Maybe Nolan keeps getting hired to run defenses where teams invest heavily on offense and give him the scraps. Things must improve, especially in the secondary, but whatever the scheme, who are the players on that side of the ball who would even get a vote for the pro bowl, just one vote?
Not 1 in the secondary where our rookie 2nd rounder is clearly the best player.
Not 1 vote for any of our LBs....LVE was good at WLB, but is not a MLB.
If Aldon Smith gets some sacks, he might get a pro bowl vote.
We signed a bunch of players who are long in the tooth who were let go by their previous teams and not courted by anyone offering good money. We put most of our money on the offense, which is why I don’t understand going cheap on OL and TE backups because you are counting on winning with offense.
Jerry was significantly below the cap last year, and he’s significantly below the cap this year....while we need better backups on offense and better players on defense.
