Blown Coverages - Who do we blame?!

[SFREDSKIN]

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.

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?

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.

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

This thread isn't based on observations from just today's games. I've seen blown coverages all year long. Even when we were healthy in the secondary. I get the Colts are the #1 passing team in the league, and I'm not complaining about slight separation... every ball I expect the replay to show the skins player slipping and falling... but it doesn't.

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.

Rex Ryan, 2015

Top 10 D.

You heard it here first.

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.

[DynamiteRave]

And I mean Lang as a hand in the dirt DE that stayed a DE. Not DE's we converted into LBs a la Kerrigan and Orakpo.

I'm just going to assume that's bad.

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.

I had to listen to the entire game, so not only am I pissed at the results of the game, I'm pissed at having to listen to those guys stumble through a broadcast.

My questions is this, who is the "on the field" leader of the defense, or the defensive QB? I know half of our defensive starters lack talent/skills to play at this level, but is there anyone who gets what the coaching are planning? If not, the blame lays directly on the coaching staff. Someone should be able to, or at least care enough to remind the players who don't get the weekly snaps what to do. Total team failure today....except for a handful of players. Sounded like Jordan had a nice game, and Colt was throwing the ball well.

Team is missing DeAngelo Hall in a big way

What's really frustrating is watching Amerson. Here's a high draft pick, he's suppose to be improving and he's regressing badly. Drafted player who sucking, plus missing meetings that got him benched. Wtf is wrong with these guys? Do some of them actually like football? Or do they play just for the check?
