Quote:Actually, I posted in another thread how the acquisition of talent, via the draft tilted towards the offense until this year. The things Bradley noted as being part of why the defense under performed has held true. They said they needed a ballhawking FA to keep cyp in position. True. They needed a long, athletic corner. True. They've started a 3rd round rookie and he has been key to our pass rush. If they haven't been wrong in the utilization of the other rookies drafted with Jack, why would they be wrong there?

If you don't have the players to play your defensive style, change the style until you get those players. Forcing them to do something you know they're not capable of does not make sense.

 

They're starting Yannick because they missed out on Vernon. If they had gotten Vernon, I doubt Yannick would be seeing the field at all. He is playing because we literally have no one else and it just so happens he's good. Jack should have been starting since week 1 but instead, they put slow man Skuta in there.

 

This coaching staff also continually has their lineman guard position players and they routinely get burned. This defense is not disciplined (case made by the amount of penalties) and I believe a different HC would be able to take this defense to an even higher level.
