A year or so ago, one of the guys said something along the lines of "Everyone in the NFL knows ball, and they know what they are doing. I think the main reason some of these guys fail is because they aren't given enough time."
I don't think that is something that is true ALL of the time, but I do think that guys are cut too quickly sometimes. I will be the first to admit that I was not a fan of Zac and Lou. I thought they were a joke, the whole coaching staff. It's a lesson to learn that, sometimes, even though we may be so sure that the coaches are just raving idiots, it is probably us that are idiots. None of us really know what the hell we are talking about, no matter how confidently we say it.
In the same vein, it is also a reminder that players play the game. The coaches are doing a good job, but good coaches also find good players.
I almost made a post about the adjustment thing. The first two years we were bad on defense and I don't know where we ranked or how we did in the 2nd half of games compared to the 1st. But I think we must've added someone that is bringing a certain philosophy or analytics that we are using. I mean we added players but it feels like more than that. I think Lou and the staff deserve a ton of credit. I just wonder if there's a certain defensive assistant we added that is helping with these adjustments.......Bengaldamaus?
