The Concept of Giving a Coach a Few Years to Build a Team

When coaches are bad, the drafting looks bad. And vice versa. Now coaches could be good and be dealt bad drafted players too.

I tend to think the issues here are more coaching than bad players...especially on defense. When you see guys PFF ratings drastically drop, it's coaching/scheme. And to those that say the LB's make the entire defense bad...the LB's were bad last year too, and the secondary and DLine ratings were much higher.

But, we don't have a LB on our roster capable of playing Nickle on a good team. It's crazy that the coaches don't switch our scheme to using 3 LB's and putt Pratt out there too.

They may actually be forced too now that Jackson and Kirkpatrick are out.

I agree about the 3 LBs...but, having said that, Pratt hasn't looked very good yet. We know Evans is a turd.....who knows, maybe they think the LBs are so bad, they're just playing the only 2 they feel are competent.
