Quote:The defense is where the concern lies. Wash seems to have done a good job coaching the interior DL, so Day is probably safe.


The DEs, LBs, and DBs haven't progressed at all under this coaching staff. Not a single one.

 

The secondary hasn't either.  House was already good when he came.  Look at Cyp and Gratz.  They were looking really good their rookie years.  They are mediocre on their best days now.  No progress and it can be argued that Cyp has regressed slightly, and Gratz has fallen off the earth.

 

Colvin also came in his rookie year with high upside, but really hasn't taken off.  McCray is bagging groceries now.  Josh Evans can't even get a job bagging groceries.  Am I missing anyone?  

 

I am still holding out hope that this season will be different.  But the body of work for Gus Bradley shows that he was a product of Pete Carrol and was really not HC material.  Live and learn, I guess.

 

But he's certainly not coaching up the defense.
