For the record, I’m not calling for Nolan to be fired. I actually think it was a decent hire. But with the defense struggling and there already being talk of “simplifying the scheme”, I could see Nolan eventually being fired. Especially if they continue to struggle once fully healthy. George Edwards is already on staff and could step in, running more of a traditional 4-3. That would fit players like Everson Griffen and D-Law better most likely. Thoughts?
How i see the defense despite the obvious need to get much better ..
A) So long as we are still among the more competitive teams....
so long as we are still among the more competitive teams ..
So long as we are winning to stay in the NFC playoff race, ....
So long as we are at the top of the NFC East Division,
So long as we are not among the very losing bottom teams of the NFL,...
so long as we are not on a losing streak that easily
B) With no offseason, preseason and limited camp, it may take some more suitable time to install, learn, adapt and adjust to a new defense
C) Much of the NFL is struggling defensively, as NFL is off to a record setting offensive start ..we are not alone.
Plus we're playing with some of our key CB guns out, injured Dlaw and, we have young developing starting guns like Hill and Diggs
still in beginner's class - we have to see how it plays out as the season progresses.
