Too many times an above average player/coach gets called "garbage" or "an embarrassment" simply because he is not an All Pro elite player.
But with this defense there is nothing I can say. All the screaming about "scheme" and "coaching" don't explain why guys who have been in the league for years suddenly have forgotten how to tackle a ball carrier.
There is now a chance of Hope. Austin fired since I started this thread. Marvin takes over on D. Well, with Marvin's job on the line also, maybe he kicks some D players butts and they start to tackle again. That is a lot of Maybe's, but I like that they fired Austin and it is worth a shot. An improvement in the D could still bring a 9 or 10 win season. After the last 4 games on D, a 9 or 10 win season would be great.
There is rumor Hue is coming in fast. I'm hoping they let Lazor run the offense, and Hue as an assistant head coach as Marvin takes over the D, which is all better than what Austin was doing.
