WOWZERS

This is a fact that cannot be mitigated or explained away. The extraordinary patience exhibited by Ron Rivera in this case is not a virtue. This level of defensive incompetence demands immediate personnel changes, either in players, coaches or both. Honestly, if Rivera fails to make swift, effective changes to the defense, his job should rightfully be on the line. As much as I would hate to see him lose his job, he is now fair game, IMO.

Some changes have come out of necessity - injuries, but I have to say it was nice to see Collins on the sideline at the start of the game on Sunday, and then when he was in there - making plays almost exclusively around the line of scrimmage. Dare I say it was his best game so far?

+1

He didn't play an amazing game - but I saw him a couple times making stops around the LOS. I'm good with it. Less chasing receivers down the field, more stopping runs for short gains.

Last off-season RR and his front office people tried to "fix" a young secondary that wasn't broken. They cut good young players and replaced them with older veterans who have failed to produce. The best of those young players was, of course, picked up by another team. Is that the way to build a team?

Now, they have turned a highly paid veteran player (Collins) into a role player.

RR has lost sight of what he was brought in to do which was to acquire and develop young players to build a perennial contender.

Can we just stop it with all the Jimmy Moreland love already. The dude hasn't played one defensive snap for a Houston Texans team whose defense has given up the third most points in the NFL so far. He hasn't sniffed the field, with the exception of a handful of special teams reps...

Easy to second guess Ron's decision making because our D is still pretty bad 7 weeks into the season, but this is not a decision I'm questioning.

Im certainly not going to act like he was the next Darrell Green, but I liked him. He played well here whenever he was given the opportunity. I thought he would develop into a good player for us. Thought he already had. I didn’t like the move. Can’t explain whats going on with him in Houston but he was good here.

Im no fan of RR. But what was he supposed to do with Collins? It isn’t like he didn’t have plenty of chances. Dude sucks. He sucks less playing LB. Not sure what Rons options were there.
