Lou needs to go! AFC North teams know our defense better than we do. Pitt and Baltimore scored on almost every possession they had when we played them. Cleveland was moving the ball against us with Watson until he got hurt. Would not be surprised if both Cleveland and Pitt scored over 30 on us when we play them again. We couldn't beat them last year either. Only Cleveland last year last game of the year that meant nothing. Now the rest the league knows our D. Our scheme is terrible. This current staff has also never developed anyone. I will give you Wilson, Pratt and CTB. Hubbard and Bates was here before they got here and performed well. Everyone else was brought in from another team whose staff developed them. Lou also refuses to play the young guys and develop them. Case in point Dax Hill. You draft a guy to replace a player who is very good and in his first year you let him play many positions in the secondary. Then you start him at safety and he has an up and down year playing next to another safety who just wasn't very good. That safety is replaced by a rookie who plays really well. Lou said it was communication that was the reason they were having trouble. You bring in Stone and Bell, who was just cut by worse team in the league, and state your problems are corrected. Only problem its worse than last year. People said Dax had trouble covering people but somehow moved to corner and became our best coverage corner. Bell was finally replaced by Battle after it was discovered that Bell has lost a step and the communication problems wasn't fixed. Maybe playing Hill and Battle was your best option after all. The only reason the rookies are playing on the d line is because Hill and Rankins have been hurt most the year. Hubbard is hurt and still plays more snaps than Murphy. CTB developed some sort of mental problem in the offseason and Wilson along with Money Mac traded their balls for marriage. Meanwhile Pratt and Hilton thinks there isn't much of an issue on D. Now Lou comes out and says Stone is his guy. He's giving 100%. Boy I hope that doesn't mean the rest aren't. Note: Stone is one of the worst rated safeties in the NFL
