Gus Bradley's defenses 2013-2015; Where's the improvement?
|
Quote:Not that I'm defending Bradley here, but isn't it odd that a defensive coach like Bradley could have the side of the ball that ISN'T his specialty show DRAMATIC improvement from last year to this one? The head coach is supposed to have coordinators to run the offense and defense. A head coach may start coaching over his coordinator on the side he's familiar with, but almost never has much effect on the other side of the ball. Coughlin just let his DC run the defense. JDR just let his OC run the offense. The only thing a head coach can do with a bad coordinator on the other side is fire him. In Bradley's case, he'll have very little say in the offense week to week. He did chew out Fisch, and eventually fire him, but Bradley still was not coaching the offensive players nor calling the plays. Fisch got fired because of the way he handled Bortles, basically shutting him down after an interception in the Indy game. Olson is running the offense. He's responsible for the success or failure of the offense. A year of development by Bortles and the WRs, and improvement at both OTs has no doubt been at least partly responsible for the huge improvement on that side. Babich is running the defense. He has a history of being a bad coordinator with the Bears. Bradley could take over the DC job, he may or may not have done so. If so, it hasn't helped. Either Bradley is the problem, or Babich is the problem and Bradley hasn't taken steps to fix it. Some people blame the lack of Marks and Fowler, but Fowler wasn't here last year and the Jags improved at RDE, CB, linebacker, and safety which should compensate for the dropoff without Marks, yet the defense has fewer sacks and is giving up more points per game than last year, in spite of playing against backup and rookie QBs and OLs in shambles this year. There are plenty of teams with worse defensive personnel playing much tougher schedules with more success. The Bears, Eagles, and Ravens come to mind.
