THAT part is true, they inherited a mess on defense. THESE are the former regimes players. With a couple exceptions. But to be THIS bad, is unacceptable. This is still the NFL, which stands for NOT FOR LONG. Its a results based business.FIRST, I would play a ton of press/man to man coverage. LOTS of nickel. Diggs isnt ready to play corner..its evident. START HIM AT SAFETY NEXT TO DONNY WILSON. Bench the garbage known as Thompson and Woods. We need wholesale changes on defense TODAY.

Yep, how many years has the defensive line been patched up with spares that Rod Marinelli claims to have "coached up" - every year it was horrible and somehow in this 1st year where there was no training camp somehow Nolan should have taken garbage and produced a gourmet dinner.

You can blame McCarthy and Nolan for this teams problems but they are merely using what the GM and Owner have given them - basically a team that has no defense.

I’m anti-MM and have been since the day he was hired. He was a comfort hire that was exposed as a fraud in GB. All Jerry cares about is having a coach that will kiss his butt.

So, I agree that Jerry is THE problem. But MM is a bad head coach.

That is true of all franchises not named the Dallas Cowboys. Here you just need to be pals with the Owner and you can play terrible and nothing will happen. I guarantee you next year, Lawrence and Smith will be on this team. Zeke will be here.

It was always going to be a comfortable hire. I would have loved for someone like Urban Meyer but there is no way Jerry hires a guy who is going to challenge him and that is part of the issue. You cannot run a football franchise like a frat house and expect that everything will pan out.

I always thought they should have kept Zimmer too. Even when the Cowboys were a really bad football team, Zimmer managed to get his defenses to play decent football.

we let Kerry Hyder walk and he was really good for the niners last night. He sure is missed.

HaHa Clinton-Dix
Dontari Poe
Daryl Worely
Everson Griffen

These are MM priority signings.

Eberflus wanted out ASAP folks.
This is what it seemed like to me. The team showed they’re anted him too at the top but he just didn’t want to be apart of the circus. Maybe he cares too much about his blood pressure. Can’t fault the man for that

I didn't read all the tweets but I found it funny that McCarthy seemed to focus his presser on the offense and things he can do better to get the offense rolling early.

It's like he knows he has to protect Nolan.

Jaguars
Vikings
Jets
Bears

They've played 4 of, what, the 8 worst offenses in football. They should be rated pretty high.

Had to do something to patch - Not really sure what you were expecting to happen when this team spends poorly on defense and has done so long before Mike McCarthy ever was a thought to be a coach in this org. You are not going to fix 10 years of poor drafting and neglect in one offseason.

MM hit on exactly ZERO on his FA signings.
