitude.

Shun legit outside FA help and waste money on under-performing vets from last season.

There's no New Dey.  Except for new faces at coaching.  It's bullshit. 

They didn't even give ZT as much as Marvin in his first season.
