I think my position on Blache is pretty clear by now. If anyone is over-rated it's him. Portis fails to get one yard and it's not his or the o-lines fault, it's Zorns. Sellers drops a TD pass that hits him right in the hands and Zorns a bad playcaller. The offense is going up and down the field better than it has in years, but the players make stupid mistakes once they get inside the redzone and it's Zorns fault.

The defense can't tackle, can't get off the field, plays too far off the receivers, can't get to the QB, partially because the best pass rushing DE to come out of college last year is running around chasing TE's instead of the QB, and Blache basically tells everyone they don't understand defense whenever he gets questioned. We didn't draft an 0-lineman with our first pick, we drafted a DE. We didn't sign the best o-lineman available in free agency, we signed the best DT. We signed a DE in the supplemental draft. We resigned Hall to a huge contract. How much exactly does Blache need for us to have a defense that can get some 3 and outs, some turnovers, and more than 1 sack a game? How much do we need to stop Detroit from marching 99 yards?

When he was dismissed in Chicago he didn't get any offers to be a DC anywhere else that I know of. He came here to coach the line for Greg Williams and had the title of DC in name only, Williams ran the "D". Stafford looked like a probowl QB today and it's inexcusable. Blaches comments were that there is a reason the Lions picked him #1. There is also a reason why they were 0-2 before they played us and Stafford had 5 picks in those games. Our offense needs work, but mainly the players need to stop making mistakes in the redzone. We've gotten better players on defense but I have'nt seen any improvement, in fact, we've gotten worse. Blache should be held accountable and if he doesn't like it he can leave.
