You can't really put on Guenther the fact that Burfict is fat, out of shape, and a shell of his former self, MJ forgot how to play the run, Dennard has been a bust, or Pac man has lost 2-1/2 steps. The loss of Reggie hurt us a lot worse than most of us thought, and they would have been better off spending that money they spent on Dansby on team building exercises.
How much talent do really think this D has? Atkins is a beast and Dunlap is good all around DE. Iloka was great, but looks lost without Nelson. Williams stinks, Jones is a has been, Kirk is average, Dennard is an injury prone bust. Burfict hasn't been elite since he got paid, Dansby is washed up, people have screamed for Maualuga and Peko's jobs for years, MJ is solid or garbage depending on how he feels that year.
So basically instead of blaming coaching for the entire defense playing like shit were gonna go with every player is fat, a bust or lost a step all at once?
When the coaches are giving 10 yard cushions we can't really blame the CBs for giving up 5-10 yard plays when its thrown that direction, so scared of giving up the big play we do this shit.
Call me crazy but Id rather give up the occasional big play and play tight coverage and atleast give our Dline a chance to get after the QB instead of just letting teams walk up and down the field by giving them 5-10 yard pass plays anytime they want them, shit the only time it seems we get a stop is if the opposing team makes a mistake.
