Dave campo is known for telling the players to look for the player and not the ball. When that’s coached into you. I don’t need to explain. Go look at urban Ohio tape. Or Florida. Ints and takeaways will happen. Frederick doesn’t need the clock turned back. He is coming back from a serious illness. Another lineman had the same thing and it took him a year to get back to his old self. Martin has been dealing with back issues this season and has given up on this staff and who can blame him? We don’t need an x. We need a coaching staff that coaches and game plans to our players strengths that isn’t hamstrung by strategies that works in the 1990s.
The right head coach and this team is A perennial playoff contender. And going for a Super Bowl in year 1 or 2 under the new regime. If the right coach is brought in.
dude, our DBs have bad hands, of course they are coached to play the man as they are often in "man" coverage, that has nothing to do with getting your head around and making a play on the ball.

First off, NFL stands for not for long ... most careers are cut short by physical issues.
do you imagine coaching can heal damaged cells?
Look - if either of them can't dominate or If they have mental quit for any reason, move on
Football is about toughness and execution - it's supposed to be hard.
I noticed you didn't bother to defend Conner ... personally, I can't blame that on Colombo, Moore, or Garrett - not considering the way this FO does things.
"We don’t need an x."
LOL ... you do in a timing system to sustain drives and kick *** in the red zone.
"hamstrung by strategies that works in the 1990s."
for all intents and purposes there just 2 base Os (timing and WCO) and 2 base Ds (4-3 and 3-4) that have been in place since the mid 60s, designed by geniuses like Brown, Gilman, and Landry. All have incredible variation built in.
For example, at the LOS with just 3 targets, X, Y, and Z / TE the QB can audible to 729 combinations via a 9 pattern route tree, add a 4th target and that scales to 6,500+ options. Throw in protections and formations and you're limited only by creativity.
also it's rather silly to talk about "hamstrung" by what worked in the '90s ...
when's the last time you saw this team run a lead draw or middle screen?
which I wish they would once in a while
you seem like someone who thinks R/P options were invented last year and actually believed the likes of Pedersen and McVay had some new version of the game. Those types pop up in the NFL ... hot then done ... note with roughly equal talent these once hot new coaching stars with recent SB teams are even less competitive than this disappointing Cowboys team. So much for the great man theory.

and what makes you think JJ is capable of - or willing to hire your dream coach?
all roads lead back to JJ and wishing ... is wishing
frankly, I'd rather they let Rod go and put Kellen and Kris in the booth,
I don't believe they are seeing the field well, IMO that's where play callers belong
but I don't think they are listening
also in JG's defense (btw, I never wanted him hired)
JJ forced both Rod and Scott on JG, (I never wanted them hired either)
when they got rid of Scott and inject JG's personally groomed new OC ... #1 offense
lose Rod and we actually might get a top defense - with real DTs added talent matters
Garrett might be the problem - but JJ definitely is the bigger problem
