the defense played above their talent level? we were 32nd in the league. we were one of the worst defenses ever. we went two games without making one stop for a score....!!!! what games have you been watching. and yes we had trouble on the DL with injuries, but still yet, he had talent in other areas and they all underwhelmed.
and room is not the motivator, he is the part of the problem. jerry wanted room friendly offense and wanted room more involved in offensive game planning, thinking room is payton manning!!! and what did we get, a player who sees an 8 man front and immediately, without a doubt will change the play from run to pass. a player where stats show he is better from under center, but wants to be in shut gun formation all the time.
what garrett didn't do is rein in room's talent and manage it better. but then again.
there is no denying that we didn't quite have the talent base on this team, DL, OL, LB. we lacked where it counted. that's the GM doing a bad job. we are built outside in, with Claiborne, carr, dez, witten and Williams. and going 8-8 is a miracle with the defense that we had and the things we had to over come.
but then again, it sounds like you are part of the group that thinks if a coach doesn't yell or scream...he is not motivating.
