It just looks like bad coaching...especially on defense. When you are down to your what 6th choice for DC, you probably didn't get a great candidate.
Free agency was lackluster too. Signing 2-3 upgrades would have really revamped the roster. What scares me is a lot of the guys they signed had ties to new coaches they brought in. So it appears that the coaches wanted these poor players.
I blame the players more. It’s the players not catching, tackling, blocking etc. these guys are pros they shouldn’t have to be taught how to tackle, catch and do on. No excuse for veterans to look as bad as they did in the SF game.also it makes no sense to say Brown, Tobin or the coaches have no idea what their doin yet the 7th DC option must not be any good. By that logic he’s just as good as their first option. Not sure what the deal was with the DC’s but maybe it’s the lack of talent on that side of the ball that drove them away.
