Blache is not a good d-coordinator and hopefully he'll retire after this season so someone more aggressive and less loyal to aging under-performing veterance will replace him.

BHA u can't have it both ways... in one recent post u stated we typically have below-average talent on our roster and here u say Blache is a bad d-coordinator. Well if we really have below average talent (on d) and a bad coordinator how do we get to a 4th best overall rating?
... i tend to think our talent on d is above average slightly (very good secondary and average front 7 at least through last year) and our defensive coordinator does pretty well w/ what we've got but has made some serious errors. As GTripp has pointed out when we blitzed mostly last year the results were disastrous yet Blache didn't adjust quickly. Basically I'll say w/ a nice addition or two at OLB and the line (assuming we resign Hall)
and if Blache learns from his flubs we'll continue to be a top 5 defense.
