Maybe. Maybe not. If Marrone gets more of a say I would like to hope and think that they meet in the middle in that war room.

He'll probably want one of those top offensive lineman prospects and a linebacker that can play inside.

Two glaring issues in 2019 were the consistent out of position players on defense and not enough time for neither passer to get consistently comfortable.

This defense lacks a voice in the middle of it to keep them in check and keep them lined up accordingly. It's been missing since Paul retired.

The only good thing for me with Marrone staying is that Flip should be staying and thus it gives us a fair look at Minshew and Foles again going into 2020.

Maybe Minshew gets a more favorable offensive installment for his skills and they're able to attack defenses differently.

Ultimately the defense has to be resolved in 2020. They have to secure a commanding presence in the middle. They need an enforcer in the secondary as well.

If they're 5-7 next year and near the top of the league in penalties again does Khan finally pull the trigger, or are they getting a shot at yet another rebuild and several years to go along with it? The roster seems in dire need of overhaul, and with multiple first round picks this year would have been ideal to start a new direction.

Leash is short. Especially after Khan has publicly backed them two years in a row.

If they get off to a 1 - 5 start or winless start by week 7 there's a good chance Khan goes Dan Synder and fires him extremely early.

He would have no choice. It's going to be a hard sell at the ticket booth next year. Winning cures all of course. But if they don't win early and often?
