Defense has been getting more talented each year, yet players are all regressing. These past three seasons their yards per play allowed rank 30th, 32nd, and 21st. And this is despite Hutchinson, Mcneil, Anzalone, and Branch all grading well per PFF.
Brian Flores and Jim Schwartz turned MIN and CLE’s defense around in one season, and their fans will tell you their coaching is outperforming their talent. At this point, they have to let go of AG, right?
The defense is 19th in yards per play, 12th in yards per game, should be about 15th or 16th in DVOA after last game. They are basically exactly average this season, not bad.
Now look at our roster. Our secondary is poor, Branch is the only good player and 2 of our FA signings are injured, Sutton has been a disappointment. At LV we have Anzalone having a solid career year, a mediocre player in Barnes, and a struggling rookie. We have two great lineman in Hutch and McNeil, but that’s it, the line falls off tremendously after
Please tell me why anyone thinks firing our DC will somehow improve things? This is not even close to an above average defensive roster.
