No. Shotty can't be blamed for the ineptitude of our DC and corners. Our back 7 is getting no help from our DC. Plus, they are terrible. Haven't seen nothing rise to this level of stank defensively since the 89-90 season.
Don't blame Bland, he was covering over the top. The LB was too slow to get there. Looked to me like the LB should have been sliding to his right from the snap. Instead, he reacted to the QB. Probably would have been easier to just bump him at the line instead.
Shottenheimer has been out coached for decades. Guy is a zero.
He is not a NFL HC. Who else would hire him?
Around the league he was being praised. Aaron Glenn fits your description of what an NFL coach isn't. Shotty can't play defense. If we get 1 stop we win. Eberflub needs gone. Diggs needs gone. Bland looks done.
Not according to NFL people, the announcer's each week say he was the right hire. And he was.
Tell me one team is that would have hired him if Jerry did not.
Maybe the Jets for instance. I'm pretty sure they are having buyers remorse right now.
Shottenheimer is the head coach. The same crap that has plagued the D week one is still there.
That one play is a fireable offense. He must be fired today.
Yep, as Belt is saying, the play proceeded they expected, and lost out on execution (by Murray being late). Bland was the bait. Whether that was the right play on 4th and 4 (when the QB struggles under pressure) is the problem. Eberflus' stubborn inability to pressure the QB and not putting players situations that suit their skillsets.
Not sure I follow. What's he supposed to do exactly? He is missing tons of key players, we are playing with guys that shouldn't or would never start, much less play in an NFL game...and you want him gone. Ok lol... Oh and he doesn't play defense, doesn't call the defenses. Other than that your right.
And the fact the dbs seem lost from start to finish and leave guys running open by 15 yards all day . Has little to do with getting pressure. We are generationally poor on d. We also are very unsure on what we are doing defensively. Eberflus should be fired today. Diggs ought to be gone. He sucks . Doesn't care.
wouldnt bother me a bit and i agree but I dont know it does anything in terms of fixing things. It may send a message and perhaps you can improve marginally but the problem on defense is talent. The line of scrimmage on defense is bad and we have 1 player that can create any kind of success maybe 2 but thats a stretch.
Pretty much all of this.....take your pick = players playing with zero confidence.
