Do any of us really know if BB ISN'T calling the plays, or overseeing them at least, on defense? If you know for sure, feel free to present evidence of such. For me, the playcalling changes on offense are enough to see visually. McDaniels offense from '06-'08 was a lot different than it is now. So I can say with conviction that O'Brien is calling those plays. However, I am uncertain with the defense.
By the way, our defense has always been a "bend but don't break" type of defense. The only difference is that it breaks a lot more nowadays. But one can attribute that to the personnel available more than coaching.

I can't blame the CB's for last night's loss. What I saw last night from NO offensively was a revelation. While the Pats are mired in the "old way" of play design, what NO has done with offensive pass plays amounts to a paradigm shift for the entire NFL. The Colts use some of the "new way" but NO has embraced it 100%.
Hate to tell you foks this, but he is not listening to Bon Jovi on those headphones...
This is not a personnel problem.
You know it's a coordinator issue on both sides of the ball because:
- Our 2nd half numbers, especially in the losses, have been pathetic.
- We can't win an away game
If it were a personnel problem we wouldn't have such great 1st half stats.

If it were a coordinator problem we wouldn't have such great first half stats since the first 15 or so plays are scripted by coordinators to probe a defense/offense.
