He can also point to losing both starting DTs and an aspiring rookie DT to short term injuries as an excuse for the early season struggles. Bottom line is that the front office set him up for failure by not ensuring that he had a genuine NT on the roster to start the year. And then to add insult to injury (no pun intended) the same front office teases with bringing in Howard for a workout at CB and let him leave without a deal...

And people can point to where Lou’s defense has finished every season since he’s been here (Leap has posted it recently). You can only live off a couple nice playoff runs where the defense got some timely turnovers for so long. At some point you have to look at his results as a whole. And they aren’t great.

If he would have been able to field even a mediocre defense this season we’re currently in a playoff spot.
