Re: Crable is ready,is he able?
A system that nets 3 Lombardis over 10 years should not be tossed away because it failed to net a Lombardi seven years out of ten.
When the Texans win a bunch of superbowls I'll be convinced that the Texans method of handling OLBs is better than the Pats method. Generating a bunch of individual stats is not always the same as having a superior defense.
So you know of a coach whose methods were more successful than BB's "pats system" during his term as a Pats HC?I am not sold on the way BB handles OLBs. He tries to convert every player; even 3-4 veterans are converted to "pats system" LBs. Everyone has such a steep learning curve here, even proven veterans like Burgess; let alone the youngsters. It takes so long to bring a guy up to speed and see playing field and then find out they are not the answer (see Woods). Why not throw them out there early? It's not as if we are losing much. The OLB playing was very poor either way, why not throw youngsters out there.
Even if we drafted Brian Cushing and Clay Mathews, I think BB will still sit them and not let them play and mess them with "Pats" techniques. It's a total mess up the way he coaches OLBs. I really don't think Cunningham will see adquate playing time this year.
The root of OLB problems is BB.
