Though no one is denying that the Rams offense is an unmitigated disaster, it would seem that (for many) the same could be said of the defense.
And it's simply not true.
And notice that people accuse me of defending Morris--and they are right.
But I've never defended the Fangio scheme, I have studied it and learned
about it and explained it best I can.
I prefer, and this will sound odd, Jeff Fisher's type of defense. 4-3
4-2-5 nickel . . . one-gap, multiple coverages, and blitzes. It was
well thought out...though in a couple aspects it was considered unsound
but not on everything. I also like 49ers-style defense--again 4-man line
multiple coverages.
Anyway, maybe you were not making this point but there is a big difference
between wanting changes and hating to see failures on defense and
wanting someone fired 6-7 games into their first season. And from that
moment I saw what I needed to see from the oldnotdead's of the world.
But in a world of grey, even if someone thinks the defense stinks and
hates the off-coverages, fine, but if they deny that the defense is one
of the better ones in the NFL then it's lacking reason.
You just don't fire people for doing a good job because you don't like
the way it looks and that is why I defend Morris.
He was (1) unfairly targeted for being fired
(2) lied about in terms of the actual results.
