More than three years of "rebuilding" the defense and no significant progress has been made.
Is it time to bring in an experienced defensive co-ordinator, as Dom Capers was brought in a previously, to take over the defensive schemes and personnel?
Yes, but I feel like it has more to do with personnel than anything. We don't have the personnel in the secondary or DLine to stop a decent offense.
The defensive line stopped a decent offense today.
The issue is talent at coverage LB, nickel back and at free safety.
Said this before but honestly, who wouldn't take the entire Bama defense with a year of nfl experience over our secondary?just a quick question. Would the pats be better off with:
A: Current defense
b: Last year's defense
c: Alabama defense
d: L.s.u. Defense
e: B.c. Defense
lets get some players - before it's too late.
IMO BB could be the genius he always was if he had the players to execute his schemes. Its lack of talent.I'm actually pretty happy the fanbase is in somewhat of a consensus here (and one that I'm in agreement with). I'd be curious to see the results of this poll had we won the game instead... as I'm sure more than a few people are just overly pissed and wanting a change ASAP.
But in all honesty, the talk of adjusting the defense at the coaching level has been talked about for at least a few years now, and deservedly so. Belichick has pretty much built this defense, and he's had an almost entirely different one (or numerous ones) before that. And every time, it's the same problems.
Bill Belichick does not know how to coach an effective defense right now. We can sugar-coat that statement, blaming the personnel and injuries and whatnot... but BB is the defacto GM and has left us with the guys we have anyway... so he's at least as much to blame as anyone in that respect as well.
They suffer from missing key pieces in key places.
I would love to see us make a Godfather offer for the likes of an Ed Reed or Dwight Freeney.
What team is better equipped to make such an offer? We have obviously proved inept at addressing these needs through the draft.
Heck, I'd say the same about an offensive playmaker at WR. Reggie Wayne?
