What I'm getting at here is.... is Wash getting the best of the talent at hand or is the talent just too good that whoever is calling plays will look good? Big difference between the two. I'd love to see a much more creativity defense schemer and play caller but that's just me. I feel like anyone from the stands could call coverages for this defense and they'd be successful.

I think a lot of the good things Wash does are being conveniently glossed over here, but whatever. Haters gonna hate. 

There's not a lot of clever stuff in this defense that's ranked #1 in the league in several categories -  and I'm fine with it. 
Wanna give all the credit to players and besmirch the guy lining them up? Fine, have at it. 
I think he's doing fine.  

I saw 6 or 7 downs the other day where I was mystified at the corners being so far off. Marrone's presser seemed to suggest a few explanations. Either the players were taking too much liberty within the called coverage, got the coverage wrong, or that the playbook itself needs to be more specific about the CB technique required by some of the playcalls.  Sounds like they intend to fix that. 

I don't care about the rest as long as we've got these dogs out there getting it done.

Not hating just posing the question. Because cmon lets think about it. 2 all pro CBs, 2 pro bowl caliber S's, Jack is all pro caliber, Telvin is pro bowl, Calais all pro, Yannick pro bowl, Dareus former all pro and pro bowl caliber, Malik pro bowl, Fowler off the bench is amazing ... every player is either all pro or pro bowl caliber and that's not even being a homer. That's just facts. 

It's not hard to call cover 4 and rush 4 or cover 2 rush 4. My main question is, do people believe Wash is getting the BEST out this group. If not, that's a damn shame because only once 10 years a single team gets a defense with this much talent. It also doesn't last very long. 

He's in the luxury that he can't get fired because of the stats so it's a hypothetical.
