I know a lot of people are saying “fire AG,” but let’s really look at our defense.

Our defensive line mainly has backup players, with Hutch being the only standout. McNeil and Buggs aren’t consistently good, and Buggs has some off-field problems. Anzalone is great in our linebacker group, but Barnes and Campbell are more like backups than starters. Remember, Rodrigo used to be our main linebacker last year and it’s mostly the same team this year. Cam and Kerby are the only stand-outs in our secondary, and Branch is still learning. Tracy Walker and Jerry Jacobs are normally backups and only played because Mosley and CJGJ were injured.

Despite a so-so team and injuries, AG has led them to be a top 10 defense, especially against the run game. Sure, there’s room to get better, but AG is doing a lot with the players he has. Hutch might be our only defensive player to get into the pro-bowl, unlike our offense which could have five players like Goff, Ragnow, Swell, LaPorta, and ARSB. AG needs better players, but he’s doing a great job with what he’s been given.

    My concern with AG is that when the defense is doing poorly, he’s abysmal at in-game adjustments.

    He also bad at scheming for mobile QBs. You can blame talent to an extent for this but with mobile QBs being so big in the league, he’s had plenty of chances to prove himself.

    If we’re roasted by mobile QBs the rest of the season, Dan may very well pull the plug on AG.
