I have done a few things
(1) explain Morris's scheme and educate people that it is not "his" scheme that it's Staley's
I think you're just playing a semantics game with this. Who's the DC? Staley is gone, this is Morris' defense now. If he chose to take the job on the promise that he could emulate what Staley was doing and not his own thing, then that's still on him.
(2) dispel the ridiculous notion that Morris needed to be fired midseason
I don't think you dispelled that notion. I still wish he was fired and I bet I'm not alone.
(3) prove that the defense was not nearly as bad as the critics said it was
How so? Nitpicking deep stats that are "better" than last year don't absolve the unit as a whole. The defense is collectively worse in PPG and effectiveness in key situations.
And, I still don't believe you've just been an objective voice of reason. You repeatedly bring up Stafford when people are talking about the defense. You also have tried and marginalize what he has been able to do. "He is what he is" isn't being objective, that's putting a negative spin on things.
