I worry that they're just gonna make all sorts of excuses for why the defense was so lousy this year....so Wash can keep his job. "Oh but Telvin left us hanging! Jalen wanted out! Dareus got hurt! My system is perfect when you have all-pro talent playing!"

Something does indeed need to radically change. Does Marrone have the guts to recognize this and do something about it, though? Who knows. I've already accepted next season will most likely be another five or six win season if they're lucky. The only hope I have is that Minshew comes out and improves in leaps and bounds and proves beyond all doubts that he's every bit as good as a future franchise QB for this team.

That is, if the current coaching staff doesn't run all of his chances for that into the ground next season...which is why the defense has to do its part, and that includes [BLEEP] Wash, unfortunately. I'm not getting my hopes up for him being demoted or fired.
