The defense is bad because they needed to "get bigger and stronger" and the dip [BLEEP] GM brought in one 10 year vet and they still cant push the middle. The defense is bad because the tacking machine is on IR and we're making do with lesser back ups. The defense is bad because the vet CB they brought in had to sub for the #1 CB who's been injured and he's not good enough.

Like always, it's Players not Plays.

So why are the Steelers always in the playoff hunt? How do the Packers always seem to figure out how to be competitive. How is it that Sean Payton has taken a trash team and figured out how to make a competent team with a rookie QB, even with all their salary troubles? Why can the Chargers go from a finesse joke of a team to a hard nosed running team that are in the wild card hunt? How is it that the Commanders all of a sudden look really good, with a rookie QB when they were in shambles last year?

I mean there are so many obvious things that point to how it's not just players. It's the coaching and the development and the culture they are working within. I don't get how anyone can say "It's players not plays". Coaching is everything in the NFL. You don't have a good coaching staff that can develop the draft picks you get you just have a bunch of raw college players that won't ever figure out how to excel at the next level. This isn't high school or college ball. It's the NFL. Every player runs fast. Every player has the strength of the Hulk. Every player (besides the kicker and punter) a body made of steel. The teams that are consistently good are the ones that have a staff that can develop those 21 and 22 year olds into NFL players.

You don't just draft a player and they are a complete NFL star from the get go. That's not how it works. The players not plays mantra is so out dated.

Shad said it. This is the most talented Jaguars roster in our history. (By "our" I think he meant the history since he's been the owner. Everyone knows that the 97-99 and the 06-08 teams were more talented) The problem is that we have the same old mediocre coaching that can't get the best out of the players we have. It's just that simple.
