Lou had no problem turning Jessie Bates into an All Pro. Why is it the coaching staff's fault Hill isnt a better safety? Maybe Hill just isnt cut out to play that position in the NFL.
Bates came in as a rookie knowing how to play the position with 1000 snaps, Lou didnt teach him how to be a FS, how do you NOT know this?
Dax played 3 different positions his rookie year, and last season, his first at FS, he had better stats than Bates in his 4th season. Had Dax not dropped 3 interceptions everyone would be loving him. But even if had those extra picks he still struggled with the concepts. They used a 1st round pick on a guy and moved him everywhere but his natural position. And they might be dong it again this year at boundary. Defend the coaching all you want, I rarely agree with your takes anyway, the coaches will likely admit that they have not done a good enough job with Dax.
