No Way Zac Is Going Anywhere But They Better Show Lou The Door

With a good DC and some pieces back this offseason and some good pickups the defense can definitely turn it around, but if Lou is still here you can forget it.

David Johnson runs for 128 yards. Who the hell is David Johnson?  Watson threw for 324 yards and the team averaged 9.6 yards per play. The defense can do better than what we've seen in 2020 and with a seasoned defensive coordinator can make the changes we need to win.

I hope Zac realizes part of being a HC is holding his coaches accountable. Get a good guy in there to lead the defense for 2021.

I will preface this statement with I think there are better DCs out there than Anarumo (Wade Phillips specifically), but Anarumo may have done enough in the weeks prior to the Texans game to have saved his job. 

In the 7 games since the bye week, Anarumo's defense held teams to 20 points or less in 4 of them. The benefit of the doubt for Anarumo is he's down some big-name players - Dunlap (traded), Atkins (injury), Reader (injury), Waynes (injury). Mike Brown and Zac Taylor may feel that once Reader and Waynes come back, this could be a Top 15 defense along with a couple draft picks.
