It’s time - no more excuses. This is the WORST coached secondary ive ever seen in the NFL - absolutely pathetic scheme and half time adjustments. 

We have lost at least 3 games because of this bum. 

If Doug wants a shot at keeping his job, he needs to make this adjustment. This is PATHETIC

And Doug.

And Baalke.

And the bozo players outside of Bigsby, BTJ, Engram, Tyson and Cooke.

And the janitors.

Shad doesn’t have it in him to do this yet. That’s why im saying at the VERY least we need to fire Nielsen, this is just unacceptable coaching. COACHING MALPRACTICE

Was Atlanta's defense this bad last season?


Is it a positional coach thing? Injuries?

Not sure if an in season assistant coach firing is going to have any impact. Defense has been questionable from the second game.

What I do know is that you don't win crap without a good defense.

Brandon Scherff is no longer that dude.   Next season I want him gone.

And Doug.

And Baalke.

And the bozo players outside of Bigsby, BTJ, Engram, Tyson and Cooke.

Baalke is enough. Let the next GM do the firing and hiring from there.

Defense taking plays off? More like taking games off. Outside Miller, everyone on defense has not earned their roster spot

Im just saying at this point he should be SUED for how bad of a coach he is. Ive never seen a Jags Defense this INEPT every week. It’s the worst coached D in the NFL. Mike Caldwell was way better than this… AND that’s saying something

Yes. Fire Nielsen now. Doug and Trent can come at the end of the season, but front office has to give us some hint that they are at least TRYING to get better.

It's a "this team has little talent" thing. Same as it's been for years.

I don't know how they can fire Nielsen now when they still haven't fired Doug and Baalke.

Last year we had the 17th ranked D, this year 30th

This is all going to take care of itself in due time .. no staff can withstand what this team is about to finish. They all will be gone.

The difference is they went to a higher risk scheme without adequately getting the right guys to play it, then the ones that matter the most (Tyson and Foye) have been injured.

Our last 'elite' defense was the 99-2000 season. Period. 2017 was fools gold. And its not a coincidence that we had an elite DC back then in Dom Capers.

The problem isn't coaching, it's talent.

When you don't have the defensive talent to be able to stop the run or rush the passer without selljng out to do either of those things then you can't do anything.

The Jaguars have had a talent deficit at every position on the team except for offensive skill players for years.

Nielsen scheme is press man to man, only CB really who fits it is Tyson who was BALLING today btw. So the hire literally made zero sense, they made Mike Caldwell the fall guy. Caldwell atleast got JHA and Walker some sacks.

The D-line rotates like a hockey team, Walker/JHA go invisible for 91% the game, and Armstead is a pure bust. Oh, and 2nd round Maason Smith inactive lol.

Nielsen is refusing to adjust, he just runs his scheme.... and with this particular roster its like fitting a square 10x10 ft peg into a 1 inch wide round hole. Just all around suckery.

Tyson was injured last year as well along with Cisco, Hamilton etc.  The difference is Nielsen sucks as a DC.  I'd take Caldwell over Nielsen any day

Of course it's that simple to you.

You know .... not seeing things change very much. The owner will need to figure it out.

Death of the Franchise - November 29, 2011

Fans deserve better. Thanks for all the good times too many are in the past.

The problem isn't coaching, it's talent.

When you don't have the defensive talent to be able to stop the run or rush the passer without asking it to do either of those things them you can't do anything.

The Jaguars have had a talent deficit at every position on the team except for offensive skill players for years.

A coaches job is to put his players in positions to be most effective, and to motivate them to give effort consistently throughout the game.

Do the Jags players play in the right position to make stops or make plays?

Do the Jags players play with effort throughout the entire game?

The answer to both of those is "no". 

So what are the Jags coaches good for?
