Why are we such trash?

No it isn't.

LG, C, RT, RB2, RB3, TE2, WR2, WR3, WR4 are all different. There's no "basically" there, half the starters are different. And the LT and RG are significantly worse than they were in 2022.

Defense has Ron [BLEEP] Darby as CB1 and a 6th round guy as CB2 along with a SS who was a 5 last year. Savage has been hurt all year. JHA, RRH, and Hamilton are it on the front line since Armstead appears to be spent, while Foye has been out since week one. Lloyd and Cisco both are struggling in the new scheme, which really seems to be the heart of the issue as we said in the D thread, they don't have the right guys for a Man heavy scheme.

You only see what you want to see. I don't know how you coach highly paid football players to do basic football stuff like catch and not fumble, to me that is solely on the player who [BLEEP] up. You can't cut them, they're the best we have (I guess) and help is not on the way. They just simply aren't doing what needs to be done when given every opportunity to do so.

Theres ways to get indiviuals to perform at higher levels.
Throwing your hands up and saying "we discussed it with the players" isnt enough.
Whatever the coaching staff is doing, it isnt enough.
This isnt an issue with one or two players, its the entire roster.
The attention to details, intensity, sense of urgency, and focus all come from the leaders, whether it be coaches or players.

Multiple dudes dropping passes, multiple dudes fumbling, multiple dudes missing blize assignments.
Multiple dudes shooting the wrong gap, multiple dudes picking up the wrong receiver, multiples dudes misreading keys.

The players and team as a whole are a reflection of the coaches and theres some rot in that coaching staff for allowing some of the stuff that is going on.
And it seems Cisco has noticed this rot in the form of individuals not putting in the appropriate effort.
