I've been saying this since free agency. This team has given Lou a lot of his own guys. If this D continues to struggle and play like what it has been. Lou should not make it through the season. He needs to be fired.

I agree, it's time for Lou's Crew to produce.  In the beginning he was using players selected for a different style of defense than the principles that he subscribes to.  As time has went by, all of those players have been cast off, as soon as it was fiscally viable to do so.  The players selected since have all been picked according to their skill sets leaning toward excelling in the coverage schemes that Lou employs.  Now, injuries and covid opt outs also have played a role in the defensive ineffectiveness, but all teams have to deal with those same issues.

So yes, it is time for Lou to put up or shut up.
