Re: Blown Coverages - Who do we blame?!

I blame the players. They obviously can't get what the coaches are teaching. If you get beat fine, that's physical. But to have mental breakdowns like that is just inexcusable at the NFL level. Amerson should be benched. He was clearly not ready to play today. And we all saw that Thomas isn't ready either. Do these guys study and watch film at all?

Amerson showed up late to team meeting, so probably not.

At this point, I don't even think benching proves a point. I bet these dudes are like, "Yeah, right. Bench me and then what? We just lose worse." I wouldn't even be worried about job security if I played for the Redskins because no matter what, whoever is behind me on the depth chart is probably worlds worse than I am.

It's kinda like when D. Hall got injured and the secondary began collapsing. D. Hall is good... Above average, I'd say... But nowhere near elite, but because everyone else on the secondary absolutely blows, it makes losing him look like we lost Richard Sherman or Revis back there.

On defense of Minnifield, this was his first pro game where saw lots of action, he can at least tackle. How did Breeland do on his first couple of games? A lot of what you saw today was due to Andrew Luck being the next great QB and Amerson had a worst game than Minnifield.

What about the people who acquired players who won't study or can't learn? Should we just continue with them? I wouldn't send anyone from our front office to the grocery store - he might come back with spoiled meat.

According to Allen the Redskins have "no gaping holes." I wonder who he would blame.

Re: Blown Coverages - Who do we blame?!

I blame everyone. Bruce Allen, Jay Gruden, Jim Haslett, Raheem Morris, and every player in the secondary.

I would consider completely cleaning house.

Re: Blown Coverages - Who do we blame?!

What really bothers me is that the season is over and even the young guys aren't even trying. It is as if they aren't motivated by job security let alone the coach's wrath. I said it before he was hired and I will say it again, Gruden is garbage. He is unfit to be a head coach and keeping him around for another year will result in yet another wasted year.

The easy answer is to fire him and he should be fired but as long as Mr. Snyder owns this team you'll get the same result with the next coach. Fck this team indeed!

Raheem Morris works with the secondary every day, so I would start with him.

Get rid of Haslet and Raheem, along with everyone other coach on defense and hire Rex Ryan to fix this mess. Honestly, if Harbaugh is available hire him and let him run the team the way he wants to. I hate everyone they hire. It is all about guys that fit Snyder's stupid personality, instead of the best football mind available. We have the entire crew from some stupid ass arena football team coaching crappy players, picked using a dart board.

BHahahaha that's a great post! Pretty sure I heard Ryan is taking a break from football, and Harbaugh wants to stay out west. But it's still true there's good HC candidates available every year and we're effing due for one.

That could explain our situation.

Re: Blown Coverages - Who do we blame?!

Besides Jarvis Jenkins, when is the last hand in the dirt down defensive lineman we have drafted higher than the 5th round? Rounds 1 through 4?

Does anyone know?

Not anybody on our current roster.

How far back do you have to go for our last high round defensive lineman?

Hatcher and Cofield are on the wrong side of 30.

Looked it up.

Kenard Lang back in 1997. First round.
