The link and audio is above. This was a really good interview - and forget the part about him calling for Jerry Jones to sign Antonio Brown. The summary:
- We are hurting right now, yeah every team has injuries, but we are hurting in the worst possible places
- Amari Cooper killed the Eagles last year and he likely won't be on the field
- With both tackles out, the Jets had a genius game plan. They played a "bear" 5-man front and isolated the linemen so that it wasn't possible to chip or give them help. And the tackles failed miserably.
- If Collins and Smith are out again, expect the same game plan against us
- And yeah, he said screw the public relations, if Amari can't play for a couple of weeks bring in Antonio Brown, because two more losses and this season might just be lost.
Between Irvin and Deion and their '
bring in buddy-system' mentality.
Who would want that on going chaos on their team with Antonio Brown ? - even the Pats finally said the hell with this. (after just one week)
Its not warranted ...not worth that kind of utter despair panic. At the least, you sit out Cooper and let him heal properly, so we can have him more long term and get him back quicker.
- at least we don't have season ending to the more prominent star players - cooper, smith, Collins, cobb, LVE, Quinn, Dlaw - that are not out for the year.
Their returns could right around the corner at one point or another.
But I really think the biggest problems is the lack of depth and questionable coaching is being exposed. that's the problem.
- Cowboys thought the world of Cam Fleming as a backup because he started at NE in Super bowl, he's been dreadful. Knight is rookie and more OG than OT.
we have under-utilized our RBs and we lack explosive splash plays in what we are getting.
- and much talked about cedric wilson and tavon austin, but they are not enough difference makers Wilson has no speed for outside, and coaches have totally lost confidence in Devin Smith
since the Saints game.
Austin has flaws in receiving game and not the strength, length and consistency you want for the outside and its’s always hit away from being out the game.
- I am disappointed with interior – something is just not right with Fredrick and I heard he even sat out a practice, is there still issues with his syndrome. Is it a case where he’s just not fully recovered
..or is the syndrome gradually reoccurring again ? Still think Martin is struggling with his back disc injury.
And Williams is just not developing into a promising, stand out OG.
- Vastly disappointed in the coaching staff. The Kellen Moore has been overrated. Lack of creativity, designs, RB usage, notorious slow starts, the injuries at outside WRs didn’t help.
- Defense really falling apart from DL ..to LBs..to secondary. DLaw is underachieving, Quinn only bright spot, Maliek exposed for what he is.(usually is) Woods is serviceable
And Hyder is a non factor and they don’t really believe in Trysten Hill this year, may play per injury situation.
- Awuzie and Brown have been disappointing. Such as teams can go after them without having to challenge Byron. You can get more plays on Chidou and Brown.
Jordan may have his own issues in coverage, but he is clearly the DB that can give us the INTs. Lewis vs Brown.
Xavier is not showing up with big plays. Is high ankle still affecting him ?
- I really do want to change the DL coach and change how we play upfront, we’ve tried this Marinelli way and it hasn’t worked out.
I really want to do away with the Marinelli scheme and player personnel preference.
Do away with these slant- run defense, (people keep saying its undersized but that's not really the issues) and have the proper guys upfront to better cover for the LBs,
When I hear the Saints going multiple games without allowing a 100 yd runner, that’s impressive. And the times I’ve seen their D, teams don’t produce much and have career games on them.
But this team loves Marinelli...and it’s gonna be years on of suffering with this I fear
