Biggest indictment on Eberflus

[JustChip]

I'll say this for him, nobody can fix stupid.

Or slow.

Whispering to Sanborn, Murray and Clark is like whispering to Moe, Larry and Curley

Classic! Up there with your “she said kiss her where it stinks, so you took her to Hoboken.”

I am sorry, but you can take a pile of crap from the ground. put it on a nice plate (cowboys stadium), dress it up with some mashed potatos and parsley and call it a steak dinner, because once you cut into it, it still stinks and still pile of crap.

I am willing to give Eb benefit of the doubt at this time. a bunch of cast offs nobody wanted and literally pile of crap every where else and we expect a decent defense. there is no magic wand for these players and 10 out of 11 need to be shipped out. I would actually consider getting rid of almost everyone and bringing in street FA and PS players from other teams. they would play more hungry.

Can't make chicken salad out of chicken poop.

Sanborn was brought over from Chicago bc he supposedly “knew the system”

Murray is supposed to be an athletic freak who can’t read and react, but just “needed a change in scenery”

Liafu is a mystery because he flashed last season under Zimmer and was supposed to be the heir apparent to Kendricks— but he has been in the doghouse for some unknown reason

The bottom line is this: how could players that played LBer in college simply forget how to fill, shed, and tackle? They look like they never played the position before!

To me— they look like a bunch of guys making business decisions out there. Playing safe and scared and unwilling to sacrifice their body to make a play.

That is on coaching— Schotty included of course. Bench guys who freelance or don’t play to scheme. Play the guys who play the game the right way.

It’s just bizarre that a LB “guru” is on staff but the unit looks this atrocious. Inexcusable

At this point, I would entertain poaching a few LBs off of other team's practice squads to see if they could play much worse. I'd rather have young guys playing hard for a paycheck then this current group who seem to be mentally checked out.

Biggest weakness on the team and it's not even close.

Is there any group on defense that is worth a damn. DL sucks. Corners hurt but still suck. Safeties have been awful.

 

[Kwyn]

Flus is supposed to be a LB “whisperer.” Instead of being a strength— it is the worst performing unit on the roster.

What does it say about your coaching chops when your “specialty” and “expertise” can’t help the players that are the most directly impacted by your scheme?

LB is his speciality? I didn’t know that

 

[phildadon86]

The players stink. No coach could do anything with them.

Name me the biggest difference between this defensive unit and Quinn’s when he was here.

A little levity goes along way here....especially in a season with low expectations

Totally agree. Churn the roster. Reward production. Demote underachievement

Yah… it’s where he built his rep as a position coach

 

[Chasing6]

The state of this defense is partly because there is a lack of talent and partly because of poor coaching.
Everfus has lost his locker room these guys have no respect for him and are not playing for him.

They are playing for themselves and not to get hurt at this point.

We have a defense that looks like it's in career protection mode.

It is 100% because of the lack of a real GM.

Isn't Micah the obvious answer?

Really good point.

 

[glimmerman]

We let some LB go when we had parsons. We are hurting at CB also. And running zone don’t help…

Before I say no. Did all the corners suddenly forget how to play? Why is it that no matter the DC we continue to have the exact same DL issues? Under quin things got better for about 1.5 years but they decided hankins was too expensive to bring back. I know the DL issues result from them wanting speed and to focus on creating pressure. But with zero gap integrity it's too easy to dump off or take off into wide open gaps for easy gains. These stupid coordinators who think speed is the only thing that matters from kiffen, marineli, quin had the same issue but adjusted, to eberflub. All Jerry guys who install what Jerry likes, fast players who can make splash plays but the problem is they are way too easy to counter. Look at the Green Bay game, Dallas didn't stop Micah, dak just got rid of the ball. Micah beat his man and it didn't matter every time.

I don’t know. Is it?

Let's go with that.

He calls cover zone almost every play.

 

[DuncanIso]

...since Eberjoke brought him over from CHi, I thought there was credibility in that . ..I guess not.

He was all Conf at Wisconsin.

Makes a ton of tackles at MLB.

Need him back asap.

Run D has suffered.
