He rolled out one of the worst defensive players in the league week after week (Hubbard) while keeping guys like Murphy, Ossai, etc. on the bench. We were basically playing 11 vs 12 on defense.
It's unforgivable.
Yeah I'm with you here.
No doubt that the defense lost major contributors. They also added pieces in FA and the draft to mitigate the losses. Same as they did when they built the foundation with Reader, Hendrickson, Bell, etc in the beginning.
The FAs panned out badly, and the draft picks have been below average at best. The FO owns some of that, but Lou owns a whole lot of it. Probably the great majority of the blame.
I know nothing of what really went down, but Lou comes off as a guy that has no time for teaching. He has a system and you either fit in or you don't. He expects guys to be at a level of capabilitywhen they reach the NFL level. He had a really hard time finding fits for young guys and he played older vets way too much. That approach with backfire in time. Father Time is undefeated. If you can't get something from the youth on the roster, you won't last as a coordinator.
