There are some holes, like OL and LB, but the DL is good and deep, the secondary has quality, RB is good, TE is well stocked, WR has depth issues.
I look at how little this coaching staff got from some quality players. The secondary has far more talent than how they played under this staff. The same is true for TEs and the DL. And look at how long it took them to figure out they had Mixon on the roster. The usage of the players is the coaching staff's job and they didn't make much use of these guys. Marv got a lot more out of these guys than Taylor did.
From what I see it will take Burrow just taking over the team and willing it to victory to make this coaching staff look good and maybe he'll do that and the coaches will look smart. We'll have to see. it was Payton Manning who took Indy and later the Denver to the SB, it wasn't Tony Dungy or John Fox that made that happen.
Funny how our very good CB corps, that has been a strength on Defense since 2007 (arguable on 2010, as they were RAVAGED with injuries), has been horrid for the past 2 years.
I wonder what position coach came in and completely f'd them up...
You know, the coach that has been canned and replaced with someone with a better track record?
