It's not just one writer or one poster or one untrained eye or two or three or four....It's multiple people that either played in the NFL or Coached in the NFL and now fans and writers saying these things.
Does that mean Rex Ryan's eyes are untrained? Dan O's? Multiple NFL beat writers and talking heads and many fans...
I am just a fan, but i played D1 ball and have been either playing or Coaching for most of my life, now I am just older and don't feel like it anymore, had an offer to Coach DBs at the college level. I hate throwing that stuff out there but I almost feel like I have to so you won't just call me an uninformed child and blow past me. I hate doing that but you seem to put people down as children or never played or uninformed or just ignorant...I am non of those and I am a very solid knowledgeable football fan. I base what I post on the film I watch, yep I watch the film just like you do.
I see a mix of Morris doing pretty much the same stuff Stayley did without the same players a mistake. I also see a very basic level without much challenge to routes and receivers being run. I also see a very easy-to-read coverage and overall D run out there week in and week out. It's not that hard for an NFL-level QB to find the soft match-up or soft player and expose them.
When Jalen Ramsey is covering Lewis on a huge 3rd and 3 there is a problem, when the slightest motion puts 17 on DD in the slot there is a problem. When the D isn't trying to disrupt routes or take anything away it's a problem. My main problem with what Coach Morris is doing is that he isn't trying to take anything away at all, he isn't aggressive and he doesn't change when there is a clear problem. Jones should be playing over Reeder right now and there is no doubt about it, I would rather live with a youth mistake than a just can't play player. If you arent creating pressure with the regular rush then you have to get creative and get a rush going, if the zones arent being played right then change what it is youre doing or how youre doing it.
I hate the fact that the Packer game started the game with an 8 minute drive and started the second half with another one.
I am not one that places blame soley on the D, the offense and STs are failing as well, so is the Coaching in all 3 phases.
Its time to make changes everywhere to make this work before they flush this season down the drain. Its time for the Coaches to help these players, do a better job of using what you do have instead of trying to make players do things they cant....use them for what they do best. Change packages and if players are blowing assignments or coverages or blocks then change em out. Keep trying until you find something that works better then what youre doing.
Morris is a good football coach, much better then he is showing, he needs to get more flexable and creative or he isnt earning his paycheck period.
