This is the thing that consistently was mentioned by myself and others. In the NFL back ups are back ups for a reason and when you are running out the back ups to the back ups then you are going to look bad all over. Every position group compliments the other and when multiple groups, don't forget beyond Dline the secondary was wrecked, you are going to be bad no matter who the coach is.
In reality there were times last year I was really impressed with what he was doing schematically. Even times where it failed, and people claimed it was "stupid" or "boneheaded" to play that (they were wrong by the way) I could still appreciate why he was trying to do it. This year we have seen how well it works with a more capable cast of characters.
